AUBURN — With four games left in the regular season, No. 1 Auburn can taste at least a share of a regular season title. Hopefully, it’s an outright championship.

It would be the third regular season conference crown for Bruce Pearl and Co. in the last eight seasons, and fifth overall championship, counting two tournament titles. There’s plenty on the line.

Auburn sits at 25-2 overall and 13-1 in league play. It’s the Tigers’ best 14-game start to SEC play since starting 13-1 in the championship season of 1998-99. The most SEC wins in program history is 15, set by the 2021-22 team. The second-most league wins was 14, set by the 98-99 team.

BRIEF THOUGHTS AND GRADES: NO. 1 AUBURN OVER GEORGIA

But in the most competitive season SEC basketball has ever seen, the competition is hot on Auburn’s heels, namely Florida and Alabama. Both the Gators and Tide sit two games back of the Tigers.

What’s left for a championship:

Auburn: Ole Miss, at Kentucky, at Texas A&M, Alabama
Florida: at Georgia, Texas A&M, at Alabama, Ole Miss
Alabama: Miss. State, at Tennessee, Florida, at Auburn

If the SEC Tournament started today, here’s what the bracket would look like…
