6 would be a record number for SEC

I think the top 5 are locks. Will Texas A&M get their groove back? I think so but they could keep sliding.

I think Missouri will finish 8-10 and miss. Alabama already slipping. Georgia has a home ec teacher as their coach.

Maybe Miss State gets hot.

I’ve got a bachelor party that weekend of Tennessee grads in Nashville. We play there and we will Be there rowdy as hell!

I think at least 6 get in, gotta think one of those teams gets hot and 7 looks likely.

All UK hate aside, I agree. I think they will still compete for SEC title though, but this season has been crazy. Pretty exciting year for bball down south.

Yeah, UK hate aside, they just seem to be given the benefit of doubt over what they MIGHT become. They are hardly ever judged on what they actually are.

I'm having a hard time finding that statistic. Any idea where it could be found?

It was partially based on assumption...SEC went to 14 teams same time field went to 68, so I’m assuming when field was 64 teams or less and only 12 SEC teams that they never got in 6. I went through the years after expansion and most I counted was 5 last season.

SEC got 6 in during the 1999 NCAAT.

Tennessee, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Arkansas, Florida, and Auburn

Also in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008

Good info, thanks for finding, that’s what I get for assuming.

That’s good news though...means getting 7 teams in is not all that crazy if they’ve gotten in 6 multiple times.

I think 6 is likely. The 5 locks plus one more team who gets going. Maybe miss state, Texas am.

I don’t think 7 make it but definitely possible.

8 will not happen.

I agree 8 is not likely, but 7 would be unprecedented and a great sign for the league.

Slive took over the league and twisted arms so that schools would schedule tougher OOC. I'm guessing the SEC's RPI is the best it's ever been.

I’d be ecstatic w a 4 seed

I just hope we don't flush the season away with a 5 or 6 game losing streak. This team is to talented. But at times they play cocky. They need to stay locked in on defense. Play a full 40 minutes and beat Missouri tonight.

If by cocky, you mean a lack of effort, a "roll the ball out there" mentality, then I'd agree that there have been glimpses of that at times. There was a time, right at the beginning of SEC play, that this team may have got the big head, and it cost them a couple winnable games. I haven't seen that same mentality since the Auburn game. Hopefully, we don't see it again.

NCAA is now putting out "team sheets" every day. They include the new quadrants which they've announced would replace their traditional reliance on RPI. They also include other statistical rankings: such as KPI, Espn SOR, KenPom, BPI, and Sagarin. And an average of the quality and stat rankings. My guess is that seeding will be strongly correlated to those numbers. Which right now they have Tennessee with an average of 16. So ~5 seed.

16 would be the last 4 seed wouldn’t it?
