Funny. I usually focus on matchups, but this is one year when I think the matchups are easiest if you are the # 1 seed, then # 2 seed, then # 3 seed, then # 4 seed. Nothing weird about it. For the first round, I'd rather play A&M/FL than SC/MSU and SC/MSU than Alabama, and Alabama than LSU.
Not for me. IMO the easiest double bye is MSU/SC vs TN. Neither SC or MSU puts any concern with me.
I know the numbers have to add up but I think it’s funny that two teams have a negative percent chance of winning the championship. How does that work exactly? Like one of the players is going to score a basket for the opponent then declare a forfeit?
It’s interesting that UK has the best chance to win the championship (if they make it that far) after having the second best shot of making the finals and third best in the semi’s.

Haha, I think they’re saying less than a 0.01% chance. Negative would probably be appropriate in this case as well though.

The thing I was referring to was the comment about the best chance to win the finals if we get there.

Ahh, gotcha.
I've seen that before plenty of times. In this situation it makes sense because many of the computer rankings have Kentucky ranked as a stronger team than Auburn. But Kentucky's opponent is much stronger than Auburn's opponent. So the chance of Kentucky beating a much tougher opponent then Auburn beating a lesser opponent is not as good. But if Kentucky and Auburn meet in the finals, Kentucky is a stronger team and is more likely to win, hence the overall percentage.
If we win the tournament, that will most likely be 3 more Q1 wins. Every game would be against top 25 opponents, assuming favorites win.
If Vandy got hot, there’d be a chance to pick up another one, with them sitting at #78. Picking up 3 more is our max, though, but more than 1 way to get them.
I still do not trust the committee automatically giving preferential seeding to us over Auburn by the outcome of 1 game, when they consistently tell us it’s the entire body of work. If we beat Auburn that only knocks out their h2h advantage, but would still have the better record and more Q1/Q2 wins, which is obviously their #1 criteria.

Whatever happens on Sunday won't factor in, even if it's a win over Auburn. But if we can beat Bama then UT AND Auburn loses before the final, I think we can get a 1 seed.
If UK and Auburn both make the final, gonna be hard to get a 1 seed without some chaos. They shouldn't be ahead of us, but I think they will.

is an elimination game. Longest lasting person wins. List the SEC teams in order from most likely to win to least likely. Whoever last longest wins. Tie
