Tennessee defeats Auburn and suddenly their SEC record matches Kentucky's. Could be a big night for the Cats standing with betting favorite Texas A&M currently tied with South Carolina late and Ole Miss leading Alabama at the half.

Best hope for a top seed might now be seeing Tennessee win out (save for Kentucky's game in Knoxville), which would give Alabama and South Carolina at least one more loss. In that scenario, it's possible that Tennessee goes in as the #1 and Kentucky at the #2. I'm assuming that Kentucky would own the tiebreaker over Alabama and Auburn due to head-to-head victories.

Florida hung on against Missouri and could still have control of their own destiny with remaining games against South Carolina and Alabama.

Here's to hoping Ole Miss and Texas A&M can help us out.
