Dogs in a big pile

Georgia picked up a big win at Auburn Saturday, but the Bulldogs will have to get friskier to snap up an NCAA bid as the SEC race continues to get wild and wooly.

Vandy’s upset of No. 1 Florida is just one storyline as the regular season heads for a frantic finish. Tennessee’s up-and-down play (beating UK, getting routed by Carolina) and the struggle for any SEC West team to reach .500 in league play means that several teams will be desperate by the time the SEC tourney hits the Georgia Dome.

Another team badly needing to stay on a roll is Arkansas, which surprised Ole Miss over the weekend and is now 16-10, and 5-7 in the league. As the Rebels found out, the Hogs can be very dangerous, and when they play host to Georgia on Wednesday at Bud Walton Arena, it will feel like a tourney game for both teams.

Can Georgia still pull off an NCAA bid? What does Dennis Felton’s team have to do? Which schools do you think will round out the SEC contingent that gets to the NCAA dance?
