Based on the last couple weeks with teams trending up or down I have for my rankings and tiers: (I think 5 bids will be in the cards for SEC)
Tier 1 1. Florida - trending up (NCAA) 2. Kentucky - trending even (NCAA) 3. Texas A&M - trending up (NCAA)
Tier 2 4. Georgia - trending up (NCAA) Big weekend for Bull dogs this week. 5. Missouri - trending down (NCAA)
Tier 3 6. South Carolina (They have beaten Tier 4 & 5 who they are supposed to beat and lost Tier 1 & 2)
Tier 4 7. Tennessee 8. Ole Miss 9. LSU 10. Alabama
Tier 5 11. Arkansas 12. Miss St. (glad they have Auburn twice on schedule!) 13. Auburn

I think if SC gets to 11-7 in conference, they're in. As of right now, I don't think they get in with their best win as Tennessee. If they can get at least one win against Georgia, Kentucky, Mizzou or A&M they'll be in much better shape.

My early end-of-year SEC predictions but I’d say right now Hollan Hans is POY and Kacie Evans is FOY. Not sure which other freshmen really stand out. Gillen is great for Arkansas but their record isn’t good enough. Setter and libero of the year for me is undecided.

Feels like LOY is coming down to Gomez and Curry. And don't forget about LSU's Rose being in the running for FOY!

SEC volleyball trivia: Rachel Kramer has been named both SEC Defensive and Offensive Player of the Week in her career. Who is the other active player to be so honored?

Correct. When I double-checked, I learned there is an additional active player to be named both. I think I read something recently about SoCar's Mikayla Robiinson having earned both Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week in her career. I would assume she also earned a Freshman Player of the Week during that season as well?

In the latest in-conference stats, Robinson is 1st in blocks and 2nd in hitting %.

Gillen is great for Arkansas but their record isn’t good enough. I don't disagree with this at all, but here's my shameless plug to the contrary: Gillen is playing all six rotations and is a primary passer in every rotation, and she is still in the top 10 in the conference in kills and points per set. She also does not benefit from having another go-to offensive weapon in the lineup (like Evans has Ritchie). I agree, though, that awards don't typically go to athletes on teams in the lower tier of the conference.

Lol (slight edit) -- was surprised I could edit your table. Thanks for the insights.
