We'll update this after every conference game from here on out.
The SEC tournament has expanded to 10 teams this year, giving two more teams a chance to compete in Hoover (and polish their resumes for the NCAA Regionals). A look at where each team would fall if the season ended today.
Kentucky took a series 2-1 from LSU, giving the Wildcats the inside track to the regular-season championship and the No. 1 seed. Today, Kentucky would be No. 1 and LSU would be No. 2, but the Tigers are only a game behind the Wildcats.
Florida and South Carolina are each a game behind LSU. Florida beat the Gamecocks in a series, so the Gators would be No. 3 and USC No. 4
Arkansas and Ole Miss are tied for the fifth seed, but Ole Miss just finished a 2-1 series victory over the Razorbacks. The Rebels would be fifth and the Hogs sixth.
Georgia and Mississippi State are tied for the seventh seed. The two teams do not play each other this year, so if the tie holds through the end of the regular season, the seed would go to the non-divisional opponent tiebreaker (record against the No. 1 seed). Right now, Mississippi State would win the tiebreaker, due to not playing Kentucky (May 17-19). Georgia lost its series 2-1 to the Wildcats.
Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Auburn are tied for the ninth spot with 7-11 records. Vanderbilt and Tennessee have not played each other yet, and neither have Auburn and Tennessee. Today, Vanderbilt would win the No. 9 seed by virtue of its series win over Auburn, and Auburn would be 10th. Tennessee would join Alabama on the stay-at-home list.
SEEDS
1. Kentucky
2. LSU
3. Florida
4. South Carolina
5. Ole Miss
6. Arkansas
7. Mississippi State
8. Georgia
9. Vanderbilt
10. Auburn
