Other than the three-way tie at seventh, not a lot to remark here. It seems that a pecking order has established itself to some degree, although the absence of truly huge games this week may have simply been a calm before the storm that will occur when the top three play each other again.
1. Florida Gators 106 (8 first-place votes)
2. Vanderbilt Commodores 93
3. Alabama Crimson Tide 90
4. Kentucky Wildcats 87 (1 first-place vote)
5. Georgia Bulldogs 74
6. Tennessee Volunteers 63
7 (t). Arkansas Razorbacks 44
7 (t). Mississippi Rebels 44
7 (t). Mississippi St. Bulldogs 44
10. South Carolina Gamecocks 30
11. LSU Tigers 15
12. Auburn Tigers 12
See what the voters had to say after the jump.

Can't beat anybody better than them.--A Sea of Blue
Auburn
After showing some signs of improvement, Auburn returns to the conference dustbin.--Alabama Basketball Blog
Florida
Snuck past LSU in Baton Rouge without Parsons. Will Parsons play this week? Next game - Thursday vs. Georgia. Then Saturday at Kentucky.--Anchor of Gold
Georgia
Huge win in Knoxville gives UGA a puncher's chance to take 2nd in the East; their win on Rocky Top might be enough to get guarantee an invite to the Dance.--Vanderbilt Sports Line
Kentucky
May not win the conference, but they probably have the highest ceiling of any conference team going into the postseason.--Alabama Basketball Blog
LSU
Thank God for Auburn. And Abita Turbo Dog. Otherwise this shenanigan of a season would be unbearable. Weaux is me!--Dawg Sports
Mississippi St.
This team is so talented yet so hopelessly lost.--A Sea of Blue
Ole Miss
Followed a resounding victory over Auburn with the above-mentioned double digit loss to Mississippi State. This kind of inconsistency could drive a coach to drink.--Dawg Sports

KenPom foretells of only "L's" in their future. Will they prove him wrong? Games vs. Mississippi and at Georgia this week.--Anchor of Gold
Tennessee
1-3 since Pearl's return. Just saying...--Alabama Basketball Blog

Rising beast in the East as they have won 5 straight.--Leftover Hot Dog
