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.
No way Houston should be at the top , and I’m not sold on Tennessee as a top tier team either.
Houston might be a tough matchup for us but there's no way they're the best team in the country. Did I see recently that they have zero Q1 wins?
Illinois is a bit like UK last year, they can score in bunches, they can beat anyone, but I don't think they can string together 6 wins. Tennessee is the opposite, they could hold you to 45 points, but they might only score 46.
Florida may have some residual ranking bias from beating up on their weak non-con schedule. I think they've come back down to earth the last couple weeks. That rating looks a little high.
None of the teams in that "tier" above us would worry me too much, of course we could lose to any of them but on a neutral floor I think UK is favored. Among the non-con teams below us I wouldn't necessarily want to see Saint Johns, partly because they're pretty good and partly because I think the mentor-mentee dynamic between coaches wouldn't necessarily work in our favor. I'd also like to avoid WVU and UConn, although how fun would it be to end their NCAA tournament win streak.
Arizona as the 8th best team is a joke
Yeah this is SHIT! Absolute shit. Not even close to being accurate.

Believe that is showing the current trendlines as well.
Here is their current rankings….not far off imo….perfect: no but about as good as any computer ranking. AZ 15th makes more sense than 8th. https://barttorvik.com/teamsheets.php
