of the 7 teams you listed here's the number of times they play each other -

ALA - 6/10 games
USC - 5/10
TEN - 5/10
KEN - 5/10
AUB - 6-10
OLE - 5-10
FLA - 4-10 (2 v ALA)

Florida has the most favorable schedule remaining - it also includes 2 v Vandy and 1 v MIZ -

Honestly not sure how we win it after how sloppy we’ve played the past couple of weeks. We have a bunch of sneaky tough games left that would be easy to drop.

If we take care of it at home I could see it.

I can remember when there weren't more than two or three tournament-worthy teams in the SEC. In the grand scheme of things, Kentucky was the only school that took basketball seriously for a long time, and they still benefit from that.

I expect 8 or 9 teams to get bids this year, and it should be a no-brainer.

Auburn's next 3 games probably their most crucial -

at Ole Miss
Alabama
at Florida

navigate those and the AU gets Carolina & Kentucky home back-to-back -

tigers play UGA twice and Missouri once in the final 5 games - a road game at UTK and home v MSU also included -

UF's schedule was definitely front loaded and fared pretty well. A lot of opportunity coming up to make some moves.

I still think SC is due a rough patch, where we drop a few games we shouldnt. I just want 10 SEC wins. I think that gets us in

So, I'll go ahead and say it's between Alabama and South Carolina.



There's at least 4 other teams more likely than SC

I'd lean towards Auburn right now too, but that Mississippi State loss wasn't pretty. They've played two road games against SEC teams with a pulse, lost them both, and 4 of their 5 remaining road games are against decent or good teams. Tennessee's got 6 road games left, but three of them are Arky, Mizzou, and aTm.

Auburn can't have another Mississippi collapse. If they do, the rest of the schedule doesn't bode well for them.

handling the home games is paramount - 3 of the 5 remaining home games are Saturday early/mid afternoon tips which will help fill up CLA to 18K - the two midweeks probably 15K -

Ole Miss is USC's lone remaining home/away opponent we have yet to face at least once - also it might be a blessing we don't see UF in that lone matchup this year until March 2 -

hopefully Carolina is still a little angry about its 15 missed FT that cost USC a home win vs UGA two weeks ago when we play in Athens this weekend -
