The Volunteers slid down a bit in the All for Tennessee official men’s basketball SEC Power Rankings for the week of Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2017.
Going into this past week, everything seemed like it would be normal for our men’s basketball SEC Power Rankings this week.
Then, chaos hit.
The lower ranked team in our standings won four of the games just over the weekend. That followed a series of midweek games where two different lower ranked teams won games.
Now, we have a complete cluster of teams with the exception of a clear-cut top three. Nobody else is even a lock for the NCAA Tournament, and some teams that deserve to drop significantly didn’t simply because other teams didn’t do enough to rise.
So that is where we are at with four weeks left to go of SEC basketball.
There are 12 teams in the conference that believe they have a legitimate shot at the NCAA Tournament, and 11 of them are already in the Top 100 of the RPI.
If that’s not enough, nine of them are in the Top 68, so there are clear-cut bubble teams right now with a lot to play for. And anything can happen with them over the next four weeks.
But for right now, we have no clear way to differentiate them, so here’s a look at the ridiculous parity in the conference for now.
These are the All for Tennessee men’s basketball SEC Power Rankings for the week of Feb. 7.
