Who would have guessed at the start of the season that we would be projected a 1 seed and Kansas would be a 3 in our region, when people were crowning them national champs already

Also, Georgia being projected higher than Arkansas currently is objectively hilarious.

I'm surprised he has Oklahoma so low (7 seed) given they are a borderline Top-10 team currently.
 
3 SEC teams as one seeds seems like a very long shot.

Didn't the Big East get all four Number 1 seeds back in the mid-2000's? I think Pitt, Louisville, Villanova and maybe UCONN were all 1 seeds from the same conference. Might need to fact-check that.

3 is the most any conference has had in a single NCAA Tournament.

2019 - ACC - Duke, UNC, Virginia
2009 - Big East - UConn, Louisville, Pittsburgh

Looks like they had 3 one seeds that year. I was really curious and had to google around. Found this random B10 article from 2021, but states the ACC (2019) and Big East (2009) had 3 one seeds.

 
It's December, there are 20+ games left to play, this will in no way be close to what actually happens.

It's a fun exercise ( I guess) but I never understand why anyone gets overly excited (good or bad) when these come out.
 
To be honest I like our team as it was total rebuild . Yea we are 4th. However the SEC is a slaughterhouse and most play physical ball our greatest weakness. Best seed i see us happening when said an done is likely a 3 seed . Something anyone here would of been happy for pre season. Say outside shot at a 2.

if we're on from 3 we best anyone . If we struggle from 3 some then there's 6/7 teams that give us an L.

On one hand, it is a bit meaningless as there's still a ton of games.

Also .......just one person. One person's opinion on where teams are at.

Having said that, I do think this provides a good snapshot of at least what path the teams are currently on. I think that has "some use". Given this is like the only thing the guy does, he's probably looking at resumes closer than anyone. I think there's some merit with that.

USC is the worst team record wise in the SEC at 7-3. That would be good for 7th in the ACC with 12 teams having a worse record. 😂
