They keep saying that this SEC tournament will help decide the number one seeding in NCAA, but I don't recall that ever helping us with it.

Lunardi has basically said the final 1 seed is between us, Florida, and Bama. And whoever goes furthest in Nashville is likely to get it.

Thinking about taking family to the game on Friday. Any advice on tickets? Could I do better buying on site after the auburn game starts or should I go ahead and pay the $175 I found online?

That’s when they’re announced. That’s not the same as when the decisions are made and the bracket is set.

It’s been stated many times by committee chairs over the years that the bracket is set before the SEC championship is over so it’s not considered.

The committee chair literally said the opposite of this. He said they would build scenarios based on championship outcomes.

So, the decision is sort of made, but there is a “winner” “loser” placeholder waiting to be replaced with a team.

This does require the the championship be two of the 4,5,6 (national seed) teams as it relates to the SECT.

Need Georgia to come back and win this game.
I don't want to lose that Quad 1 win we have over them.

Also, Ohio State lost in first day of the Big 10 Championship to Iowa, so Texas knocking on the door of making it in the NCAAT. Hopefully that will motivate them to beat A&M.

I want the winner to be the most capable of beating Alabama. I think that’s Kentucky especially behind that home crowd they’ll have. If there’s still a shot at a 1-seed even if it’s a long shot, I’d think we want Bama and Florida to lose to middle of the pack SEC teams rather than getting a win in the tournament under their belt.

Sure or we can just go win the whole damn thing that would mean beating Auburn and a top 6 Bama or Florida

Has that dude been exiled from the SEC after the hack job he gave Tennessee against LSU? Is he even still officiating?

He did a 1st Round game in the Sun Belt last week (but interestingly no other games in that tournament, presumably because he sucks). I could be mistaken, but I believe that jackwagon even got to do SEC games again after that dox.

Unreal. I don't know how any supervisor of officials brings him into their association if they take an objective look at that game he called between Tennessee and LSU with a conference championship on the line.

Old man in the middle of the night question.

Why with 16 teams are we using the current format instead of NORMAL seeding where every team has same number of games?

WED 1-4 play 13-16, THUR 5-8 play 9-12 and pick up right where we are on FRI. Top seeds rewarded with 1 day off not 2. ASSUMING 8 games on day 1 is not practical.

Did we just morph from the 14 team format?

Sorry if this is old and settled and I missed it.

They always say that they want to draw interest in the tournaments. Their brackets are drawn as we speak, and the only changes they will make are when an unseeded team wins the automatic bid.

Most conferences do it this way, even if they have 16 teams. For one thing, it rewards teams at the top for doing well, especially in smaller conferences with more on the line in the conference tournament. Secondly, if you had 1 v 16, 2 v15, etc, you would either have to play at multiple arenas to get the games in where everyone plays on the same day, or you'd still be giving certain teams a big advantage by getting a day off while you get the 2nd half slate of games in.

Personally, I'd be fine with excluding teams that finished below 12th in the standings and run with a 12-team format where the top 4 get a 1st round bye. But obviously they're going to squeeze every dollar out they can.
