Heading in to tonight’s Tennessee-Florida game, the Southeastern Conference standings and the league’s NCAA Tournament picture are even more of a jumbled mess than they were just 24 hours ago, thanks to Ole Miss beating Missouri and Mississppi State beating Texas A&M on Tuesday night.
The longest winning streak by any team in the league right now is a whopping two games.
What’s clear, however, is that Alabama and Florida have a chance tonight to stay one step ahead of the middling pack with big road games against the top two teams in the league.

A win for Alabama (17-10, 8-6) or Florida (17-10, 8-6) tonight would provide an exclamation point on their postseason resume and some separation from the middle of the SEC standings.
