SEC Basketball standings and remaining games (log jams aplenty)

#1 (11-2 in SEC play)
**Florida**
@ Ole Miss
@ Texas
vs Arkansas (toughest game remaining)
vs Mississippi State
@ Kentucky

Synopsis: Florida has a buffer of 2 games. They can't get complacent, but their remaining schedule is very favorable. Hard to see them falling out of the top spot.

#2 (3-way tie - 9-4 in SEC Play)
**Alabama**
@ LSU
vs Mississippi State
@ Tennessee
@ Georgia
vs Auburn

**Arkansas**
vs Missouri
vs Texas A&M
@ Florida
vs Texas
@ Missouri

**Tennessee**
@ Vanderbilt
@ Missouri
vs Alabama
@ South Carolina
vs Vanderbilt

Synopsis: Tennessee has the hardest remaining schedule (3 games against ranked opponents, one on the road). Tennessee and Alabama play one game against each other, the only remaining game between teams tied for #2. The Vols could beat Alabama but still fall behind if Vandy sweeps them. Alabama has the most favorable schedule; Arkansas ' remaining games are all against teams that have 8-5 or better records in conference play. Both have ranked opponents on the road.


#3 (5-way tie - 8-5 in SEC Play)
**Vanderbilt**
vs Tennessee
vs Georgia
@ Kentucky
@ Ole Miss
@ Tennessee

**Missouri**
@ Arkansas
vs Tennessee
@ Mississippi State
@ Oklahoma
vs Arkansas

**Texas A&M**
@ Oklahoma
@ Arkansas
vs Texas
vs Kentucky
@ LSU

**Texas**
@ Georgia
vs Florida
@ Texas A&M
@ Arkansas
vs Oklahoma


**Kentucky**
@ Auburn
@ South Carolina
vs Vanderbilt
@ Texas A&M
vs Florida

Synopsis: Missouri got a massively needed win, but they still have a brutal remaining schedule. Vandy, despite their loss, is probably the better remaining team. A&M probably has the most favorable schedule, presuming they can navigate it.

Overall: There are 8 teams within 1 game of each other vying for the 3 remaining byes. I don't see Florida, short of a massive collapse, losing enough games to drop below 4 teams. Of the 3 teams with 9-4 records, it's hard to see Tennessee coming out of that schedule and still in the top 4; if they do, they'll definitely have their battle scars from down the stretch.
