We DESERVE a 2 Seed!

Love seeing Lunardi getting bashed by the national media over his "Vols are still a 3 seed" stance. We are 2-1 against UK with identical records, who he gives a 2 seed. Our season wins are significantly better. How can he justify that? Sheer stupid stubbornness.

Does our win today really not count? I think the championship game was being played about 4:00 before, but now that we got our game over plenty early, there is no reason why they can't compare our record to Kentucky, etc., and put us where we belong, IMO.

I feel like we *SHOULD* solidly be a 2 seed in spite of all these bad "bracketologists" saying we're a 3.

If we beat Texas back in January, maybe we're in the 1 seed discussion, but remember, we did have a loss to Villanova, which probably puts them ahead of us.

That said, outside of Gonzaga, Arizona, Baylor, Kansas, and 'Nova, I can't see a good argument for any other team above us. We just beat Kentucky 2 out of 3 times, including 1 on a neutral court. We won the SEC tournament. We beat Arizona and Auburn. On most ratings, we had a top 10 SOS. Our NET ranking is #8 and Houston (#3) and Kentucky (#5) are two of the teams above us, so we should probably be #6 on that. Most of the teams people are trying to put above us make no sense (e.g. Duke, which looked weaker down the stretch and is rated below us on virtually every relevant rating system in existence).

Tennessee finished SEC play 17-4, including the tournament. Auburn finished 15-4. Kentucky finished 15-5. It’s pretty clear overall who the best team is over the course of the season and RIGHT NOW.

Couldn't believe what Lunardi actually said. First, Kentucky and Auburn will still be seeded ahead of us. When it was pointed out that we finished second in regular season, he goes, "well, tied for second." But what killed me was he said that Auburn and Kentucky had been ranked ahead of us all season and the committee will consider that more important than the events of the last week.

Then he said Texas A&M won't get a bid.

That is such BS. I thought one of the big factors was supposed to be your win/loss numbers in your last 10 games. Vols 9-1 with 2 wins over UK, 1 over Auburn and 1 over Ark., all top 15 and 2 top 5.
