ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has become 1 of the key college basketball people at the network, as he provides fans throughout the year with bracketology. While it isn’t the official bracket, Lunardi has done a great job throughout the years of being close to in line what the NCAA committee ends up doing for March Madness.

He releases an updated bracketology every Monday, and he did the same this evening. The SEC is being looked at as the best conference in the country, and that falls in line with what Lunardi thinks as he has a staggering 13 teams in his bracket.

The No. 1 overall seed is Auburn, as the Tigers have been atop pretty much every national ranking throughout the season. Auburn has only 1 loss on the season, and that was an early season matchup at Cameron Indoor Stadium against Duke.

However, the Tigers aren’t the only SEC team that Lunardi has as a contender for a 1-seed. He also has Alabama and Tennessee as No. 1 seeds, while having Florida as a 2-seed and No. 6 overall ranked team.

Every team that he has in his rankings seems to be pretty comfortable on having a spot in the tournament except for Arkansas. The Razorbacks have had a tough start to the season, but they could be starting to find a groove after picking up a huge win at Kentucky this past weekend.
