I didn't like what I saw. We are currently the 4 seed, in Florida's side of the bracket, with a likely game vs Arkansas Friday. This is not ideal. We need Georgia to lose and we take the 2 or 3 seed. Now this may be a moot point if we don't win out, I'm posting this assuming we will. Georgia probably won't lose to MSU tomorrow, but most likely as LSU Saturday.

I thought the same thing, but face it beat Arkansas take the shot at Florida. I think LSU wins against GA and we win out securing the 3 seed.

We shouldn't be in this predicament to begin with.

I would like to see UT on Kentucky's side of the bracket because they match up better against Kentucky than Florida.

No doubt, I wasn't meaning it to say merge or anything, just if you were looking for opinion there's quite a few in there about this.

Moving up to the 3 seed so we can avoid Florida would be the best case at this point. I think 1 win likely does it in the SECT, but would prefer our path as a 3 seed.

Your looking at a tough game either way. I don't see a lot of difference in Arkansas, LSU or Ole Miss. I'd prefer to avoid Arkansas because of the press but either of those teams works. Do we beat Kentucky or Florida? I don't think. Kentucky is losing it real fast but neither loss outweighs making it far enough to play them so I don't mind either team. Just win the first game.....That's all that matters

I think the opposite in terms of Arky... I say take them on head on beat them. I wish our draw was Arky, Mizzou, and then Ky.. beat all the competition head on and make the tourney.

I wanna see this team make the tourney, and I think if we're hot we could make a run. Guys like mcrae and stokes deserve this. regardless of what our fanbase thinks of the coach.

We might be the 4 seed if the tournament started today, but we're more than likely going to get the 3rd seed based on the remaining schedule. We should win our last 2 while Georgia will likely go 1-1 with a loss at LSU. We own the tie-breaker over UGA and Arkansas

Bottom line It's crunch time, we lost games we shouldn't have lost and won some games.

Tourney times are different, it's one and done. Doesn't make any difference who we play we just need to show up and not take any game for granted.

We don't then NCAAT may slip out of our hands. What happens if we lose the next 2 or go 1-1. Our focus needs to be the regular season finish and Auburn tonight. Not the 3 or 4 seeding.

We are dealing with assumptions and not facts. The SECT does not start today. Every team has two games to play and the results are not in yet. Seeding may completely change with the exception of Fl and Ky.

Yea it is...to much guessing around and yes our first SECT game can possibility be 4-6 different opponents. Why dodge anybody at this point. This team should never gotten in this position, but it did....3 -7 seed are our possibilities?
