2025 Seed Watch Party Thread

[bleedingTNorange]

The 7 seeds are going to be hell this year, we deff want off the 2 line

Hear me out, maybe we want a 7 seed instead?

I guess the committee this year HAS to take into account the full SEC tournament.

Because if for instance, whoever wins it doesn’t get the 1 seed, it’d be a PR nightmare for the committee.

I also hope there are no poisonous spiders in our uniforms. That would be bad.

I mean, which coach is responsible for checking this? Surely Barnes knows that poisonous spiders in the uni is bad. Huge fail on our staff to overlook this.

If Florida and Bama lose tonight are the Vols back in the 1 seed driver seat with our quad 1 win today?

Only if we beat Auburn tomorrow.

Yes, but the battery is dead.

Agree, that's the only scenario to get a #1, imo

I tend to agree. Florida & Bama currently have one thing we don’t - a win over Auburn. We need that one tomorrow.

The bad news is today’s game dropped us from 1st to 3rd in defensive efficiency. The good news is it also improved our offensive efficiency from 25th to 18th. Thats a massive jump from one game this late in the year. Final 4 here we come!

The Louisville win last night guaranteed we will have to face possibly Gonzaga or Kansas in the 2nd round. We better somehow figue out Hunter Dickinson

You’ve become the Andy Kauffman of the basketball forum. It’s either the saddest honest portrayal of a doomed fan, or the most brilliant piece of performance digital troll art of all time.

Lunardi has changed his tune (again). “Whoever advances the farthest” gets the final 1-seed was fiction. Turns out he meant to add “whoever advances the farthest between Florida and Alabama”. So us winning today would mean basically nothing.

No it didn’t. Nobody has seen the bracket.

Two takes here, either don’t buy any of this as fact, such as “Indiana has been re-evaluated” like they weren’t being evaluated before today. OR, that was a slip of the tongue (pen) and he’s repeating something a committee member told him.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

I’ve decided I don’t care about a 1 seed anymore. All the ifs buts just make me mad. I do however still want to beat auburn.

Read this post without even looking at who posted it. Then I knew who posted it without even needing to look.

I don’t care what that stupid Lunardi says, we win tomorrow we deserve the 1

 

[VolCalls]

I think this secures, at worst, the top #2 seed and a trip to Lexington.

 

[Jonboy]

I don't for a second believe they'll actually give it to us based on how they've treated conference tourney games in the past. But IF we win tomorrow, that would give us a 2-1 record against FL OR a 2-0 record against Bama. How can the committee tell TN with a straight face that the team you beat twice is getting the 1 over you?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Rick knows.

 

[TheDirector]

If Florida wins vs Alabama I can see the argument that they get the last #1 seed. If Bama wins and then we beat Bama, we will have the same conference record, better overall record and better KenPom than Bama. Plus a 2-0 record heads up. What am I missing? You could easily flip the last 1 seed and first 2 seed if you are the committee.

 

[Dougie_D]

I can’t imagine the argument of an SEC champ winner NOT being a number 1 seed
