Current SEC basketball standings: Can anyone catch Tennessee?
Who is the SEC’s second-best team?
Just two weeks into SEC play, we know who the best team is: Tennessee. The Vols appear to be in a league of their own after the 15-1 (4-0) scorching start that has them ranked No. 3 in the country. Tennessee has dominated the competition, while the rest of the SEC could be described as a mess.
The Vols start, however, has been quite historic.

Tennessee is good and probably playing the best basketball right now in the country but their SEC schedule so far has been weak.. A combined 3-12 in the league for their opponents.
Tennessee SOS 24th and Auburn is 26th our RPI is 4th Auburn is….14th. Saw where some Vandy Fan was spouting about our schedule…please tell me how VA, or Meechigan is any better?! His excuse…Zags and Kansas were formerly ranked #1 & 2 at the beginning of the season…they are both still ranked in the top 7 (#5 – #7) halfway through the season. Regardless, it is all about where you end up in March!
Not disputing the overall schedule just who they have played in SEC so far..
You failed to mention the scoring related to these games as well….
Oh yeah. Blowouts for sure but again not against any of the top teams in the SEC
It’s still way early. Hard to deny this TN team is special and very very good. Are they great, worthy of a #1 ranking. Maybe. Probably but they just need to focus on the next game, not the rankings, which so far is what they have done. A very mature team. TN, meechigan, Va… will all lose a game or two so in all likelihood the #1 ranking will get passed around some for the rest of the season.
LSU hosts SC tomorrow. That will be for second in the standings, but it’s too early to know who the second best team in the conference is. Auburn and Kentucky are expected to be right up there when all is said and done. Good start for my Tigers in conference play and the schedule should allow them to compile an even better record over the next week or so. Hopefully they stay focused. Tennessee is the obvious king of the hill for now.
I agree with Fuzzy, it’s waaaaaay to soon to start spouting UT as THE best ever.
Too many good teams in the SEC to get thru unscathed. Hopeful though 8-)
Auburn was clearly the best team this time last year before injuries and depth took their toll. Not saying that will happen to the Vols, but it’s too early to crown a champ. Hopefully, Auburn will hit their stride and UK always blooms late.
Other than UK, no one else cares. But hey, it’s good to see Tennessee winning somewhere, I guess.
Lots of people care. If your program didn’t suck, you would too. There is more than one sport out there.
Nailed the troll, ugarmy, marine. He is a fan of whatever UGA sport is doing well. If his football team stunk and bball was good he wouldn’t care about football. He and legends are two of the worst trolls on SDS.
You cared enough to click on the article and comment though
I am most definitely NOT from UK. It would be nice if they covered the ladies a little, too.
