How is KY projected as a #1 seed and Tennessee #2 seed in the NCAA

[Zues1]

KY has a fine team but they trail Tennessee.
As well Tennessee won that series in Lexington

I probably shouldn't be the first to answer because there are countless others more knowledgeable than me, but I believe it's because their RPI is a good bit better. And I think that's mainly because their non conference strength of schedule was significantly better.

They played a tougher non con schedule with some road games. That helps RPI

I see UT as the #1 now not UK.

RPI won't matter now if we just win. We won SEC and won head to head.

If Tenn wins the SECT, you’re right. The projection is “as of today” and that has Ky #1. I just stated why they are.

we all know we are KY's Daddy, in football, baseball, basketball, badmiton, rugby, rowing, gymnastics, foosball, well. you get the picture.

We are playing vandy boyz. They just beat FL.

They played the other teams in the top 4 in the SEC and top 5 in the country is my guess.

And it meant nothing when we came rolling into Lexington. I get what you’re saying, but they’re not better than us.

 

[number1volfanfrom76]

I think we're arguing about nothing. Whip their butts and advance. Worry about the next game!

 

[LivinginthePast]

Kentucky will not make it out of their regional.

 

[Volstylexx]

Vols should be #1 seed... but trust me, you don't want the 1 seed going into the post-season. Give us number 2 and let's ride it all the way to a natty.

 

[VolPack22]

Our non conference RPI is actually better than Kentucky’s. They played the more difficult conference schedule though. Kentucky also cancelled two midweek games at the end of the season to save that OOC RPI from dropping further. Just my opinion but I think the selection committee will punish them and give them the #3 seed. They sent out a memo to all the schools specifically telling teams not to do that and they did it anyways. They covered it up as “due to inclement weather” but everyone knows they didn’t want to hurt their RPI. Who knows, they could have lost either of those games and our overall RPI would be very close.

They can HAVE the #1 seed. I actually would prefer we beat Vandy tonight and then lose the next two.

 

[TennEddie]

Today’s LSU /UK score ended any # 1 seed for the Kitties.

 

[Volnanza]

Today’s LSU /UK score ended any # 1 seed for the Kitties.

Were they 'run ruled' in that game? Not a good look.

 

[livefaith]

They won more games against the OTHER teams in the conference than TN.

I'm in Korea. Help me out. We lost to Vandy?

 

[vol66]

I'm in Korea. Help me out. We lost to Vandy?

Yep.

You might say that they probably took out some frustrations.

 

[indian rick]

Can you say, spite because ofthe lawsuit? I knew you could.
