No way we get a 6 seed...

[lacrossepro70]

Who would have thought the Vols would have been a 2 seed last season? While a six seed is probably not likely, you just never know.

If we beat Florida on tuesday, then I say it is likely.

If we beat Florida Tuesday, then we have more pull than I thought. :crazy: :dance:

They lost in Tuscaloosa today. They lost on the Plains earlier this year.

Lebo!!!! :dance2: (in the interest of full disclosure..I'm a TTU alumn)

ESPN's bracket they have Vanderbilt a 5 seed and Tennessee a 9 seed. that will change.

Kentucky is also a 5 seed, Alabama a 10 seed, and Florida a 1 seed for 5 SEC teams now. Georgia dropped out, at one time they projected 6 SEC teams.

Arizona has an RPI of 14 and a SOS of 1. Are they guaranteed a spot?
Kentucky is 8th in RPI and 2 in SOS.

Yes, Arizona will get in, without question.

Kentucky will also be seeded higher than their record would indicate they deserve. They'll be a 5 seed.

Well, just got finished looking at the Hall's Salvage Sports show, and they've pretty much said the same thing I've been saying.

 

[tidwell]

They too implicated that UT would in no way get a 6 seed right now despite no one making such a claim?

downtownvol made the claim...

 

[tidwell]

Did he say that UT would get a 6 seed if the tournament started today?

I'm with hat on this one. Show me 24 teams that have a better resume than UT right now.

It'd be a long search to find 24 better resumes.

I think the selection committee will also consider that we dropped 3 of 4 games with our All-American on the bench...with him back, and looking more comfortable each game, we'll hit the tournament at full-strength. It's not all that far-fetched to see us get a 6 seed.

 

[hvwarrior58]

Our seed will depend on the next 2 games and what happens in the SEC tourney.

Vandy just won against UK

 

[volbreaker]

Probably not. However, find me 24 better resumes. It's not like there is this huge pool of teams having outstanding seasons.

Yep....good point:salute:

In other news, I'd like to officially welcome Alabama to the 2007 NIT field.

For Tennessee to get the 2-seed in the SEC tourney, our best chance is to win out AND Vandy lose at South Carolina AND either Vandy also lose to Arkansas or UK lose to Georgia. Unlikely, but possible. Also, mathematically, a loss to Florida wouldn't yet eliminate us from 2-seed contention.

In other news, I'd like to officially welcome Alabama to the 2007 NIT field.

That is hilarious, but I think Bama is in if they win their last two games this week to finish 8-8. UK, UT, and Bama are probably the only SEC teams that could go dancing at 8-8.
