Entering this week, perhaps the most interesting race in a Power 5 conference is from the SEC, where LSU, Tennessee and Kentucky are each tied for first at 12-2. The Tigers have beaten both the Volunteers and Wildcats in their lone meetings of the regular season and thus would win any tiebreaker.

Tennessee slipped from No. 5 to No. 7 in the new AP poll on Monday after losing 82-80 in overtime at LSU last Saturday to lose sole possession of first. The Vols visit a good Ole Miss team on Wednesday night, with the Rebels looking to finish fourth in the conference and earn that last double-bye for the SEC Tournament.

It’s the only scheduled meeting between the schools, and UT has to avoid looking past Ole Miss (2-2 against ranked teams this season) and to this Saturday’s showdown against Kentucky. Tennessee is 6-2 ATS in its past eight against Ole Miss and is favored by 4.5 points.
