Number One Seed:  Kentucky is the number one seed in the East Division, and is heavily favored to win after finishing conference play at 14-2 .

Bubble Teams: Vanderbilt and Tennessee, both of the East Division, have strong enough records to advance to the Big Dance without winning the conference tourney.

Dark Horse: Florida, which finished fourth in the East Division, does not have any guarantees, but is a strong enough team that it could potentially take down Kentucky and earn the SEC crown against the weaker West Division.
