If we won the SEC, how high of a seed would we get for the NCAA Tournament?

[Special Ed]

Not off the bubble.
Not on the bubble.
Maybe inside the bubble.

 

[LittleCat]

Add 4 wins to Tennessee, a win over UF and UK/Missouri and compare it to creightons resume.

Better yet, how about comparing it to Missouri's resume.

I don't do the math, so I'll take your word for it.

 

[RollerVol]

Better than that, I think.

Me too. If we actually won the SECT I'm thinking at least a 8 or 9.
GO VOLS!

 

[utknate]

I see it as this

1 win- we miss NCAA T
2 wins- 12 seed or a potential miss if bama,ky, ole miss do well
3 wins - 9 seed
Win it all- 7 seed

I think this is way wrong.

0 wins- miss the tourney
1 win- sweating bullets, all dependent on other bubble teams, but I'd say 70% still getting in as last 1-2 in.
2 wins- Locked it up, no matter what anyone else does. probably a 12 but maybe an 11.
3 wins- I will consider this a GREAT season considering everything no matter what happens afterwards, probably an 11 seed safely, possibly 10.
Win the T- Anywhere from 7-9

7-10 seed pending a stellar performance in the SEC Tourney bring home some hardware.

 

[TBtheGBwiththeTD]

If we beat USC, Bama, Florida and UK/Mizzou all on a neutral floor? I could see an 8 maybe 7? More likely 10-8 though

 

[Giveem6]

10 to 7 or better is a huge difference people. Going from a bubble team to 7 seed would be tremendous.

Wins over UF and UK would be huge. But would they make UTs resume as good (or nearly) as Memphis, Creighton, Butler, Notre Dame, UCLA, and all the other 6-7 seeds? Some of them are questionable, but imo UT can't get close to 6-7 seed.

Memphis resume sure is impressive with their big wins over SM smdh

True, they're never tested in conference. But this year they managed to avoid a lot of losses.

 

[PowerSweep]

Yup...that's what I think also, although with the crazy #2 seed we caught the yr we lost to wichita st, wtf knows?

7-8

 

[PowerSweep]

Living in Memphis and seeing them play they really meet the eye test and looked great against the big orange but I think they're going to be surprised when they see on selection sunday they were only 6-8 spots from missing the field...I say 10-11 seed. Pastner is scheduling like a very insecure coach.

If we win 2 in the SECT, Bama can't do well...

 

[miggy4vols]

Lunardi would put us at a play-in game if it was up to him.

 

[PowerSweep]

Yeah...he hates the vols

6-7

lay off the crank

No way. They're in the top 20 in RPI.

 

[LittleCat]

No way. They're in the top 20 in RPI.

Rpi can be very deceiving.

i.e Belmont, MTSU.

 

[VolGee4]

No way. They're in the top 20 in RPI.

They are better this year, but they were a 12 RPI last year and were in the 8-9 game.

Somehow they have 11 top 100 wins, but 6 are over teams in the 90's. They have 2 top 50 wins over the same team. I think they might get 6-7 seed this year.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

6-7

no

Memphis has a bit more a pedigree than Belmont or MTSU. Plus, Memphis at least ran the table in their conference.

They win their tourney I could see a 7, they lose early and they'll plummet to about 10 or 11.
