Pretty Decent Week So Far For Our NCAA/SEC Seeding

[Tampa_cat54]

For SEC Seeding:

Kentucky won
Miss State Lost
Vandy Lost
Ole Miss won (which is good AND bad for us, but means there's no scenario now that we potentially play on Wednesday, and could still get as high as the 6 seed if Ole Miss loses @ FL and we beat Mizzou).

For NCAA Tournament Seeding, looking at teams close to us in seed lines:

Kentucky won
Mizzou lost to OU (which is a double win because our win against them now looks even better)
Iowa State lost to BYU
Michigan has lost two in a row, including tonight to Maryland

Looking ahead:

Arizona (currently projected 4 seed) SHOULD lose AT KU on Saturday (in the Phog)
Michigan (currently projected 4 seed) SHOULD lose AT Michigan State on Saturday (in East Lansing)
Purdue (currently projected 4 seed) SHOULD lose AT Illinois on Saturday (In Illinois)
St. Johns (currently projected 3 seed) SHOULD lose AT Marquette on Saturday (In Milwaukee)

If we can just beat Mizzou on Saturday, we should be in an unbelievable position to get a 3 seed. But HAVE to go win.

Missouri is 18 and 1 at home and coming off 2 losses. We will earn a win if we can get it Saturday.

I can see St John’s winning, Purdue is hotter now and Illinois is inconsistent. That said I just want us to win and then make a SECT run. We control our destiny. We have all the great wins we could ask for. Just need to beef up the record a little now.

We would need tex am n to lose to wouldn't we to get the 6?

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

At the end of the day I still say Kentucky is a 4 seed, but they will have chances to hold down and keep a 3 seed

 

[Fox2monk]

If we beat Mizzou I could see us moving up to the 14/15 range in the final poll before the conference tourney.

Not since Florida beat Bama tonight. We get the 6 seed if:

We win saturday
A&M wins
Ole Miss loses @ Florida

Tiebreaker scenario I guess?

 

[jbne222]

Only thing that hurt was A&M beating Auburn. I think there's no way we drop below a 4 seed unless we finish 0-2 and a bunch of teams behind us win, but don't feel great about keeping a 3 seed without beating Mizzou

On the other hand, if you lose to Missouri, you would have a chance to beat Auburn yourself in the SECT to get back on the 3 line. Do I see that happening? Not likely

We might not even have to beat Mizz, so long as we win the first SECT game. Amazingly enough we've been a 3 seed for like nearly a month, and we've consistently won a game and lost a game almost every week.. yet we've stayed right on that 3 seed through it all.

We are at the point now where other teams will need to win their final game AND probably win a game in their tournament to over take us.

Things look pretty good to lock in a 3 seed. And the absolute worst case scenario seems to be dropping to a 4.

Bracket Matrix has us as the final 3 seed, but thats lagging a bit from our win last night and Michigan and ISUs loss. At some point teams are just too far back to catch us IMO, because Mizz won't hurt us too bad as it's gonna be a Q1a game regardless.
