As much as the SEC is being dominated by one team, it now looks like the conference will get six teams into the NCAA Tournament. Before the 2014-2015 campaign began, many expected just two or three teams to join Kentucky in the big dance. And one of those was supposed to be Florida, but they have no shot at an at-large bid. Arkansas are the clear #2 team in the conference right now following their thrilling 71-70 win over Ole Miss on Saturday. The Rebels are still looking good despite that home stumble, but cannot afford to lose any more home games. Texas A&M, LSU and Georgia are in at this point as well and we project them to stay that way too.
