For those that say the conference tourney results doesn't matter - when Tennessee wins it, you all will be the one complaining loudly if Bama or Florida is still a one seed and Tennessee isn't.

The truth is if the semi's end up with the top 4 teams, Auburn, Tennessee, Florida and Alabama it SHOULD make a difference. That said, the committee will know sometime Saturday who is playing in the game on Sunday.

If it is Auburn verses Florida or Bama - that is your two number 1 seeds - the other two are 2 seeds. Though St Johns could be a spoiler.

If it is Tennessee and Florida or Bama - the seeding becomes more conditional on what happens on Sunday. Tennessee beat both of those teams the last time they played them - not sure how they would explain a #1 seed Florida or Bama over a #2 Tennessee if Tennessee wins that game. And why should Auburn be a higher seed than either of the three as they would have lost to each of those teams in the last game played?

Of course, the top 4 could decide - it doesn't matter - my seed is my seed, and all lose in the quarterfinals. That in my opinion - if the committee really considered results should push ALL SEC teams to 2 seeds especially if St Johns and Michigan State win their respective tourneys. I know it will not happen because folks believe AUBURN is all that - but they no longer look unbeatable.

This is all plausible except for the end of your 4th paragraph. The entire season is what warrants seeding, not just 2-3 games against top 5 teams who may have beaten you. Auburn will be the overall #1 seed because of their dominant season - both according to the metrics and the fact they have so many more Quad One wins than anyone else in the country. Plus they won the SEC title going away.

But if you interchanged Auburn and Tennessee, I would almost guarantee you we would be on the brink of being a 2 seed right now due to losing 2 in a row.

It is the entire season and that includes the last week.

If we were 16-4 in Quad One games and won the SEC going away like they did? Baloney - that’s just BVS.
