The Alabama basketball team leads the SEC with three weeks left in conference play in a chaotic season.
The Crimson Tide maintained the lead after defeating Florida in OT on Wednesday.
Tennessee has a two-game lead for a double-bye with five games remaining, and the remaining two double-byes are up for grabs.
Kentucky is in danger of falling into Thursday's action, a rarity in the Big Blue Nation. Wednesday's crushing loss against LSU dropped the Wildcats to fifth place in the SEC standings. With a win, coach John Calipari's team would be tied for third place with a home game against the Crimson Tide on Saturday.
There will be a lot of shuffling in the standings between now and mid-March, but here's what the SEC Tournament format would look like if it started today.
