The regular season is winding down, with the 14 SEC teams each having three games remaining on their schedule.

While some teams are looking forward to the SEC and NCAA tournaments, others have a lot of work left to do to keep their seasons alive.

Only Auburn, Tennessee and Kentucky likely have their NCAA spots locked up, so there will be plenty of jockeying for position, starting on Saturday. That means there is no shortage of big games.

Here’s a look at the current standings and this week’s biggest games and storylines:

Game of the Week: Florida at Alabama, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN)

The Gators and Crimson Tide are both heading in the wrong direction as the season winds down. The Gators have lost three in a row and the Tide have lost their last two games.

Both teams face big games on Saturday (Alabama vs. Arkansas and Florida vs. Auburn), and if they enter Tuesday’s game with the losing streaks intact, the loser of this game could find itself on the outside looking in heading into the SEC Tournament.

Other games to watch

Alabama vs. Arkansas, Feb. 24 at 6 p.m. ET (SEC Network)

Alabama just lost to Auburn and Arkansas just lost to Kentucky, so both teams need a big win to end their seasons.

Both the Crimson Tide and the Razorbacks are on the NCAA Tournament bubble, with Alabama currently listed as a No. 8 seed and Arkansas as a No. 9 seed in ESPN bracketology expert Joe Lunardi’s rankings. Neither can afford a loss, either, so Saturday night’s game should be fun.

Florida vs. Auburn, Feb. 24 at 8:30 p.m. ET (SEC Network)

The Gators need a win in the worst way, but playing Auburn is no easy task. The Tigers are an impressive 7-2 on the road (the best mark in the SEC) and are coming off a huge win over Alabama.

If the Gators lose, they’ll fall even further in the NCAA tourney picture, where they’re currently a No. 7 seed. If Auburn loses, the Tigers will run the risk of letting Tennessee swoop in for a conference title.

Kentucky vs. Mizzou, Feb. 24 at 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN)

The Tigers won the first meeting of these two schools, beating Kentucky for the first time in school history. However, the two teams are heading in opposite directions at the moment.

While Kentucky has picked up big wins over Arkansas and Alabama, the Tigers have dropped two winnable games to LSU and Ole Miss.

Auburn at Arkansas, Feb. 27 at 9 p.m. ET (SEC Network)

Auburn was down to seven scholarship players, but that didn’t stop the Tigers from mopping the floor with Alabama on Wednesday night.

Beating Arkansas on the road will be a tougher task, especially if Mustapha Heron is still battling the stomach flu. However, the Tigers can likely lock up the SEC title if they win in Fayetteville, so they’ll have some extra motivation.

Key storyline

Will Collin Sexton be available for the postseason?

The Alabama star freshman was named in this week’s FBI report into illegal payments to college players. While many fans no longer get upset about unpaid athletes getting some cash on the side, it is still technically an NCAA violation.

This couldn’t come at a worse time for the Crimson Tide, who need to stop a two-game losing streak this week to keep their March Madness hopes alive. If Sexton is ruled ineligible, it will be devastating for coach Avery Johnson’s young squad.

Of course, it’s worth noting that Kentucky’s Kevin Knox and South Carolina were also named in the reports, so those schools could be facing penalties and suspensions, too, but Sexton is incredibly important to any postseason hopes Alabama has this year.
