The current Bracket Matrix (updated yesterday) has us as the top 4 seed with the 3 seeds being (in order) Baylor, Creighton, Duke, Kansas. Alabama and Illinois are right behind us on the 4 line. It's going to be close as far as 3 seed goes. We certainly need to win our first game in the SECT and quite possibly the first two games for a 3 seed. Obviously will help if those around us lose early in their conference tourney.Assuming the top 8 are set with Purdue, Yconn, Houston, Tenn, UNC, Zona, Iowa st and Marquette….cant see UK jumping anyone there. So then it’s Duke, Baylor, Creighton, Illinois, and UK fighting for the 3 seeds. Might be tough to crack that 3 line.

Yeah, that's a good point I saw someone make earlier. Will be interesting to see the next update hopefully prior to the SECT. This is also why I'll root for Florida if they end up playing Bama in the SECT with Bama right around us on the seed line.What I realized about Bracket Matrix is that it definitely lags a little bit. There's still a lot of movement we will see today. For instance, Duke and Baylor still have some 2-seeds, and we know that can't be true after both lost over the weekend.
lol at KU being over us. That’s hot garbage. We just beat a potential one seed at their place. KU lost to a potential one seed on the road by THIRTY That alone should vault us over them.The current Bracket Matrix (updated yesterday) has us as the top 4 seed with the 3 seeds being (in order) Baylor, Creighton, Duke, Kansas.

Got to try and prop up the dying ACC.I don’t understand why Duke is even being considered. They suck!!
Unless you and Florida were playing in the championship on Sunday and competing for the same seed line.I miss the days when your record, how the team performed down the stretch and the “eye test” determined where you were seeded.
Kansas and/or duke as a 3 over UK is a joke! Especially duke!

Saturdays win took a 5 seed out of the equation, Kentucky is either a 4 seed or with some success this weekend a 3 seedHave a bad feeling we get under seeded as a 5. Hope I’m wrong
Well they don’t suck, good all around team but certainly not deserving of a 2 seed and probably not even a 3. The ACC being as weak as they are and Duke losing 5 ACC games should drop them a seed line below what they deserve at a minimum. Their lone victory they have to flaunt is Baylor before Christmas and they have two losses to teams with losing records in Georgia tech and Arkansas.I don’t understand why Duke is even being considered. They suck!!
KU hadn’t really beaten much of anyone either. They just got torched couple of days ago. It’s painfully obvious UK is better than they are. Heck we were better in Nov and we didn’t have any bigs!Kansas and/or duke as a 3 over UK is a joke! Especially duke! Who have they beaten?!
The Texas A&M flip flop soured me more. We beat them. And they got a higher seed. That was BSUnless you and Florida were playing in the championship on Sunday and competing for the same seed line.
UK won the game and UF got the seed line.
FOREVER Soured me on the Sunday SEC Championship game.
Even Jerry Palm (who notoriously under seeds us in his Mickey Mouse brackets) bumped us to a 4 after the Tennessee win. So long as we win our first SECt game, we are a 4 seed at minimum, but really should be a 3Have a bad feeling we get under seeded as a 5. Hope I’m wrong

I just dumped the Bracket Matrix current rankings into Excel and played around with the rankings that haven’t been updated since 3/8 or 3/9. If we assume we see the same percentage of those brackets bumping UK to a 3 and dropping KU to a 4 that we saw on the 3/10 updates, it looks like we’d still fall a little short of catching KU.If you scroll to the right more, you'll see a lot of people still hadn't updated since Friday, where UK was a 5 seed for many of them
So when they update, even if they give us a 4 seed, that's going to bring our average up quite a bit.
I think if BM was fully updated across the board, we'd be firmly in the 3 seed line.
I do agree with that!Unless you and Florida were playing in the championship on Sunday and competing for the same seed line.

Good news is one of Baylor/KU has to lose in that potential second game for KU (first for Baylor) and we're battling both for seeding. We should certainly jump KU if they lose that (and we at least win our first SECT game) but there's also a case to be made we would jump Baylor as well if they lose their first game.I think if we take care of our business there's a fair chance we end up on the 3 line.
KU won't be the favorite in that Big 12 tournament.
Wonder if being the 6 seed and having an additional game will help them
Baylor will be favored in that KU/Baylor game and if they get past that Iowa St will also be favored.
Conversely we'ld be an underdog vs Alabama but they are kind of falling a bit.

Our average would be 3.71; KU’s would be 3.31.
I could be wrong but if we’re using BM as a guide, it looks like our easiest path to a 3 is KU bouncing in qtrs or semis of Big 12 and UK making semis (probably finals to be safe) of SECT
Ding ... winner !Duke has played against a ranked opponent twice since the middle of December.....UNC both times and they lost both times. So I don't care that they have less losses when they play in a mid major conference. 🤣
We are a 4 at worst currently and a 2 at best IMO. To get a 2 we need help with others losing early in conference tournaments. We most likely have nothing but Quad 1 games left so wins help and losses won't matter much. That being said lets just win.Make the SECT final and we are a lock 3 seed. Lose before then and we are playing with fire.
It’s soooooooo dumb the SEC is willing to go along with the money grab and won’t move the conference championship game back. The Committee years ago formally asked the SEC and Big Ten to move the championship games back and both conferences refused so those HUGE game are rarely considered. Can you imagine if the SEC football championship wasn’t considered for CFP rankings???We are a 4 at worst currently and a 2 at best IMO.
