SEC

The SEC, where the bubble lives.  I feel like every year it’s the same thing in the SEC; 1 dominate team, 1 semi-decent team, and an bunch of bubble teams that will just slide in and lose in the first round.  Florida is the heavyweight, looking like the favorite to cut down the nets in April.  Kentucky is playing the role of the semi-decent team, destined to be a “sleeper” around the 6 seed range that loses in the 1^st round.  The rest, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and to a small extent, Georgia make up the bubble.  Georgia probably needs the auto-bid while Missouri needs two wins minimum.  Arkansas and Tennessee should be good with 1 win.  Regardless, I don’t see how Florida loses again before the Final Four.
