Seven teams are in the field in ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi’s newest bracket projection.
As expected, Tennessee continues to stay firmly at a No. 1 seed with yet another win this week, while Kentucky is now a 2-seed thanks to its current hot streak.
Meanwhile, LSU has jumped up to a No. 5 seed as Will Wade’s squad is still unbeaten in SEC play.

Auburn is a 6-seed, Ole Miss sits at a 7-seed, and Mississippi State is in solid shape at an 8-seed.
Alabama has also made its way into the bracket due to its big win over Ole Miss, with Avery Johnson’s team sitting at a No. 11 seed as the last team in.
Florida is the first team out in Lunardi’s project and is the only other SEC team in consideration at this point.
