Any Chance 6 SEC teams dance?

The selection committee will have their brackets the day before the SEC championship. Win two and we are more than likely in.

In the past 4 out of 5 years there have been 5 SEC teams in the tournament. The one year there wasn't there were 3.

6 is possible but highly doubtful

Ole Miss isnt close imo. UT can get in if the win 2. And Bama needs one.

Ole miss is listed as a bubble team. Unfortunately if they were to make it that means UT lost its second game.

Bama can lose 1st game and be in. You don't go from a 8 seed to out with ONE loss.

Question for you all. Do you think if you all got 5th with at 9-7 having lost to us rather than beating us. You win thursday, Friday, and Sat which would get you to 20 wins, rather than winning 2 and losing in the SECT championship as the 2 seed which makes you only have 19 wins.

I know it's one game, but 20 seems to be kind of a magic number.

Or do you think the way it is now is more in your favor?

I can see 6 teams making it. The most obvious is for someone else to come out of the UK side of the bracket, say LSU, and win the auto bid by beating either UT or Miss St in the finals.

A more reasonable scenario would be Bama beating Florida, they would both be in. Miss St beats UGA and upsets Vandy. Vandy is already in and beating them might be enough to get Miss ST back in the field. Then if UT beats Ole Miss/Auburn winner and the Miss St, they have a good shot at being in too. Of course UK is a lock. So that would be 6.

I have been trying to keep up but can't catch every game but I am pretty sure that all the smaller conference schools that would receive an at large anyway have managed to also get their auto-bid, at least do far. This means the bubble is still pretty big, soft and comfy. As long as those conference tourneys stay chalk, it means more bubble teams from power conferences are going to make it, which is great for UT.

Its extremely misguided to take conference numbers into any kind of consideration. The committee doesn't look at it that way, they evaluate on a team by team basis, not a conference by conference basis

THEY SURE ARE GOING BY CONFERENCE when it comes to the big least who they are saying 10 teams get into dance.and also a couple of those teams are 8 -10 in big east including uconn who have lost 8 of 12 including at tennessee.while most of us on here just hoping vols get in the ncaa tourney.while the vols are 9 and 1 in last 20/

If UT had lost to Vandy they would have been 16-14 (D-1 games only). So winning three in the tourney would still have left them at 19 wins. The only way to 20 before the finals was to beat Vandy and have not gotten the bye.

I just don't see Bama being left out even if they lose. They are projecting at about a 10 seed right now. I can't see 1 game taking a team with their resume and moving them down 3+ seed lines and out of the tourney.

Edit: Lunardi actually has them at 33 on his s-curve. Even less likely they slide out of the tourny from there.

ah, forgot about that chaminade win in maui, personally if they are participating in a D-1 tournament the win should count.
