Auburn's path to a second SEC regular-season title in three years is getting narrower by the day.

The Tigers are on a two-game skid after a 65-55 loss at Georgia on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Kentucky has taken firm control at the top of the conference, as the Wildcats haven't lost since Auburn beat them a few weeks ago.

Each Thursday until the conclusion of the SEC regular season, AuburnSports.com will take a glance at what the SEC Tournament bracket would look like if the season ended that day.

With the midweek games over, Auburn (22-4, 9-4 SEC) will return home for two straight games against Tennessee on Saturday and Ole Miss on Tuesday..

Here's how the SEC bracket would look if the five-day tournament began today.
