SEC tourney seeding
- Thread starter UKFAN4L
- Start date
According to KSR radio show, going 2-0 in remaining games will almost certainly result in 6 or 7 seed. Gotta win tonight and beat Missouri.
If we go 1-1, I’m assuming we need Ole Miss or TAMU to go 0-2.
It was super complicated when they explained it on yesterday’s show. I’m not going to pretend I understood it all. I’ll put it this way…if you go 1-1 (most likely to happen) there is a boatload of scenarios where you can end up in various seedlines. It doesn’t just involve Ole Miss and Mississippi State but also Vanderbilt. Recommend listening to the show instead of hearing from the Village Idiot on this one. Not enough brain power lol
I'm not expecting UK to make a big SECT run. Maybe win a game or two. That being said, definitely want to avoid being in Auburn's side of the draw. Going 1-1 is the most likely scenario vs LSU and @Mizzou.
That might take 0-2 though. 1-1 is a LIKELY 8 seed. That would mean Auburn in round 2.
Vandy at Georgia
Mississippi State at Arkansas
Those are tough enough road games that I doubt both win on the road. Would be pleasantly surprised if we got a ten seed but it seems unlikely
So many scenarios! Easiest to just root against Missouri, MSU, Ole Miss, TAMU, and Vandy in every game. Those are the teams against whom we are jockeying for position. But, if we lose to Missouri, we will need a lot of help. So, let's just beat them.
The 8th seed in the SECT will play the #1 seed (Auburn) if they win their Thursday game. The 7th seed would face #2 seed (Florida or Bama) if they win their first game.
Currently, A&M and Ole Miss are 9-7 and tied for 6-7th place in SEC. Miss St, UK, and Vandy are all 8-8 and tied for 8th place.
Remaining games:
A&M: Auburn, @LSU
Ole Miss: Tennessee, @Florida
Miss St: Texas, @Arkansas
UK: LSU, @Mizzou
Vandy: Arkansas, @georgia

Ole Miss cold lose both. I do not expect AM will. I can't see us winning at Mizzou but if everything I write is wrong, then maybe.
Facts. My head hurt after listening to that, and I'm fairly number centric.
Both those home teams (especially arkansas) need to win to have a shot to make ncaa. If Thiero isn't playing Arkansas has no shot though.
Click the "seeding scenarios" link in my post above. You can pick the outcome of the remaining games and it'll put it in the actual bracket for you.
I’m expecting the 8 or 9 seed.
Good and bad to either scenario.
Conventional wisdom says avoid the Wednesday game, but another Quad 2 win on the resume wouldn’t hurt. Of course a Q2 loss wouldn’t help us much, though.
And it’s possible that a warm up game before playing a decent opponent on Thursday could be beneficial.
And a chance to go 2-1 in the tourney instead of 1-1. 2-1 sounds better.
Really, as long as we avoid the upset tonight, I think we are good no matter where we land.
Losing tonight at home would be one of those damaging Quad 3 losses.
