The 2022-23 SEC season is now a few weeks in and a number of teams have made statements early on in the year. As the conference continues to pile on the wins, the depth of the SEC has been on display early on with a number of teams sporting near-spotless records. The early-season competition should make for an exciting finish down the stretch and heading into this year’s conference tournament.

Here are the latest standings in the SEC ahead of the 2023 SEC Tournament, scheduled to be held at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN from March 8-12.
