Glancing at Auburn's SEC schedule: Projected league record and overall finish

AUBURN -- Bruce Pearl and his coaching staff know what's coming. "...toughest conference schedule in the history of college basketball," Pearl said, as No. 2 Auburn prepares to start conference play against Missouri at home on Saturday. The game tips at 3 pm CT. There are objective statistics that back up what Pearl is saying. The SEC is 47-22 so far in Quad I and II games, already has 21 Top-25 wins, and has a 59-19 record against Power Four teams during non-conference play. It's only the beginning of January, but some projections have the SEC placing as many as 13 teams in the NCAA Tournament. What do the projections say about Auburn's finish and record in the SEC?
