No. 1 Auburn Faces No. 6 Tennessee In Loaded Week For Sec In Ap Top 25

The Southeastern Conference can make a strong argument as the best league in college basketball with eight ranked teams and five in the top 10.

The bevy of AP Top 25 teams leads to ranked SEC teams playing each other pretty much every week. This week is no different, with four games between ranked SEC teams, headlined by No. 6 Tennessee at top-ranked Auburn on Saturday.

The Tigers moved into to the No. 1 spot for the second time in program history a week ago and remained there after a chaotic week in which 19 AP Top 25 teams lost at least once.

Auburn 17-1, 8-0 SEC has been on a roll since losing at No. 2 Duke on Dec. 4, winning eight straight games. The Tigers lost starting big man Johni Broome, a frontrunner for national player of the year, to an ankle injury against South Carolina on Jan. 11, but it hasn't slowed them down yet.

Auburn beat two ranked teams without Broome last week, knocking off No. 14 Mississippi State and then-No. 23 Georgia to earn unanimous No. 1 in Monday's poll .
