# | Team | Record | AP | ESPN | Pom | Sag | Comments |
1 |
Kentucky Wildcats |
29-2 (14-2) | 2 | 2 | 9 |
4 |
SEC Regular Season Champions. To UK fans, this only qualifies as "average." No banner, no celebration. |
2 |
Vanderbilt Commodores |
23-7 (12-4) | 20 | 23 | 32 | 26 | The bad: Not an encouraging way to end the best SEC season under Kevin Stallings. The good: They've had solid results when forced to refocus. |
3 |
Tennessee Volunteers |
23-7 (11-5) | 15 | 13 | 27 | 18 | Truth be told, UT is neck and neck with Vandy at this point. Capable of winning 4 in 4. |
4 | Mississippi Rebels | 21-9 (9-7) | X | X | 52 | 45 | Get the nod over Florida due to the stronger finish. |
5 |
Florida Gators |
20-11 (9-7) | X | X | 49 | 43 | Battled back versus Kentucky but 38 minutes doesn't cut it. They need 40 versus Auburn in a must win. |
6 |
Mississippi St. Bulldogs |
21-10 (9-7) | X | X | 53 | 55 | You're supposed to play your way IN to the NCAA tournament... |
7 |
South Carolina Gamecocks |
15-15 (6-10) | X | X | 88 | 76 | Another week, another top SEC team Devan Downey'd. Gamecocks the only SEC team to beat both Vandy and Kentucky. |
8 |
Georgia Bulldogs |
13-16 (5-11) | X | X | 87 | 92 | Of all the cellar dwellers, this is the team nobody wants to play in the tourney. |
9 |
Arkansas Razorbacks |
14-17 (7-9) | X | X | 100 | 116 | Five game slide to end the season, ending any ridiculous bubble speculation. Must win tourney. |
10 |
Alabama Crimson Tide |
16-14 (6-10) | X | X | 66 | 74 | Tough first season for Anthony Grant. Better things to come... |
11 |
Auburn Tigers |
15-16 (6-10) | X | X | 94 | 112 | Chance to ruin Florida's season on Thursday |
12 | LSU Tigers | 11-19 (2-14) | X | X | 187 | 182 | It's almost over...just one more game... |
