The SEC now is 1-8 vs. the Power 6 after Vanderbilt's overtime loss @ Butler Tuesday night. No head-to-head games on the docket tonight, but things start getting interesting Thursday when the plethora of Thanksgiving-time tournaments kick off with the Puerto Rico Tip-Off, Charleston Classic, and 2K Sports Classic.
We will continue to post this daily Monday-Friday (and when possible on weekends) leading up to our next Road to Selection Sunday column, which will appear sometime shortly after Thanksgiving weekend. At that point we'll take a quick glance at some of the key exempt tournament results, which teams early on have done good work building an at-large resume, and who's been a disappointment. And maybe, for the first time, we'll include some RPI data, even though it's way too early for the numbers to mean anything.
