I think you want to get a bye, then play the next game easy. You don’t want to hit the dance after potentially 10 days off. Play, if you win great, lose….oh well. Make it to the championship game that way I think you play to win, but the rest of the games, treat like scrimmage.Wish we could just take a pass on the SECT, or just play our youth and get our legs ready for the dance.
Auburn plays Kentucky at Auburn. Auburn does come here to play us. Outside of that game their schedule is very favorable for a regular season championship. Auburn’s next 2 games are road games at Bama and at Miss St. If they go 2-0 they’ll run away with the SEC regular season title. 1-1 or 0-2 and we have a shot. We have to beat Auburn and at worst split Kentucky.I believe Tennessee, Auburn and Kentucky are all Final 4 good. One factor favoring the Vols is that they play Auburn at home, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure where Auburn-Kentucky is played. Auburn won't lose a single home game , and I'm hoping the Vols won't either.
Winning the regular season title in the SEC will Garner a 1 seed or at worst a 2. The NCAA bracket will basically be set at that level before Sunday's conference title game in the tournamentIf I had a choice, I think regular season championships mean more personally. SEC tournament is fun for fans. So, I’m picking the Vols to win the regular season championship with a record of 14-4. You can never go against a media prediction, right? lol. Go Vols! Beat Vandy!
Tennessee and Auburn only play once. That’s in Knoxville. That could be pivotal. We have to hold serve at home and steal some on the road. Tuscaloosa, College Station, and Fayetteville are all crucial.
