Since league play started, it’s been hard to find the true best team of the SEC.
Coming into the season, LSU seemed to be the consensus best team in the country, but they had some strange losses in the SEC and officially dropped to their lowest ranking in the coaches poll.
Tennessee, who started the season at no. 2 in the preseason coaches poll, has dropped down to no. 20 and fifth in the SEC.
Ole Miss, the defending national champs, only won six games in the SEC this year, placing them at the bottom of the barrel.
On the other end of the spectrum, we watched the rise of South Carolina, who dominated the SEC East, reaching as high as no. 4 in the coaches after starting the season not ranked.
As we come to the end of the season, despite injuries, they have found their groove and somehow found themselves at the top of the SEC.
