SEC tournament seeding possibilities

Crimson1967 · Mar 7, 2013

1. Florida 14-4
2. Kentucky 12-6
3. Ole Miss 12-6
4. Alabama 12-6
5. Tennessee 11-7
6. Missouri 11-7
7. Missouri 10-8
8. Georgia 9-9
9. LSU 9-9
10. Vanderbilt 8-10
11. Texas A&M 7-11
12. South Carolina 4-14
13. Mississippi State 4-14
13. Barn U. 3-15.

So we could very well have a five way tie for second. We went 2-3 against this group. We beat Kentucky and split with Tennessee. but since Tennessee beat Florida, if we were tied with them, they'd top us since they had beaten the #1 team. (I think that is how it works).

Trying to figure out all the combinations of where we could be seeded gives me a headache. someone with more time and patience can try to sort them out. A four way tie for second gives us a 1-2 mark with the tied teams and Kentucky is the least likely winner, so if we beat Georgia and it is a four way tie, it looks like we'd be fourth seed and would get the #5 seed (Kentucky or Tennessee) in the quarterfinals and then Florida if we win that game.

It will be an interesting Saturday. right now we don't know what any first round matchups will be. The best we can say is USCe gets the Barn-MSU winner.

This tournament is going to be interesting, to say the least. Out of Florida and the field, I pick the field... and that truly could be anybody. I could easily see Missouri and Ole Miss losing this weekend. It's strange to want to cheer for LSU and Tennessee, but I'll be doing it

Isn't tennessee a bubble team though? Should we pulling for them? I guess if we don't want to play Florida before the finals.. Right? But still I think we'll have to get through them eventually..

The only way we're making the NCAA tournament now is by winning the SEC tournament. We need as high of a seed as we can get and pray someone else knocks Florida off

You are wrong. If we make it to the finals we are in....maybe the semis...depending on who else loses.

We need mizzou to beat UT, LSU to beat Ole Miss, Florida to beat UK

If we win and both OM and UM win we're 4 seed.
If we win and OM or UM loses we're 3 seed.
If we win and both OM and UM lose 2 seed.
If we lose and both UK and UT lose 4 seed
We need to win
We hold the tiebreaker on UK
Edit
If we lose, UK loses, and UT wins we would be on 3rd tiebreaker with UT for 4 seed?

Here are the SEC standings according to ESPN. I'll post an updated bracket with these standings in a minute. Every whistle tomorrow will be scrutinized because of the impact of the tournament seeding.

Looking at the updated list on this site, I got this bracket:

ALA2262 · Mar 8, 2013

With the UK loss to UGA last night it is now a 4 way tie for second. However, nothing changed. It is still UK, MO, UM, and UA, in that order.

2. Missouri 11-6 @Tennessee
Ole Miss 11-6 @LSU
Alabama 11-6 vs. Georgia
Kentucky 11-6 vs. Florida

That smells like Alabama may still end up #2. Not that it matters...

Mizzou won't get the calls in Knoxville, nor will Ole Miss in Baton Rouge. Bama holds the tie breaker over Kentucky, so Bama getting the #2 is very likely.

Good ole ESPN! Listed by Overall record. Which has nothing to do with it! UK is second, MO is third , UM is fourth, and Bama is fifth.

Unfortunately, we can't say the same about UGA getting the calls in Tuscaloosa.

Overall, Bama wins the foul battle in Tuscaloosa. Bama hasn't won it like other teams, though.

Basketball has always been my favorite sport. I am very close to being done with it because of officiating. Have always expected it (officiaing) to be bad, and something to overcome by just being better. But it is way beyond bad now. It is way beyond terrible.

Crimson1967 · Mar 8, 2013

If Tennessee beats Missouri and the other tied teams all lose, we have a five way tie for second. The records among these teams would be......

Mississippi 4-2
Kentucky 3-2
Tennessee 3-4
Missouri 2-3
Alabama 2-3

We lost to Missouri, so we'd get the #6 seed and play the 11/14 winner on Thursday. We'd also get sixth if we lose, Tennessee beats Missouri and Kentucky and Ole Miss win (creating a three way tie for fourth and two way for second). Tennessee would be fourth and Missouri fifth. Kentucky would be #2 and Ole Miss #3.

Crimson1967 · Mar 9, 2013

Kentucky upsets Florida to boost their tourney hopes and hurt ours. LSU is up early on the Black Bears, so we should know more about our seeding possibility when we tip off.

day-day · Mar 9, 2013

If Bama wins but still falls to #6 in SEC tourny will it help in the sense that Bama can get an additional win or two in he SEC tournamen?

Crimson1967 · Mar 9, 2013

If we win and both Missouri and Ole Miss when we'd be #5. That means we'd have to play in the second round against the winner of the 12/13 game.

If we win and Missouri only win we'd be in a three way tie for second. The head to head between us and MO and UK was 1-1. Both of them beat Florida and we did not, so I think we'd be #4 in that scenario.

If we win and Ole Miss only wins, we are all still at 1-1. Kentucky gets #2 by beating Florida and we drop to #4 since we lost to Ole Miss.

If we in and both the Ms lose, we are #2 since we beat Kentucky.
