The Top Tier teams are playing bottom (or middle) feeders this weekend. I would predict some sweeps by the contenders, except Florida has already lost the opener to Kentucky. The closest pair-up is #11 @ 12T Auburn.

It could easily require VU to get at least one sweep and win the other two series to finish first in the East. Hopeful, but not optimistic based on recent performances.
