Joe Lunardi updated his Bracketology rankings ahead of Saturday’s slate of college basketball games. as of Saturday morning, 7 SEC teams remain in the field, though a few could fall out with losses.
Kentucky and Texas A&M are those teams, with Florida currently sitting in the “Next Four Out” section, 8 places away from the field of 68. Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Auburn, Missouri, Texas A&M and Kentucky are all projected to be in the field.
All 3 on the bubble are in danger of bid-stealer situations were the season to end today. This is when a team that would not have made the field wins their conference championship, earning an automatic qualification. For example, the Aggies were almost bid stealers last season (they should have made it anyway), but fell to Tennessee in the SEC Tournament Championship.
According to Lunardi, a Kentucky loss to Georgia Saturday would mean the preseason top 5 Wildcats would be out of the field.
Below is where each team is seeded as of Feb. 11:
- Alabama – No. 1 Seed
- Tennessee – No. 2 Seed
- Arkansas – No. 8 Seed
- Auburn – No. 9 Seed
- Missouri – No. 10 Seed
- Texas A&M – No. 11 Seed
- Kentucky – No. 11 Seed
- Florida – Next Four Out
