How many games will the SEC win in Round One?

[FurdTerguson]

I say 10. What say you?

9

Every year I think the league is going to kick ass and every year they end up going down like sacks of potatoes.
This is definitely a different SEC, but I still don't trust Mississippi State, aTm, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Vandy, or Missouri.
But I would laugh so hard if MSU got to duke and beat their asses.

5 or 6

Round 1?

Only Texas can win so 1

7.

 

[KYFOSSIL]

I say every SEC team is going to lose in the tournament except one😎

 

[BlueBomb]

Don't know, but I'll be rooting for every SEC team except one to win their first round games. Feel free to guess who that might be.

Same here

 

[Kyhoward]

7 - Aub, Fla, Tenn, Bama, UK, Ole Miss, and Okla

10
The four top 2 seeds, considering those seeds win >95% of the time in 1st round). That leaves 10 teams, so if the SEC goes 6-4 in those games, that is reasonable, thus a 10-4.

Hopefully u mean UT as them losing opens up the elite 8 to UK.

Not sure what the spreads will be, but the SEC teams are the higher seed in 9 of the matchups including a team in 3 of the 8/9 games (1 as the 8 seed, 2 as the 9), 2 of the 7/10 games (both as the 10), and one of the 11/11 games.

So 9-5 or 10-4 would be about right with those 6 games being pretty much toss-ups.

I agreed with @BlueBomb but wasn't thinking about your point, which is a great one...

so, with that in mind, I will be rooting for all but 2 SEC teams to win their first round game.

However, if I only have to choose 1 team to lose in the first round, it wouldn't be UT. I could just pull for them to be upset in the 2nd round to make for an easier path to the EE for the Cats.

Nice play on words

I hope all SEC teams win each game till they start playing each other.

Don't do that.

Play in isn't a round

A round is when everyone plays

 

[FitchandMurray29]

I say like 8 SEC teams make the round of 32. One of the 6 seeds loses and only one of the sub 6 seeds win

 

[BlueBomb]

Yes, good point. But that's why I said "first round." I'll root for UT to lose in the 2nd round.

 

[know1]

Now that I've looked closer, I'm going with the SEC winning 6 games in round 1.

 

[maysvilleky]

I have 9 including Tex beating Xav.

 

[yabbadabbadoo]

11-14

 

[permdaddy]

Don't do that.

Glad the NCAA changed that back. Hated when they called the play in games round 1.

 

[cathouse]

It is 6. Maybe 7. Depends on how close the games are called.
