Of course, but he is allowed to lobby before and point out that other teams have better resumes when other teams are being mentioned for seeds. That's how lobbying works. These people aren't sequestered from each other. They talk and make pleas to each other. I would much prefer ours be as strong as possible.



There’s a great article online talking about Mitch and last year’s committee meeting, it spells it out, he can’t talk about anything about UK’s seeding, it’s a great read.

I mean we can beleive that nothing gets mentioned if we want, but I think there is a pretty obvious reason AD want to be a part of it. I highly doubt its the experience of a lifetime or anything

If you had to pick, would you say there is or isn't?




Is anything run right in the world today? You would like to think so but it wouldn’t be a shock to me if only Mitch was doing it by the rules out of all the committee members, lol.

TENN trash
Yeah total trash.

Williams had ivy league offers and almost went to Harvard. He's extremely active in the community. He's a concert pianist, self-described nerd, used to be a nationally ranked chess player. He's taking 18 hours and will graduate in May after 3 years.

None of our leading scorers were in the top 100. All have busted their asses to get here.

No trouble from any player off the court ever...

Yeah total trash.

It's as likely we don't win out as it is for UT. Still, beating a #1 is better than beating any other. There is no scenario where it is not better to beat them as #1. Literally, not one.

This is only true if you value a win over a #1 UT more than an SEC title. This is exactly what I said when you first started arguing with me yet you seem to concede this point everywhere else in the thread.

Why would you not value a win over #1 more when it would mean more in the bigger picture? We could win the SEC because the other teams lose a bunch of games they shouldn't have, and all that does is makes winning the sec less impactful to potentially meaningless. Racking up wins against as many top rated teams as possible does far more than winning your conference if the best teams in conference underperformed. I honest to God don't understand how you can be so obtuse to the significance of each.

Not to mention the fact that UT losing to other teams isn't necessary for us to win the SEC. They can win all their other games and still lose the SEC to us if we take care of business. We are UK. We don't need our opponents losing games to ******** competition to help us out. We should be able to take care of them ourselves.

Buck-up buttercup! Lifes not about having the easiest way handed to you, it's about earning it!

I want a one seed. One seeds aren't handed out for regular season conference championships. They are handed out for having the best resumes (unless you're Duke/UNC). While those can go hand in hand, they aren't required. If UT loses to teams like Vandy, Bama and so forth, their rating across metrics will drop, as will the impact of a potential win against them. That doesn't mean it will be bad, but it does mean it will weaken it. If we truly want a one seed, we need all the teams we win and lose against to have the best resumes possible at the end of the year. That means not cheering for them to lose to weaker teams.

Winning conference championships is cute and all, but we have a **** ton of those. Wouldn't it be better to get another F4 or NC? And doesn't a one seed give you the best odds of that? Particularly when that one seed could have us play sw16 and elite 8 games in KY?
