If SEC-T started today...

[JonathanW]

I know things will change between then and now. But almost 1/2 through SEC play, if the SEC-T started today, assuming higher seeds won, we would play in order:
UT, Auburn, Alabama
UT (9 seed) will have played the night before

Talk about Murderer’s Row

It’s going be a wild ride to see who gets the top 4 seeds. Right now Auburn and Bama have created some separation, but after that it’s a log jam of a lot of solid teams.

Every year in the past, other than of course watching UK games, or the rare WKU game, I would watch the best games on tv (which usually was not SEC games). This year, it seems like every Tuesday, Wed & Sat the best games are SEC games, I'm almost ONLY watching SEC games.

This years SEC tourney will be must watch TV. Dish has a feature where you can watch 4-8 games at once. I will for sure be using that during conference tourney week

Do you get to pick your own 4-8 games on Dish you want to watch? YouTube TV has 4 screens and offers many different options, but you cannot choose the 4 games you want to watch at once (multiview is what YouTube TV calls it)

I figured out about at my friends house last year during the tourney and he was picking the games he wanted to watch so I think you can but I’m not for sure entirely yet. I just got dish like a month or 2 ago, so I’m gonna figure out myself

This is why we really gotta try and move up a bit. I think having the Byes is going to be much more important this year. Even just to rest up a bit before the NCAAT.

YouTube TV has it every night there are games which is nice- just wish I could pick and choose the exact games I want to watch- you can build your own "Multiview" but not all games can be added- no idea why

i was looking at the standings last night. Auburn aside, everyone is so bunched up you really can't tell anything at this point.

I have a feeling 1-2 games are going to separate a TON of teams this conference.

Yeah, may be going to 3rd, 4th tiebreakers

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I just gotta feeling Kentucky will be the 4th or 5th seed that’s my feeling right now

From time to time the last few years I've heard it said the committee almost doesn't consider conference tournament performance any more (except for the automatic qualifiers obviously). Allegedly the selections and seedings are pretty well set by maybe Friday with little scope for rearranging it.

I haven't investigated it myself and I'm sure they don't announce it in those terms. Is there evidence for this? It doesn't make sense to me, because for decades committees have shuffled seedings right up to the last minute.

I don't exactly want a return to divisions because they can get wildly unbalanced, i.e. rewarding a team with a better seeding just for playing in the weaker division. But it's certainly easier both to reason about the schedule and to not have to fall back on as many tiebreakers. This year will be especially bunched up 4 or 5 through 12.

 

[JimboBBN]

That stretch would be harder than the elite eight going forward in the NCAA tournament.

It would be nice to see Florida lose to Tn Saturday. If we can beat Arkansas and steal a win Tuesday night at Ole Miss, we will be in a really good position.
Tennessee has one hell of a tough scheduke on the way out, I think we finish ahead of them, we need Florida to start losing.
Alabama probably has the toughest schedule from here on out, so who knows, maybe we can catch them. That would be awesome.

The Sunday conference championship games seem to have zero bearing on seeding. I’d say the games up through Saturday get considered, but barring some random team playing Sunday the seeds are just about set already.

My evidence- watching UK win the SECT with no real boost in seeding. It’s why coaches have pleaded to move the championship game to Saturday.

Yeah it's beginning to look like the difference between say 9-9 and 10-8 could be massive in terms of SEC tournament seeding.

Dang, we really need to win the games we're supposed to win from here on out and pick up one or two more that we're not supposed to win.
