Yeah, that's how it stands currently. This is KenPom's projection of everybody's remaining schedule.

Notice there are 18 game records even though teams have only played 15 games.

Does he have Arkansas beating Auburn and losing both road games at Bama, at Missouri to get to 9-9?

Final three games against teams all ahead in standings.

Has 38% chance of beating Bama, 41% Auburn, 36% Mizzou.

Projected to go 1-2 though.

I was wondering where the win was coming from. Pearl won in BWA the last time Auburn visited.

A few thoughts on one of the strangest seasons in recent memory:

1. It still amazes me that we've gone from preseason 13th in the conference to a season like this.

2. It also amazes me that: (a) Arkansas completely fell apart after the game we played at BWA. (b) TAMU similarly fell apart recently. I expected both to be a lot more consistent and to finish the season out higher.

3. BAMA and UF have talent but are inconsistent as hell.

4. Kentucky. I don't even know what to say here. You haven't fallen completely apart but for a program such as yours that is a basketball factory packed with 5*s you might as well be winless.

Oooo. I see Missouri is losing their first game. Can't wait to see the melt.

Shows how stacked the sec is when Texas am is the 10 seed.

Consistency seems to be the watchword for a lot of SEC teams this season. Lots of talented teams and players but also trouble keeping play more constant.

Also says a lot about the Ags that they can’t beat out LSU

Not happening. Missouri will lose 2 or maybe even 3 more games.

Seems the SEC has a lot of teams that are talented but can't find ways to win on the road.

If you would have told me preseason that LSU would sweep Arkansas and A&M and enter the final week with an outside shot at the NCAA tournament bubble I'd have called you crazy.

Finishing middle of the pack in a deep year for the conference when we were picked to finish last.

That would be awesome for AU, unless UF reverts to playing well again.

Worst possible scenario for Alabama as we'd get a 1st game matchup against a team that could actually tank our tourney hopes.

So, I expect this bracket to go to the end and the Dores to end us.

Got to give AU credit here. While the sec is better overall, it’s basically AU and maybe KY now being really good, then the majority of the rest of us are ‘pretty good’s who can suck on any given night.
