Here's your updated SEC Power Rankings.

🔼 Alabama, State, Missouri, Vanderbilt
🔽Arkansas, Tennessee

Votes made a difference 4-9. David voted Missouri higher, but the spreadsheet does not like them and wouldn't tiebreak them over anyone.

🔼 Auburn, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Missouri
🔽 Arkansas, Tennessee

Incredible basketball game as Kentucky takes down Mississippi St. on the road.

Kentucky won the glass tonight but shot 50% from deep. Robinson goes crazy for 27pts and 7/10 from deep.
January 12, 2025 at 3:38 AM
What a crazy first half! Hubbard and Butler exchange threes late.

Jaxson Robinson with 16pts, Kentucky +5 in 3FGM.

Cam Matthews 10pts, State +1 in turnovers.

We got another half to go!
January 12, 2025 at 3:19 AM
Snow on the ground, cold outside. What a day for basketball! Our Draft of the Day is a top 25 match-up between #6 Kentucky and #14 Mississippi St.

We also have Barnes return to Austin. Oklahoma and Arkansas in a need of a win. Can Missouri make it two SEC wins in a row?
January 11, 2025 at 4:25 PM
Ton of great games today but our Draft of the Day is a top 10 match-up between #1 Tennessee on the road against #8 Florida.

Also on Tap:
- #6 Kentucky faces Georgia
- #2 Auburns takes on Texas

First power rankings after a weekend of basketball! Finally some real movement 😅

🔼 Alabama, Kentucky, State, Ole Miss, Vandy
🔽 Oklahoma, Texas, (some moves down due to other teams moving up)

Auburn & Tennessee remain tied on the spreadsheet. Ignore #1 and #2, both are #1 really.
January 6, 2025 at 3:32 PM
Aggies take game one against Texas. A&M's defense overwhelmed Texas's offense.

Phelps 18pts, 7rebs, +10, heck of a night!
January 5, 2025 at 3:16 AM
You expect anything less in a rivalry game?

We're all tied up. Here's the funny thing...

A&M is shooting better than Texas, Texas is out rebounding A&M.
January 5, 2025 at 2:05 AM
Who's ready for SEC Opening Weekend?

It's the return of a rivalry in our Draft of the Day as the Texas Longhorns face the #13 Texas A&M Aggies!

Other big games on tap, #6 Florida faces #10 Kentucky, #23 Arkansas takes on #1 Tennessee, #12 Oklahoma plays #5 Alabama, and so much more!
January 4, 2025 at 2:39 PM
Not a lot of changes in this week's power rankings.

Ignore the #2 on Auburn, we've got them basically tied.
December 30, 2024 at 6:32 PM
Not a ton of changes, but the SEC keeps 10 teams in the AP Top 25!

Tennessee remains #1 with Auburn at #2. Alabama, Florida, and Kentucky also make the top 10.

Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Mississippi St., Arkansas, and Ole Miss also make the poll.

Georgia and Missouri also get votes.
December 30, 2024 at 6:26 PM
It finally got ugly at the end. Ole Miss falls to Memphis after a really poor offensive performance overall.
December 28, 2024 at 9:22 PM
Ole Miss gets their offense going in the last 8 minutes and they make it a two point game at the break.

Murray 9pts in the first half.
December 28, 2024 at 8:00 PM
It's another round of a Mississippi school invading the FedExForum. Our Draft of the Day, #16 Ole Miss takes on Memphis.

Also on Tap:

- #13 Texas A&M plays Abilene Christian
December 28, 2024 at 3:05 PM
Auburn and Tennessee remain extremely close for #1. All arguments are valid and acknowledged.

Kentucky takes the biggest fall after the Ohio St. game.

Overwhelming majority of the conference remains strong, in place to make the tournament, and look good.
December 23, 2024 at 1:58 PM
Several games today but none are bigger than our Draft of the Day, Braggin' Rights between Missouri and Illinois.

Also on Tap:

- #6 Alabama v. Kent St.
- #14 Oklahoma v. Central Arkansas
- S. Carolina v. Radford
- LSU v. New Orleans
- Georgia v. Charleston Southern
December 22, 2024 at 5:46 PM
There are 5 SEC teams in the top 7. Tennessee, Auburn, Kentucky, Alabama, and Florida!

Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Ole Miss also make the poll.

What's bad is after all the dominance, voters dropped Mississippi St. after a win. Arkansas, Missouri, Georgia, Texas also get votes.
December 16, 2024 at 6:39 PM
The amount of winning this conference is doing is making these rankings next to impossible. Basically if you are #1- #12, you're doing what you're supposed to do and look like a potential top 25 team and should be in the tournament. #13-#16, good but got some questions.
December 16, 2024 at 4:26 PM
Only one game today, so pretty obvious what the Draft of the Day is tonight. #5 Kentucky takes on Colgate.
December 11, 2024 at 4:14 PM
This one was wild!

Arkansas comes back from a 15 point lead, goes up big, weathers the storm against Michigan's comeback attempt. Razorbacks win!

Boogie Fland 20pts, 7ast
DJ Wagner 16pts, 5ast, 3rebs
December 11, 2024 at 4:23 AM
Wild first half.

Michigan goes on a 24-6 run.

Arkansas goes on an 11-3 run and a 13-4 run.

Both teams shooting over 50% for the first half. Big difference Michigan +3 3FGM.
December 11, 2024 at 2:57 AM
Two SEC teams play in the Jimmy V Classic tonight! Our Draft of the Day is the Arkansas Razorbacks v. #14 Michigan Wolverines.

Storyline game as Boogie Fland returns home to New York and Johnell Davis faces his old coach Dusty May.

Also on Tap:
- #1 Tennessee v. Miami
December 10, 2024 at 4:37 PM
It's Week 6 and it's the first Big Board of the Season!

Right now, our method likes either Tennessee or Auburn to win it all in March. Both record perfect scores like Purdue and UConn did last year.
December 9, 2024 at 10:04 PM
Tennessee is the #1 team in the country!

Auburn & Kentucky also make the top 5, Alabama & Florida make the top 10.

Also in the poll, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and Mississippi St.

Missouri, Arkansas, Georgia, and Texas all get votes.
