SEC Basketball Power Rankings: Yes, these Razorbacks are No. 1

Your team more deserving than Arkansas? Maybe beat them first, huh?

An important caveat to write at the beginning:

The SEC Basketball Power Rankings are not reflection of who we think is going to be the highest seed in the NCAA Tournament. They are not a reflection of who we think will go deepest into the NCAA Tournament.

They are a reflection of how well teams are playing right now combined with how well they have been playing in the last few weeks.

And to that end, no one is better than Arkansas.

The Razorbacks have won 11 of their last 12 games. Their one loss? At Alabama by a single point. The defeated include LSU in Baton Rouge, Tennessee by 10 in Fayetteville and then-No. 1 Auburn in overtime.

No team in the league can match the stretch the Hogs have had since mid-January.

That said, the reality is all four teams at the top of the SEC could finish the season in the top spot. Auburn and Kentucky still have eyes on potential top-two seeds in the Dance while the Hogs and Tennessee could get into the top four with strong finishes.

With two weeks left, here’s how the SEC looks from this point of view.
