Vandy has come a long way since losing by 20 at Mizzou. Kevin Stallings' teams would be sliding by this point in the season. Not used to Vandy peaking in Feb/Mar.

So auburn is in if there is no upsets to the regular season champs in the conference tourneys in the one bid leagues? Good luck with that.


We are on the borderline. Last season there were 9 upsets of regular season champs that affected the NIT field so if that stays the same this season any 8 or 7 seed plus the lowest 6 seed would not make the tournament. We still have work to do but we are still in decent shape.

Two weeks ago, I really enjoyed these threads. Now....not so much. But kudos to you for keeping the information flowing.

Lunardi has UGA first four out? WTF is he thinking?

We have a lot of close top 50 wins, but close doesn't go in the WIN column.

UGA needs to win out and 2 in the SECT to have a chance

While true, if the Vols manage to win out (at LSU, home to Bama) they would be 16-14 with a top 10 SOS...very similar to Vandy (but still a notch below the Dores)

TN has to win out and go to the finals of the SEC tourney to even have a chance. Dores have a much better chance, but they have a lot of work to do also

If Vandy splits this week it would guarantee a top 60 RPI and give Dores 5 top 50 wins. Since tourney expanded in 2011 to 68 teams no team has missed with that resume...those extra four teams make sure a difference on the bubble.

If Georgia didn't fumble away Oakland in part due to Mark Fox stubbornness, the resume wouldn't really be that much worse than 2015 and that got in. (Seth Emerson is the reference)

If Georgia happens to win out (I don't think so, despite what I've said, no Maten will likely finally hurt in the final regular season game), I think they play Vanderbilt and it might be a play in game to the NCAA tournament play in game.

I get that it's just projections, but we shouldn't be a higher projected seed than arkansas at all

UGA is actually First Four Out on USA Today. They fouled up and put Georgia Tech twice, but one is suppose to be UGA.

Not that I agree with it

Arkansas is projected higher now than before that loss.

Arkansas has enough quality wins that the bad loss is canceled out. Add to that it was a road game, and overall in league play arkansas is 6-2 on the road in league play.

Yep. At this point hawgeye, do you see our seed changing much? I think we are basically a lock for the 8/9. IF we somehow/someway beat Florida, does this vault us to a possible 7?

I think they can move into a 7 seed. Doing so is going to require....

A) Finishing 2-0 in regular season
B) Finishing 1-1 in regular season and going 2-1 in SECt
C) Going 0-2 in regular season and winning SECt

I like B and think Arkansas will be around that 7 mark come selection time.
