I think I have this accurate, but let me know if I've made a mistake. Anyway, heading into the final weekend of SEC play, this is how the bracket in Hoover would look.
1. Tennessee (clinched)
2. Texas A&M
3. Arkansas
4. Auburn
T5. Vanderbilt
T5. LSU
7. Georgia
T8. Ole Miss
T8. Florida
10. South Carolina
11. Alabama
12. Kentucky
---------------------------------------------
13. Mississippi State
14. Missouri
A few notes:
Here's the schedule for the final weekend of the regular season...all games scheduled for Thursday-Friday-Saturday:
Current RPIs for each of the SEC teams:
1. Tennessee

4. Auburn
7. Georgia
15. Florida
20. Texas A&M
29. Arkansas
37. LSU
38. Ole Miss
53. Alabama
60. Kentucky
63. Missouri
69. South Carolina
105. Mississippi State
And finally, the current ELO ratings for each SEC team. I'll be honest...I don't know what the ELO is, but some seem to think it's important. Plus, the Ags look really, really good in this rating system.

A few notes:
- Vandy, LSU, and Georgia are tied with 14-13 records. However, UGA lost the series to both LSU and Vandy, so I have them slotted behind the other two.
- LSU plays at Vanderbilt this weekend, so there is a lot on the line in Nashville.
- Ole Miss and Florida did not play this year, so I'm not sure how to break that tie for 8th.
- The top 4 seeds get a bye to the double-elimination round.
- Our Aggies have clinched no worse than the 4th seed. UGA, Vandy, and LSU could each get to 17 wins to tie us, but we own the tiebreaker over all 3 of those teams. No one else can catch us in the standings. Long story short, A&M will either be seeded 2, 3, or 4 in Hoover.
