SEC standings as of March 3, 2024. UT alone at the top. UK & AU tied for 4th
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Auburn's last 2 games are against 2 of the worst teams in the SEC in UGA and Missou. We have Vandy and UT. Unless we win out, we will likely be 5th.
They beat us head to head, they get it
We win out we get top 4. We lose to UT we get 5th.
What happens if there is like a 4 or 5 way tie at 13 and 5?
Say bama loses to FL.
UT loses out.
Uk wins out.
SC loses to MSU
Auburn wins out.
Lol.

Bama losing to Florida only gives them 5 losses.
So we would still have to win out to finish ahead of them.
When you lose to teams like lsu, a&m and flurida at home.....you're in this situation.
Beat the teams you're supposed to beat.
Florida is not a bad loss other than how we lost to them (and at home) but they have been playing everyone extremely tough. Don’t care what seed we end up with in SECT or NCAA. I’m a chip and chair type person, to win it all you have to beat some really good teams along the way, doesn’t matter when that takes place.
That LSU loss is the worst of the three.
Never should’ve lost that one. A&M played us very tough and that was a rough road environment. Florida is waaay better than their record.
This is what makes them a bad loss you are up 4 with 28 seconds left at home you can't lose that game....in fact you can't lose that game even if you are on the road.
We had to fail in 4 different spots in this ending to lose and we failed in all 4
They shot and missed all we had to do was get the rebound and game was over but they got the offensive rebound and put back with 13 seconds left they cut it to 2.
Then our smart coach has Reed throw the ball inbounds instead of being the one to catch the ball to get the FT's and while Reed is only our 2nd best FT shooter (Reeves #1) he has not missed a FT all year I don't think in the final minute of a game. Even if he has he is who you want to have the ball to end the game.
Yes Dilly is a solid FT shooter he was like 80% at the time but he missed the FT so that was fail #2
Then we could have fouled up 3 or Reed could have not left Clayton when you are up 3 with 5 seconds left you never ever ever leave anyone alone at the 3 point line let alone their best shooter. Fail #3
Then we can't get off a closing shot in the final 3 seconds and then lose in OT Fail #4
All that makes it a terrible loss.
Should have won the Florida game...could won the LSU game.......A&M seen a 3 ball go in and out (not to mention blowing the tie game last show with a turnover gifting them 2 pts)
So we could be a 3 loss team very easily. (winning 2 of those 3)

So the problem with Tennessee being the #1 seed is we would finish the likely #5 seed if we lost at Tennessee.
Not only need to play Thursday vs either Arkansas or Georgia most likely the quarters will be against probably Auburn, Alabama or South Carolina which is brutal
Then if we win that followed up with Tennessee in the Semis and a chance to go 0-3 vs them.
Would much rather had Bama the #1, and Tenn 2/3 if we are the 5.
If we beat Tennessee who knows how all this shakes out we could be the 1-2-3-4. (I think maybe not 1 who knows)

Clearly everyone has posted the down side. But, there is an upside. We get to watch our team play one additional game. Plus, maybe the match-ups will prove better. Our team still is a work in progress and Cal always seems to treat the SEC tournament as a practice. Well, hope they work on defense of pick and rolls drives to the basket. Hell, not even pick and roll, just every team meeting little resistance in their drives.
We are all celebrating our recent wins. But, let's not forget we gave ups sizable leads once again and that happens in the tournament it will be different than on a home court.

I think if we lose to UT next Saturday we are gonna be a 4 seed no matter what n ncaa tourney. Unless maybe we lose to the 12 n sec tourney and then maybe the committee takes us to a 5.
If we beat UT and get a double bye I would assume we can get a 3 but think we would have to do something n sec tourney to keep it 100%.
I said how we lost to them was a bad loss but losing to Florida in of itself was not. They are a really good team, playing really good ball at the moment. But yes it was an all systems fail and almost was again at state and that would have been worse blowing an 8 point lead with just under 1:00 to go.
Had a great non-conference and started 4-2 in the league, now 5-11 in league play. Just an awful stretch for Mike White. I knew the brunt of league play would be tough with the league as strong as it is. And yes, I know the talent still isn’t where it needs to be, but I guess I was hoping we could get somewhere in that 8-9 league win mark. Instead, we may finish with a worse league record than his first season. Brutal.
I was assuming we have to win out. Zero chance we lose a 6th game and get a 4 in SEC-T.
Hope we get UGA n the 5 vs 12 game if we don't get a top 4 seed. Will be nice to play a team we haven't seen in 2 months.
Arkansas or Vandy is too been there done that for me.
I thought UGA would have a better season as well. Really wishing they had held on to beat UT n January.
I thought Georgia was a surprise team early season. Mike White looked like a COTY nominee. Brutal.
Bottom line. UK needs to win its next two games.
They are still somewhat dangeorus. Their guard play is good. But the rest of that team just….isn’t. Georgia is a tough program to take over. That is THE football school outside of Bama right now. I can’t imagine trying to build interest and recruit there.
That being said COTY goes to Lamont Paris. Can’t stand them but he’s done amazing at USC.
If there are four teams tied with the same record,the record between those teams decides who is number one, two, three and four. If you can't decide it there, then I think you go back to their record against each other and then to the next highest team in the league.
When there's just two teams tied, you go head to head.
Let's say there's a miracle and there's a five-way tie at 13 and 5. UK would be three and two against the group.
GA has good in-state basketball talent. Due to Atlanta.
Interesting. I think we would be top 3 then but UT would be 4 and 3 compared to SC and UKs 3 and 2.
Auburn and Bama have both lost at least 3 to the others.
True. 60% to like 57%. So in that scenario perhaps SC is 1, UK 2 and UT 3.
We will know what we have to play for after UT vs SC and FL vs Bama. Since we have another damn late Wednesday game. Ugh.
