Can't blame them, but Flordia fans are going hard on Twitter saying Flordia should still be a #1 seed despite that loss to Georgia.
Does anybody think they have an argument?
They did beat Auburn, but their resume isn't anywhere near as impressive as ours if we beat Alabama, IMO.
Here's their resume below. Yeah they beat Auburn and us, but we avenged our loss to them and have far more Quad 1 wins.
They basically close their schedule with the mostly same teams we have in the end of our schedule. If we both win out who do you think gets it? ( I know we TN fans will say Tennessee, but I mean who do you think committee will pick?)

^ They have 5 more Quad 2 wins than us but we have 4 more Quad 1 wins!
Quad 3 & 4 wins are essentially equal.
No brainer to me.
( side note: if you click on the orange you can see the Net/ record any of the teams played )

Also, if any mod could do a brother a favor I meant to put these last posts in the " Path to a #1 Seed" thread. Thx.

And they complain incessantly because they aren’t ranked any higher than they are. Most of the teams they beat are NIT teams and some don’t have winning records.
According to them, all the SEC positive pub is a big conspiracy.

It’s hilarious because all the SEC publicity eats Danny Kanell alive. He absolutely hates it, even in basketball, which cracks me up.

Does them having fewer losses not matter?

Not necessarily. Overall record doesn't necessarily determine any seed.
They have one less loss, but like I said we have almost double Quad 1 wins. This can outweigh 1 extra loss and in this case I believe it does. Makes sense you could have an extra loss when you're playing tougher competition.
Had they played 14 Q1 worthy games instead of 9, they may vary well have another loss, too.
Right now Lunardi has us at # 5 overall and them as #6.

I’m with you. As long as we’re within 1 loss of UF, our tougher schedule should let us edge them out. Everything is in front of us. Go 3-0 (2-0 really as we will beat SC here) and we will be a 1 seed. I’m surprised we’re so low on Bracketmatrix though. We’re like 1.94, behind UF, while Bama is solidly a 1 seed still. Bizarre. I guess we need to beat them to prove to everyone that should be our spot. Do that and surely they drop off the 1 line for most.

Auburn @ Kentucky @ 1:00 on ABC.

See a lot of chatter online ( mostly from KY fans) that KY has a really good chance of beating Auburn. I don't see it.
Anyone on this site predicting a KY upset?

It all depends on their defense. Auburn can beat Kentucky even if UK hits the 80 point mark. That’s no problem to them if Kentucky doesn’t guard. I don’t see them being able to stop Broome and if they double down, Broome is an excellent passer and Auburn will likely have open perimeter looks. If they’re knocking them down, Kentucky won’t win. They’ll have to play better defense no matter how good their offense plays.

Their D is garbage. They are going to have to shoot for sure 50 form the floor and from 3 like they did against us to beat Auburn. Maybe/probably higher.
That's how I see it anyways.

Yeah they’ll for sure have to efficient offensively. They’ll have to have both ends of the floor tho to win. I just don’t think they have the physicality outside of Williams and Oweh to beat Auburn. The one thing is turnovers. If they can turn Auburn over and get out in transition, I think that’s their best chance. I don’t think they’ll. Able to guard and force Aurburn into tough shots and hope they miss enough to win. I’ve been wrong before tho.

Pearl has already said out loud what everybody in the world already knew. "Kentucky always gets that good whistle". They've been called Rupparees for as long as I can remember.

What's absolutely hilarious is KY are absolutely convinced they get the worst whistle of anyone in Basketball. Even at home. They make more posts on this than just about anything. No matter how this game is going today watch and see if they aren't complaining about the refs.

I know all fans tend to do it, but KY are literally the worst I have ever seen.

I used to work with a UK fan that wanted to fire Calipari like, right when they were in the midst of making the final four every other year.

Like, guy wanted to fire him after they didn’t win it all in their undefeated season lol.

I was just flabbergasted as someone watching Cuonzo ball at the time.
