We're at the halfway point of conference play with five weekends remaining prior to the SEC Tournament. Here's a numbers breakdown to where each team stands in the standings and the RPI and what's left on the docket for each team.

Current standings:

Vanderbilt 11-4
Missouri 10-5
Florida 9-6
South Carolina 6-9
Georgia 6-9
Kentucky 5-9-1
Tennessee 5-10

TAMU 11-3-1
LSU 10-5
Arkansas 7-8
Ole Miss 7-8
MSU 6-9
Alabama 6-9
Auburn 5-10

Now here's the RPI for each team at this point

TAMU 4
Florida 5
LSU 14
Vanderbilt 20
Auburn 23
Mizzou 24
Ole Miss 26
Alabama 34
Kentucky 35
Tennessee 50
South Carolina 57
Arkansas 79
Georgia 90
MSU 91

These are the RPIs of each team's opponents and the sum of the five RPI numbers left on each team's schedule. The number on the line below each team is the total SEC wins of its five remaining opponents. For example: Ole Miss has Auburn, Alabama, Mizzou, MSU and TAMU left. Those five teams have combined for 38 SEC wins so far. South Carolina probably has the most difficult schedule left due to its spot in both metrics. Kentucky is tough, too. Florida has the easiest. LSU is interesting because the RPI metric has the schedule relatively easy, but there are 39 wins between those five teams.
