Committee doesn't look at conference records at all.

UF plays at Vandy I believe.

I don't think being 2nd in SEC would change the fact that a tourney championship is our only way in the NCAA. It would make a hell of a case for COY for Cuonzo.

I don't necessarily agree that we have to have a tourney championship to make it. Finals is likely good enough especially if loss in finals is to Kentucky.

yeah nm - you're right - no way they go into Nashville and win.. its pretty much up to Alabama losing tonight and us wnning againt LSU/Vandy. Which is a lot to ask from our team imo.

i'll settle it. alabama is going to finish second, with the way they are playing.

Actually I agree and have stated that as well. Winning out and a loss to UK in the finals would be a hard resume to reject.

This is Tennessee's luck, everyone is talking about. Tennessee will probably win out, Vandy will beat Florida, but Florida will probably pull off some incredible upset against Kentucky next Sunday.

What about if bama wins and it's a 4 way tie???

UT 3-1
Vandy 2-2
UF 1-3
Bama 1-2

[Bassmanbruno]

Looks like we need ole miss to beat bama

After reading the SEC tiebreaker rules again, if it were a 4 way tie this is how it would work (as I understand it).
Record against all tied teams first
Tied UT 3-2 and Vandy 3-2, 4th- Florida 2-3 (.400), 5th- Bama 1-2 (.333). Then they would break the tie for 2nd by; first head to head- even at 1-1, then record vs UK-even 0-2, then record vs Florida- UT 2-0, Vandy 1-1. Thus, UT would still finish 2nd and Vandy 3rd.

Very nice work. Basically if UT wins out we should be 2 or 3???There's no scenario we wouldn't be is there?

[bleedingTNorange]

Actually, if Florida beats vandy they are 2. We beat vandy and bama wins out we are tied, they win tie break so they'd be 3 and we'd be 4.

I think that's the only scenario though. So we need Vandy to beat Florida and we need to keep winning. Obviously us winning is the most important part.

I can only wink with one eye. Is that going to help or hurt the team?
