Arkansas is now one of nine SEC teams that are in the NCAA Tournament conversation in the newest bracket projection from ESPN’s Joe Lunardi.

While the Razorbacks are currently projected outside of the field, they have moved into the Next Four Out line after three straight SEC wins.

As for the other teams around the conference, Tennessee and Kentucky lead the way from a seed standpoint while Alabama and Florida have moved from the play-in games to receiving two of the last four byes.

Here’s where the eight included teams stand in the bracket:

  • No. 1 Tennessee
  • No. 2 Kentucky
  • No. 5 LSU
  • No. 7 Auburn
  • No. 7 Mississippi State
  • No. 8 Ole Miss
  • No. 11 Alabama
  • No. 11 Florida

There are plenty of big games on tap this weekend around the league, with teams hoping to another quality win to their resumes.
