SEC Basketball Showdowns Impact Rankings and Prospects

This weekend's college basketball schedule features multiple high-profile games within the SEC that could significantly impact team rankings and NCAA tournament projections. Auburn and Ole Miss, both undefeated in SEC play, are set to face each other soon, with Auburn also scheduled to play Georgia. Tennessee, previously ranked No. 1, has slipped to No. 6 after a significant loss to Florida but rebounded with a win over Georgia. The Tennessee women's team also demonstrated strong performances, defeating Arkansas and preparing for a matchup against Mississippi State. These games are critical for teams like Vanderbilt, which faces Tennessee in a rivalry match that could boost their tournament prospects.
