Week 11 SEC Basketball Power Rankings: Auburn on top, Alabama falls
The entire SEC was in action during week 10, and only three teams went 2-0. Auburn, LSU, and Texas A&M. That should give you an idea as to how wild the start of conference play has been.
Take Arkansas for instance. The Razorbacks, who got as high as No. 12 in the AP Poll back in week five, have now lost five out of their last six games, giving up 83.8 points per game in those losses. That losing stretch included losses to Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, and Texas A&M. Points being that anyone can beat anyone in the Southeastern Conference.
Here are the week 11 SEC basketball power rankings as we wade deeper into conference action.
