Southeastern Conference Men's Basketball Tournament Seeding and Tiebreakers

No clue if they have the tiebreakers correct but still a cool website.

Not that it matters today - TXAM at Arkansas clears it up tomorrow night, but they have Arkansas as the #2 based on combined records of the 3x tied at #2 versus the 4x teams tied at 8-6 for 6th place.

BUT versus the #5 seed Texas A&M, TN and Bama are 1-0 while Arkansas is 0-0 (until Wednesday night). So those A&M wins eliminate Arkansas from the 3-way tie and then TN gets the tie breaker versus Bama based on head-to-head.

Florida has wrapped up one of the 4 double byes.

5 of the 8 opening round spots are filled by Miss State, Oklahoma, Mississippi, USC, and LSU.

Barn is 1 loss (or a Georgia win) away from wrapping up the 6th opening round spot.

Georgia and Texas are close to taking the last 2 opening round seeds.

Tennessee has fallen to the 4th seed.

There are 4x teams tied for the 5th seed - one game behind TN.

Texas is 2 games behind TN.

TN’s magic number to avoid the opening round is one. Either a TN win or a Texas loss on Saturday guarantees that TN will finish no worse than 8th.

Okay. Time to compose ourselves, put those regular season troubles behind us, and start building that bridge to Indianapolis!

We’re going to Bridgestone first.

I enjoy the SECT. Top teams often trying to improve their NCAAT seed. Bottom half teams trying to get a bid. But it was more meaningful to play in when there were just 10 SEC teams and the NCAAT only took 2 or 3 or maybe 4 SEC teams.

It was really fun when they brought it back in 1979. Just the second year after the end of the Ernie and Bernie Show.

Ole Miss was DeVoe’s Kryptonite. Elston Turner made us pay for not getting him into an orange and white uniform. A-E fo’evah! They were a force in the 1970s. Now Fulton (and Central, Bearden, West, and Catholic) picks off their best athletes.

Negative about being the 4, our 2nd game is likely against Florida...

We'd face winner of 5 vs 12/13

With 3 games left we are in a bit of a must win spot. 10-5 with 4 teams below us at 9-6...Missouri with the H2H, Kentucky with the H2H and Vandy with an opportunity to split with us still.

Games coming up that will impact our seeding big time BOLD winning helps us the most I think
SAT:
Vandy at Kentucky
Arkansas at Florida
Missouri at Miss State
Texas at A&M

MIDWEEK:
Bama at Georgia
Vandy at Ole Piss
Missouri at OU
Kentucky at A&M
Texas at Arkansas

FINAL SAT:
Auburn at Bama
Florida at Kentucky
Arkansas at Missouri
