Chris Lee, Blake Lovell, and Max Barr discuss and rank all 16 SEC basketball teams after Week 5 of the 2024-25 season. Topics include:

Alabama without Latrell Wrightsell or Chris Youngblood, went into Chapel Hill and barely trailed. The Tide have shown flashes of their ceiling, but we are still waiting to see what things will look like with Chris Youngblood in the mix.

Arkansas can't catch a break from the injury bug, as now Big Z is dealing with an ankle injury. The Razorbacks won both matchups this past week but didn't look too smooth doing it. The Razorbacks need to get healthy in December.

Auburn dropped their first of the year at Cameron Indoor, zero shame in that result. The Tigers remain KenPom's No. 1 overall team by a good margin.

Florida played once this past week, making quick work of a mediocre Virginia squad. The Gators have been absolutely dominate so far, but their toughest two games of the year are next up.

Kentucky had a competitive week with Clemson & Gonzaga but they did what this team does, fight. The OT win over the Zags could be a 'seedline-bump' game come March.

LSU made quick work of their three-game home stretch, but the bigger story is the unfortunate loss of Jalen Reed.

Ole Miss had one of the more impressive weeks in the SEC, destroying Louisville on the road who just gave Duke all they can handle.

Mississippi State crushed a solid Pitt team on Wednesday to skyrocket up analytical rankings, but then a gross 7 point win over the Prairie View Panthers dropped the Bulldogs right back where they started the week.

Oklahoma is a surprise to be one of the last undefeated teams remaining. Just one matchup upcoming for the Sooners on Saturday - a neutral court in what should be a chippy one vs. Oklahoma State.

South Carolina had a great week winning both matchups. Collin Murray-Boyles now has 3 double-doubles on the year, with two games ending on 9 rebounds.

Tennessee only played once again, this time crushing a reeling Syracuse squad. The Vols finally play two game in a week here with a neutral against Miami and then the big one, the road trip to face Illinois.

Texas A&M has quietly rattled off 4 in a row over P5 teams, upsetting Texas Tech as a slight underdog pushed the Aggies back into KenPom's Top 25.

Vanderbilt had a huge resume building week on the road winning at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg and TCU in Fort Worth..
