CBB Tier Visualization

Thought this was a good visualization of the tiers of teams right now. We seem to be at top of the pile after the first three tiers.

Yea, and we are like 3-1 against the top 3 tiers. We are better than several teams in those top 3 tiers. But people need to remember that the schedule for SEC teams right now is a bit unbalanced. Now it will get way more balanced by the end of the season, but for now it isn't. For instance, we have not played a single game against the bottom 5 teams in the SEC, only 2 games against a team 0.500 or worse in conference. Tennessee has played 5 such games, Alabama has played 3, Florida 3, Auburn 4, Ole Miss 4. And many of those games for other teams included games against the bottom 5 teams. As schedules even out, the cream will rise to the top. Alabama and Auburn are better right now in the SEC, the rest just have a better record, and we still have 2 games to play against those 2, so we likely still control our own destiny.
