| 1 |
Kentucky Wildcats |
18-0 (3-0) | 2 | 2 | 13 | 7 | #1 Here and soon to be #1 in both media polls. |
| 2 |
Tennessee Volunteers |
15-2 (3-0) | 8 | 8 | 10 | 10 | Reinforcements have arrived. Well...two of them at least. Trap game at Georgia? |
| 3 |
Vanderbilt Commodores |
14-3 (3-0) | 26 | 27 | 22 | 21 | First time since '89-'90 to be 3-0. 4-0? Not since Clyde Lee. |
| 4 | Mississippi St. Bulldogs | 15-3 (3-0) | 23 | 27 | 36 | 34 | Win at Alabama and they have two wins over biggest challengers in SEC West. |
| 5 |
Mississippi Rebels |
14-4 (2-2) | 22 | 24 | 32 | 24 | Loss against UT on the road only affecting SEC Tourney seeding at this point. |
| 6 | Florida Gators | 13-5 (2-2) | X | X | 49 | 52 | Gutted one out against Arkansas on the road. Big game Saturday against South Carolina for 4th in SEC East. |
| 7 | South Carolina Gamecocks | 11-7 (2-2) | X | X | 79 | 76 | Two game losing streak against upper tier SEC teams. Road win versus Florida would be huge, obviously. |
| 8 |
Alabama Crimson Tide |
11-7 (1-3) | X | X | 76 | 79 | Still a better team than Arkansas statistically. Need to start playing that way. Opportunity presents itself this weekend. |
| 9 |
Georgia Bulldogs |
8-8 (0-3) | X | X | 94 | 97 | Toughest opening schedule of any SEC team? Who did Mark Fox tick off at SEC HQ? Earning respect through losses not really a consolation prize to UGA fans. |
| 10 |
Arkansas Razorbacks |
8-10 (1-2) | X | X | 130 | 158 | Playing much better after the return of Fortson. Razorbacks enter the Blue Mist this weekend. |
| 11 |
Auburn Tigers |
10-9 (1-3) | X | X | 128 | 154 | Stole one against LSU. Unfortunately it was LSU. |
| 12 |
LSU Tigers |
9-9 (0-4) | X | X | 168 | 160 | Poor Tasmin Mitchell. He scores 38 and the team fails him. |
