To help secure the longshot of a double-bye or at least for the best seeding possible?

Of the games that matter:

Kentucky vs. Texas A&M - Kentucky

Mizzou @ Oklahoma - Oklahoma (OU is actually a 2.5 point favorite) - an OU win would give Mizzou 7 losses

Bama @ UGA - Probably Bama, right? A Bama win would give UGA 9 losses so we would finish ahead of them no matter what

TN @ South Carolina- USC but obviously no one thinks that will happen, although Nate Ament is out

Texas (9-7) @ Arkansas (11-5) - Who are we rooting for there? Arkansas to knock Texas down another loss?

I actually like the bracket as it sits right now. Swapping spots with Missouri would be a minor improvement, but not much else I’d change.

I love the idea of a revenge opportunity against Mizzou on Friday, but would rather be the more well-rested team!

Having to play Florida again with 2 games under our belt already almost ensures a blowout in my opinion.

Clearly Kentucky and Oklahoma are the big ones.

Ideally you would want to finish the year with the same record as Tennessee to help with any 3 way tie breakers though it might not matter pending teams but since we have no idea if we will win vs Florida we root for South Carolina.

We root for Ole Miss over Vanderbilt.

I think the Texas at Arkansas game will depend on if we beat A&M or not. If we beat A&M we clearly root for Texas.

Also tricky is the final game Missouri is at Arkansas and pending on how we do our last 2 will depend on how we root there.

I would settle for just Kentucky winning over A&M and whatever else happens happens to be honest.

Kentucky is a 1.5 dog at the moment

If only we had won that Auburn game.

Kentucky is 25 at Kenpom and A&M is 38.

Auburn and Mizzou games in partial are looming large since we practically had both of those games WON.

Hurts quite a bit to think about.
