LW: 1

This week: 2/5 @ Arkansas, 2/9 Mississippi State

2. Kentucky (15-6, 6-2)

Gave Ole Miss their first home loss of the season, but almost spoiled their week with another loss to Texas A&M.

LW: 5

This week: 2/5 South Carolina, 2/9 Auburn

3. Alabama (14-7, 6-2)

Squeaked out a pair of close wins, but a win is a win at this point.

LW: 4

This week: 2/6 @ Auburn, 2/9 LSU

4. Ole Miss (17-4, 6-2)

The first two losses for Ole Miss were by a combined five points. The combined total for the two losses last week? 27.

LW: 2

This week: 2/6 Mississippi State, 2/9 @ Mizzou

5. Missouri (16-5, 5-3)

The Tigers had a week where they played two teams who are also the Tigers. Laid an egg against LSU, rebounded to pummel Auburn.

LW: 3

This week: 2/7 @ Texas A&M, 2/9 Ole Miss

6. Georgia (10-11, 4-4)

The Dawgs are on a roll with three straight wins. There appears to be a clear top five in the SEC, but Mark Fox’s club is making moves.

LW: 9

This week: 2/6 @ Tennessee, 2/9 Texas A&M

7. Arkansas (13-8, 4-4)

Lots of talent, an excellent head coach, and one of the most inconsistent teams in the conference. That’s Hog Hoops for ya.

LW: 7

This week: 2/5 Florida, 2/9 @ Vanderbilt

8. LSU (12-7, 3-5)

Huge leap from 14 to 8 has a little to do with their upset of Missouri and a lot to do with the mediocrity of the bottom of the conference.

LW: 14

This week: 2/6 Vanderbilt, 2/9 @ Alabama

9. Tennessee (11-9, 3-5)

With players like Stokes and Golden, this should be a much better team.

LW: 8

This week: 2/6 Georgia, 2/10 @ South Carolina

10. Texas A&M (13-8, 3-5)

If they could play Kentucky every game, they might be alright.

LW: 12

This week: 2/7 Mizzou, 2/9 @ Georgia

11. Vanderbilt (8-12, 2-6)

The Commodores have lost three SEC games by four points or less including one and four-point losses last week.

LW: 10

This week: 2/6 @ LSU, 2/9 Arkansas

12. South Carolina (12-9, 2-6)

Outscored by 25 ppg last week, baseball can’t come soon enough for Gamecock fans.

LW: 6

This week: 2/5 @ Kentucky, 2/10 Tennessee

13. Auburn (8-13, 2-6)

Losers of six straight. It’s only going to get worse as three of their next four are against Alabama, Kentucky and Florida.

LW: 11

This week: 2/6 Alabama, 2/9 @ Kentucky

14. Mississippi State (7-13, 2-6)

The Bulldog baseball team is No.5 in the preseason poll?

LW: 13
