There are so many stupid selections:

Kansas is the overall #1 seed, yet:

1. The Committee puts the best #3 (Georgetown) in their bracket;

2. A 4 seed that is seeded as a #6 (UT) in their bracket; and

3. Ohio State (the best #2 seed) in their bracket?

Utterly stupid, especially when you have 4 teams from the SEC East in the Tourney.

What the hell does this group have against Tennessee? we always schedule tough like they want, but year after year (except for Bruce's first year), they bend the Vols over.

San Diego State is by far the toughest 11 seed in this tourney. They are more like a 8 or 9.

How do you make Kentucky the #2 overall, Vanderbilt a #4, put Florida in the Dance as a #10 and have UT a #6 in Kansas' bracket?

On the other hand, Kentucky cannot be happy having to see either Texas or Wake on the first weekend. Those two teams have the interior to give Kentucky fits.

I also think Temple is a very scary team for Kentucky to have in their bracket. WVU is a beast. They should have been a #1 seed. This committee did Kentucky no favors at all. I think the #3 in that bracket is the weakest 3, but the East is a beast with WVU, Texas, and Temple out there.

Vandy has to be very pleased with their draw. I think Vandy is Butler's worst SEC nightmare. And Syracuse is so schizo and may have a serious injury problem. Vandy has to like that road to the Great 8 and Kansas St. and Pitt as the 2 and 3 are teams Vandy can beat. I like Vandy's chances to get to the great 8 and they would be my Cinderella for the Final Four.

Florida gets bounced in the first game. BYU is nothing to sneeze at. The Gators are fortunate to get in, but they are likely gone early.

Ultimately, I think A&M probably got the seed we should have gotten. Wisconsin and Maryland getting 4 seeds over the Vols is a joke.

How did Duke get the last #3 overall seed but get to play the winner of the play in game?

And just who does New Mexico play to deserve a #3 seed?

Kentucky is the #2 overall seed in the Tourney and the Vols were playing their 3rd game in three days. We beat Kansas and Kentucky. I expect to get some freaking respect. Who did Wisconsin beat? Who did Butler beat? Purdue is without their best player and got owned by Illinois. Anyone sane knows a 6 seed is a screwing of a top 15 RPI team with wins over the #1 and #2 seeds in the tourney.

The Mountain West got the same number of teams into the field as the SEC. They also played a decent enough nonleague schedule.

Hey Vols:

The SEC has a whole got F*cked but so did those jayhawkers----

For starters, no way Miss St. gets left out of this dance w/florida pulling a 10. Had they played Kansas or Duke --- State is in, but it was against us & I think you see, the committee doesn't think much of the Cats.
We got the absolute nightmare of a road.
West Virginia is a solid 1 but there they sit waitin on us just like a spider. The game w/texas is a killer for us--- -even w/a W over the longhorn's <----it's a harmful win & can really mess us up mentally.
Ya'll got hosed.... BET THAT. And it was probably due to the L yesterday......
The only thing left to do now for both teams now is just to lace it up & bring it. All the b*tchin in the world isn't going to change a thing.
Vandy, I swear is seeded too high, but that's jmo.
Cuse goes on a losing skid & gets the cake walk bracket----don't look for em to come out of it though.
duke--- ncaa committee circle jerk at its best. UNFRIGGINBELIEVABLE.

Well....
Best of luck to you, unlike a lot of you (and vice versa) I pull for the Vols in the tourney.

Let's do this! Make the committee look like a bunch of a**es!
SURVIVE & ADVANCE.

GO CATS GO CATS GO BIG BLUE!

I think a six seed is about right. Tennessee's main problem is a lack of consistency. Yes you beat Kansas and UK which is no small accomplishment, but...

You got boat raced by a bad USC squad by 22
A bad 29 point loss at Vandy.
Bad 13 point loss at Florida
And curb-stomped by UK yesterday.

This committee is not dumb, and I'm sure that 45-55% of the teams that made the dance (plus another dozen that didn't) aren't happy either.

Unless you like in Starkville, you haven't really a reason to complain.

The Bracket Project's Bracket Matrix - 2010
Check this consensus of bracket experts. Not only should Vols have been a 4. Our 1st rd opponent SD St should be a 9 instead of 11. We are having to play 1st rd game as if we were only an 8 seed. G'town is the best 3 in the field. And the idiots on the committee rewarded Kansas as overall number one seed with a bunch of better teams than their seeding. They are DAH!

I don't watch it constantly, but I've caught a couple of Mountain West games in ESPN 360. There is some solid basketball out there. BYU might make some noise.

If the committee truly looks at the season as a whole & NOT the last 10 games or so.....
How in the Hell do the Vols NOT get a solid 3 or 4?????
I mean hell, you beat us & you beat Kansas.... what more do you haft to do?

Vandy 4??? I just can't get over it!

Committee needs to grow a set & stop letting espn dictate the tourney!

Again good luck!

GO CATS!

Pat Forde includes Tennessee in a group of five teams in the tournament with the following trait:

Five name teams from name conferences that are junk art at heart and will be bounced early:

Excellent.

With a reasonable seed, I think that we see the third round, personally...now it would take a miracle, I suppose.

It's more of the fact that I don't like Coach Cal then Kentucky....and one team I'll never pull for regardless of the situation....FLORIDA

Jay Bilas thinks Murray State is not a sure win for Vandy. ... all we had to do to have Vany's seed was to beat them in Knoxville. ... pitiful.

the way the seeding goes,Georgetown is supposed to be in Kansas' region...the worst 2 gets bracketed with the best #1, cause the best 2 goes with the worst 1..so then the best 3 rolls around with the worst 2...etc...they just follow the overall seed numbers 1 to 16 for the top 4 seeds with few changes for conference matchups..etc...that's exacty HOW it should be...
