SEC Update

Here are the standings after 4 games, with Ken Pomeroy's rankings next to each team:

1.  Kentucky:  4-0
25.  Florida:  3-1
86.  Tennessee:  3-1
29.  Georgia:  2-2
37.  Mississippi:  2-2
41.  Arkansas:  2-2
44.  Alabama:  2-2
59.  Louisiana St:  2-2
77.  Texas A & M:  2-2
133.  Auburn:  2-2
40.  S. Carolina:  1-3
65.  Vanderbilt:  1-3
165.  Missouri:  1-3
220.  Mississippi St:  1-3

Two observations:

1.  There is only one SEC team in the top 20, but there are seven SEC teams in the top 50.  Given that 64 teams make the NCAA Tournament, it's clear that the Cats will play a fair number of games against Tournament-quality competition.

2.  On Saturday, Georgia beat Florida, thus ending the Gators' 24-game winning streak against SEC opponents.  As a result, the Cats are alone in first place for the first time since the 2012 season.
