There are so many cards left to be dealt. We need to play well down the stretch, get better, and hope for a seed that gives us favorable matchups. We’re pretty far away from enough data to have any idea where we’ll sit. UF has Condon hurt, Auburn and Bama knock each other around, and there are non- SEC teams looking in from the outside. A&M away is daunting. Alabama at home is a massive opportunity. If we knock off number one in the country and get to the tournament with two or fewer losses, we can land a great two or possibly a one depending on the circumstances. Two things are true: This year’s SEC is being discussed as the best conference in NCAA history. That’s been repeated so often it’s a talking point. Secondly, Lunardi and others have said that they WILL have to use tournament data this year (at least from the SEC) because the top seed separation will be razor thin. None of it matters now. We just need to finish strong and keep improving.
