SECT: The Cats could get to the No. 5 spot with a 2-0 record this week. The Cats could get to the No. 11 spot with an 0-2 record.

Jimmy Dykes loves Cal and is in Hog Heaven with him being in Fayetteville. Conversely, he has no use for UK because we ran off his guy. Announcers just can’t let go of their personal biases.

Dykes is from Arkansas, played there, and was the head coach for the women's team a bit later in life at Arkansas. He is a big Arkansas fan. I don't think he has personal attachment to Calipari, other than probably wanting Arkansas to succeed, just like Goose Givens wants UK to succeed.

However, he also coached here, following Sutton from Arkansas. He's always been very fond of Kentucky.

Ole Miss has Tenn and Florida left - they are a 7 seed. So we probably aren't going to lose anything to them. MIss State is the 9 seed though and only have Oklahoma and Texas.

To get up to a 5-seed in SEC-T, we would need:
- UK go 2-0
- Missouri to lose @ Okl
- Ole Miss to lose to UT and @ Florida
- TAMU to lose to Auburn or @ LSU
Also if Ole Miss goes 1-1, we still may have a chance depending on the 2nd/3rd/4th level tiebreakers

Most likely result.
We go 1-1 and end up an 8 seed in this.

Most likely result.
We go 1-1 and end up an 8 seed in this.

It really depends ironically might need Ole Miss to win 1 of their final 2 for Kentucky to be 8 seed should Ole Miss lose both and then we tie with Miss State then Miss State jumps to the 7, Ole Miss 8 and we end up 9th

If Ole Miss wins 1 game and ends up 7th or higher then we win tie over Miss State we get 8th

Now throw Vandy into the mix as 3/4 way ties.

FWIW it looks like on Kenpom the predicted final standings look a little like this:

Ole Miss 10-8
UK 9-9
Miss St 9-9
Vandy 9-9.

Tho Ole has Florida and UT so that might not be easy. Could def drop to 9-9 IMO.
Miss St got Texas/Arkansas. Should beat Texas at home but the road game in Arkansas could be a coin flip.
Vandy has Arkansas/Georgia. Two coin flip games.

Maybe we'll go 2-0 and make this a moot point lol.
