And then there was one.
Five short days ago, there were four teams tied for second place in the SEC with a 5-3 conference record: Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida. Three of the four teams - Florida being the outcast - were coming off big wins against conference opponents and seemed like they were on a collision course to battle it out over the next few weeks for a chance to play Friday during the upcoming SEC Tournament.
Well, as with most sports scenarios, just take that entire scene, crumble it up, douse it in something flammable, and watch that mother burn.
