SEC Tournament 2025: Full Schedule and Complete Men's Bracketology Predictions

The SEC conference has been nothing short of dominant this season.

It might make a case for the greatest single-season conference of all time: 14 of the 16 conference teams have been ranked in the AP Top 25 poll at some point this season. 

When CBS unveiled their top four 1-seeds on Feb. 15, 2025, in their NCAA Tournament Bracket Preview show, three of the four teams came from the SEC (Auburn, Alabama, and Florida). 

The three teams are the favorites to win the conference tournament; however, if you need any proof of how deep this conference is, consider this: Seven other SEC teams have spent some time in the AP Top 16 rankings this season (Kentucky, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas A&M).

And don’t forget John Calipari’s Arkansas team fighting to keep its season alive and a Vanderbilt program that has earned upset wins over both Kentucky, Tennessee, and Texas A&M this season. 

With just over a week remaining in the regular season, seeding remains competitive. 

But more importantly—who will survive the chaos and advance in the end?

Bracket Predictions

There may not be as much at stake as we thought in the Auburn-Alabama season finale, as Auburn can wrap up their second conference title in their last three years before even getting to next Saturday’s clash with Alabama.

However, the likelihood of that happening is anything but certain.

The Tigers face No. 17 Kentucky and No. 12 Texas A&M in their next two games, both of which are on the road in challenging conditions.

Auburn should still secure the top seed, but the rest of the seeding remains open.

While Alabama has a one-game lead over Florida, the Crimson Tide will face No. 5 Tennessee on Saturday, who have caught fire as of late, winning six of their last seven, with victories over teams like Florida, Missouri, and Texas A&M.

Given the Vols’ current momentum, the No. 2 seed may be decided by the winner of next Wednesday’s Florida-Alabama matchup.

Barring something significant, Auburn, Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee should be the four teams with double-byes in the conference tournament.

But who will survive and advance?

Plenty of teams have been dominant all year, though Auburn has done it on a consistent basis with just a sole SEC loss.

Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, and—dare I even mention—Missouri have the firepower, while Tennessee will look to make its own case for one of the four top seeds in the NCAA tournament come Selection Sunday.

Then, there's Texas A&M, who looked like a surefire top-four seed and legit challenger but has now dropped three in a row.

This is Auburn’s tournament to lose, and it’d be surprising if they didn’t emerge victorious when all is said and done.
