I would think it would be more ACC and Big 12 heavy.

Maybe by the end of the season.

[NKYknowitall]

No way 3 SEC teams have a top 10 SOS. Just not possible

[MentschTrachtGottLacht]

Maybe by the end of the season.

If you forecast the rest of the season, the rank looks like this:

 

1. Louisville

2. Vanderbilt

3. Baylor

4. Pittsburgh

5. North Carolina

6. Virginia

7. Nebraska

8. Butler

9. Florida

10. Xavier

Maybe they had tougher out of conference schedules?

 

It'll will definitely even out by conference tournament play.

FL jumps in and KY out. That seems a little odd.

UK only plays one Top 40 RPI team the rest of the way.

It's not really the UK part that is odd. Given the state of the SEC I wouldn't think FL could make the jump inside the top 10.

They are buoyed by having South Carolina and UK (on the road) remaining, as well as at Georgia.

It's not really the UK part that is odd. Given the state of the SEC I wouldn't think FL could make the jump inside the top 10.

Florida also continues to benefit from playing Gonzaga, Florida State, and Duke.

I won't argue UK's OOC... Cal has to do that in order for his team to be tested
