Who should have gotten seeded ahead of Vanderbilt and where should Vanderbilt have been seeded? They're #18 in the AP poll which puts them at a 5 seed if that's the guide.
Vandy's "competition in the beginning" wasn't great but it was decent. Vanderbilt played the third hardest non-conference...
Vanderbilt is #12 in the RPI. That would put them at a 3 seed.
They went 10-6 in the SEC and won one in the SEC tournament so they won at least 3 away from Nashville.
