No one knows, it's a mystery.

We’ll be the 1 seed

 

[golfballs]

In all likelihood the 1 seed will be either Auburn or us. Kentucky had almost no chance since theyve lost to us, Auburn and Arkansas. Arkansas has a slight chance, but would need a few upsets.

Tournament Tiebreakers

So from this it would be a coin flip by commissioner? Am I ready that correctly?

Here is how it would be Tennessee, Kentucky, and Auburn all tie then the first tiebreaker would be head to head of all three teams Tennessee 2 and 1, Auburn 1 and 1, Kentucky 1 and 2 so Auburn and Tennessee is the one seed.

 

[JoAllan]

I believe it will all be moot anyway; however the second tie breaker should definitely move to a straight up heads up………after the 3 way heads up.

Here is how it would be Tennessee, Kentucky, and Auburn all tie then the first tiebreaker would be head to head of all three teams Tennessee 2 and 1, Auburn 2 and 1, Kentucky 1 and 2 so Auburn and Tennesse tie coin flip. We need Kentucky to lose to get it to us and Auburn then were the number one.

Auburn only played Kentucky and Tennessee once apiece, meaning their record is 1-1. Doesn't that give us the tie break with our 2-1 record?

Yes. Tennessee would be #1 seed in SEC tourney if we beat Arky and Auburn losses one more game. Also would be co conference champs. If we win and Aub wins out we would be #2 seed.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

TN v KY (1-1)
TN v Aub (1-0)
KY v Aub (0-1)

3-way head to head:

TN 2-1
KY 1-2
Aub 1-1

I believe #1 would only be for bragging rights, the top 4 all have a good seeding in the SEC Championship. However, in the NCAA Tournament, it makes a big difference. Winning the regular season and the SEC Championship could sneak UT into a #1 seed...jmo.

First, I do not think we want the 'burden' of a #1 seed.
Second, I do not see any realistic path to a #1 seed.
I would be giddy with a #2 seed ... we have to win the next 4 games to get that ticket. Likely means we have to beat Arkansas twice in a week ... think about that ... and then we have to beat Auburn or Kentucky twice in a row. That Vol fans would be the stuff of legends. First SECT title in over 40 years!

No. Once you eliminate a team from the 3-way tie, you go back to the 2-way tie provisions.

If they use the football coin it has Alabama on both sides . Rumor is the basketball coin has UK on both sides of the coin .

whatever our seed ends up let’s win that darn SEC tournament and end the horrible jinx.

Hopefully they win both a lot of fans on this board are starving for that kind of national success.

Vols would be SEC Champs

 

[VolDaddy61]

Beat Arkansas and win the conference tournament, and you'd be hard pressed to not have them as a #1 seed.

 

[casetopia]

I wish both of tonight's games weren't on at the exact same time. Auburn vs Miss St. & Ark vs LSU

 

[TennVols12]

No. We’d be 1.

One would prefer NOT being the #4 seed, which is almost certainly drawing #5 Bama. I'll agree with you on any of the rest.

Uh.. I think they are talking about #1 seed in the SECT.

 

[VolPack22]

Has the SEC ever had a 3 way tie for co-champs?

 

[wmcovol]

Main thing you want to stay away from is the late Friday night game. Usually don’t tip until 10pm and then gotta come back at 2:30 pm on Sat. I think the #3 seed gets that honor.
