The 2018 SEC Tournament is set.

The Auburn Tigers, winners of the regular-season crown, will be the No. 1 overall seed in next week’s tournament, which takes place in St. Louis, Missouri. They won’t play until Friday afternoon.

The Tennessee Volunteers will be the No. 2 seed and also play Friday evening. Right behind them are the Florida Gators as the No. 3 seed following their convincing win over the Kentucky Wildcats.

Speaking of, the Cats will be the No. 4 seed and begin play on Friday. They were able to clinch the No. 4 seed thanks to the Arkansas Razorbacks losing to the Missouri Tigers. Had Arkansas won, they would have been the No. 4 seed, but the loss dropped them down to the No. 6 seed.

The LSU Tigers (7), Texas A&M Aggies (8, Alabama Crimson Tide (9) and Mississippi State Bulldogs (10) round out the top eight seeds that get single-byes.

Here is how the final SEC standings ended up following Saturday’s results:

1. Auburn (13-5 in SEC)

2. Tennessee (13-5)

3. Florida (11-7)

4. Kentucky (10-8)

5. Missouri (10-8)

6. Arkansas (10-8)

7. Mississippi State (9-9)

8. Texas A&M (9-9)

9. Alabama (8-10)

10. LSU (8-10)

11. South Carolina (7-11)

12. Georgia (7-11)

13. Vanderbilt (6-12)

14. Ole Miss (5-13)
