Something we take for granted is that this team will go down with the best SEC Tourny teams AU has put out. With Bruce, we will never again have a season without a double bye meaning 3 games is a max number of wins when we win the tourney on the reg

Ever? Yes. More than once every 30 years? Probably not.

Double bye means you only can play 3 games. Auburn can't win 4

Didn't think about the tournament format. So no more than 3 will never happen

Next year, if we win 3 games, we'll have won the tournament.

When did they reformat the tourney? I rember in 2009 we were a 2 seed but only got a single BYE.

The lower seeded teams really have a disadvantage.

A little ahead of yourself there buddy. Under Coach Pearl no we won't win more than 3. Starting in 2017 tourney going forward we will be a top 4 seed getting the double bye under Pearl. The only opportunity I see is next year as the conference will be much improved and we won't be a top 4 seed IMO.

-Kentucky is Kentucky
-TAMU has a better recruiting class
-LSU has the #1 recruit in the nation & another 5* kid in their class
-Florida will get back to being Florida
-Arky ain't going anywhere

It will be tough to crack the top 4 next year so to win the tourney we will need to win more than 3 games.
