We have officially reached the halfway point of the SEC season, with every single team having played exactly nine conference games. And it’s safe to say that while some things have gone as planned, quite a few haven’t. Mainly, a league that was supposed to be “Kentucky, Florida and everyone else” has been anything but that this season.
Still, with the conference season halfway done, it does appear as though three teams have emerged with real SEC title hopes, LSU, Kentucky and Auburn. And an already tight race got even tighter on Wednesday, when LSU lost to last place Vanderbilt, meaning that those top three teams are separated by just one game in the loss column.
