The Auburn Tigers secured their 25th win of the season with a 12-point victory over Georgia, maintaining their No. 1 AP Poll ranking for a school-record seventh straight week.
The Alabama Crimson Tide on the other hand drop out of the top-five after a 1-1 week. Earning a bounce back victory over the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday evening was not enough to erase the loss to the Missouri Tigers on the road last Wednesday and move the Tide down two spots.
There are still eight SEC teams ranked with three in the top-five including the Florida Gators at No. 3 and Tennessee Volunteers at No. 5.

Behind Alabama, the Texas A&M Aggies dropped out of the top-ten to No. 12 while Missouri rose just one spot to No. 14 following a loss over the weekend to Arkansas.
The Kentucky Wildcats stayed at No. 17 while Mississippi State dropped three spots down to No. 24 and the Ole Miss Rebels dropped out of the rankings entirely.
Another huge week of SEC hoops is upon us as this historic and unprecedented season for the best conference in the sport continues.
