Based on their starting lineups from their most recent games, Arkansas and Vanderbilt are the two youngest teams in the SEC.
I had a question earlier this week about which team was starting the most freshmen and sophomores. The Hogs started 11 last week in their 63-27 win over Eastern Michigan, and the Commodores started 10 in their 56-31 loss to Georgia Tech.
