I think we are currently fifth

[DawgatAuburn]

If I've applied the tiebreakers correctly, this is how SEC tournament seeding stands with two to play.

1 Auburn
2 UT
3 Florida
4 Kentucky
5 STATE
6 Arkansas
7 Missouri
8 Bama
9 Georgia
10 LSU
11 Texas A&M
12 USC
13 Ole Miss
14 Vandy


So there's A&M sitting at 11, playing on Wednesday night, yet projected into the tournament.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

That's blows my mind. Some of the reasoning these teams being in is asinine.

 

[FlotownDawg]

There is a non conference part of the schedule the committee looks at too. A&M has some big non conference wins. That’s why they’re in. Conference standings mean little to nothing to the committee. They look at who you played and who you beat.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

And PTL we are assured of not playing on Wednesday night. UGA and A&M play this week, so one of them will get loss #10.

 

[MSUDC11]

A&M has one more Q1 win than us and is two games below .500 in conference play. You’ve played a tough schedule, cool. You have to actually win games, too.

Their signature win so far is Kentucky. But their other big wins are games that we also won (Arkansas and Mizzou), and their win against West Virginia is not a better RPI win than our win in College Station. If we beat Tennessee on Tuesday and get our signature win, there’s no way in heck A&M deserves a spot over us.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Finishing 11th in your conference should be a strike against you.

Which means we finally get to participate in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge next year, too.

It won’t happen, but I’m praying somehow they decide to send Kansas to The Hump.

I got money right now that says we get Iowa State.

If its for the reason I’m thinking you mean, it would be pointless. Malik likely declares after this season. Horatio gonna see to it that he gets to finally do what he’s wanted him to do for 3 years.

I don’t really care about Malik. I want to watch us play the most consistent college basketball program of the last 15 years in The Hump. It would be the equivalent of Ohio State coming to DWS.

I doubt it happens, though. Fully expecting a road game in Waco or Ames.

SECN had us as the 6 seed

UK was the fifth.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Well they are stupid. All of those teams have played each other once.

Florida is 3-0.
Kentucky is 2-1.
We are 1-2.
Arkansas is 0-3.

That's as easy as it ever gets on tiebreakers.

Scoring 12 tonight. Not sure that's NBA ready

I’m not saying anything about readiness. I’m talking about a dude who was consdered a one and done coming out of high school and his dad making sure he “goes to finally get his”. Do you really think he’s still gonna be at Kansas in 2020? Because that is when his eligibility runs out.

Everybody knows aTm would boat race us if we played. Oh Wait..nm

If the committee looks at this on paper it'll be hard to argue keeping us out. Might as well be on probation.

 

[SpeckTaker]

Hell. If they just watch actual games we pass the eye test over them.

This reminds me- I really wish there was an SEC/B1G challenge in football.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

We just have to look at every game as a NCAA Tourney game....

If he wants a degree before he ends up playing in Europe he will stay in Kansas until then.

Unless I did something wrong, it looks like we can finish no worse than fourth if we win out.

I think it will be. The committee isn’t going to just blindly go with RPI. I think A&M needs a couple of wins just like we do.

 

[mstateglfr]

Being 5th would be great. Better chance at winning a conference tournament game for our record.

Record isn't the issue. Must have quality wins. A quarterfinal win over Georgia or Ole Miss won't help. Tennessee is a must win.

 

[dawgstudent]

Being 4th or better in the #1 conference in the land will get us in regardless. I'd rather be top 4.
