The Tennessee Volunteers are one step closer to ending the season with a perfect home record. In what can only be described as a deafening environment in Knoxville on Saturday, No. 17 Tennessee defeated No. 3 Auburn by a score of 67 to 62.
Additionally, on Saturday, No. 18 Arkansas beat No. 6 Kentucky. By the end of the day, the third and fourth-ranked teams from the SEC took down the first and second-ranked ranked teams to make the standings that much more interesting.
As things stand on Sunday morning, Tennessee is still sitting in fourth place in the conference standings.
Top Five SEC Standings
- No. 3 Auburn (25-4, 13-3 SEC)
- No. 18 Arkansas (23-6, 12-4 SEC)
- No. 6 Kentucky (23-6, 12-4 SEC)
- No. 17 Tennessee (21-7, 12-4 SEC)
- No. 24 Alabama (19-10, 9-7 SEC)

Tennessee puts away Auburn in Knoxville. Maybe the Tigers should ditch the whole dancing on the other team’s logo bit. You gotta respect the game before you win the game.

FINAL: Tennessee 67, Auburn 62.
Rick Barnes probably deserves some SEC Coach of the Year consideration: Not only did the Vols turn around their season, it happened because Barnes COMPLETELY changed how they play.
Went smaller, played faster
Vols are RED HOT heading into March

I think Auburn and Kentucky are still the two-best teams in the SEC, but Arkansas and Tennessee have proved the gap is much smaller than most think over the last few weeks.

Power ranking the SEC’s top five teams right now is an effort in futility.
1. Auburn
2. Arkansas
3. Tennessee
4. Kentucky
5. AlabamaI guess?

The atmospheres at Arkansas, Auburn and Tennessee this year are incredible. Three of the best in the country. The SEC is way more than just a "football conference."
