Will we have played against 3 #1 seeds?

Along the same lines, has another team beaten the eventual NIT and NCAA winners twice during the regular season as the Vols did against South Carolina and Florida in 2006?

I think the highest seed possible is a 3 and thats winning out including conference tourney unless we were to meet kentucky in SEC title game and beat them. With 2 wins over KY could vault us to a 2. In all likely hood we will be a 5 or 6. i just dont see us winning out and regardless of how big the Kentucky game is I argue Florida is bigger as we need to finish at least 3rd in the east so if we play on first day we draw LSU.

Unless they only drop one more game and win the SEC tourney, i don't think they get a 3 seed. They're looking at a 4 or 5 more than likely. You really can't dodge many bullets in the NCAA tourney anyway. You either got what it takes or you go home.

Based on 2008 and 2009 seeds, I think that the selection committee seeds UT by how they play in the last two weeks of the season. UT got some high seeds in CBP's first two years based on the whole season but it seems the last two years the seed was based on the final two regular season games and the SEC tournament. The RPI should be high b/c UT plays FL, UK and MSU. They need to beat UK and ARK and split MSU/FLA, get to the semis in the tournament to have a chance at a 3 or 4 seed. Anything less and they would be a 4-6.

I don't really think it was necessary to post two separate threads that say exactly the same thing. But, hopefully the fact that we have played possibly 3 #1 seeds will help our seeding. But I think Purdue has to win the Big 10 tourney to get a #1, and I don't think they will. I think Ohio State will win that tourney.

Well, Purdue just beat Ohio State.
