In the next month or so, we should get the SEC vs ACC Challenge matchups announced. Look for the above seven top SEC teams to likely get matched up with Duke, Louisville, North Carolina, NC State, and/or Virginia in some order.

We are probably 8-12 weeks away from the early season tournament schedules/formats being announced…. Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, and Texas A&M will all be playing in the Las Vegas Players Era Tournament, where in total 13 of the above Top 28 teams along with 7 others will all be taking part.
