I’ll put my rankings below, but here’s my thoughts on the SEC.  Right now, I think the SEC gets 5 in the tourney – Kentucky, LSU, Auburn, Florida, and Mississippi State.  Three are tied in first place – UK, Auburn, and LSU.  Auburn’s schedule is the easiest.  LSU has UK at home, but some other losable games.  The Cats have Florida and LSU on the road and Auburn at home.  If anyone goes 7-1 down the stretch, they’re the SEC regular season champ.
