Uh...I sense bias. How the HELL is Auburn ahead of Tennessee and Kentucky?

I guess they must have a 0% chance.

Torvic has loved Auburn's efficiency on both sides of the court all year long. It's not the gospel...

It’s their metric. Ask them. They have Auburn #5 and Tennessee #6. Similar to KenPom which has Auburn #4 and Tennessee #5.

No bias. I read that Auburn’s 23-0 against Q2 & below teams + their strong avg margin of victory significantly offsets their 1-7 record vs Q1 teams according to Torvik’s formula.
TN is still Vegas’ favorite, but the Gators at +1800 are intriguing.

I am an Auburn fan and do not buy into this metric. Based on what I saw down the stretch Tennessee and Kentucky have the best chance to win the SEC tournament and I would put Auburn at #5 or #6.
The more important outcome will be to evaluate how these teams are playing going into the REAL tournament after this one.

Looks like MIZ > GA. Checks out.

Per their own metrics, South Carolina is ranked #39, Tennessee is #6, and Auburn is #5.
Mississippi State is #38, so Tennessee presumably has a more difficult first game than Auburn.
On the bottom half, Florida is ranked #22, Kentucky #20, and Alabama #15.
So their algorithm is suggesting that it's more likely they advance over #39 and #6, then face a lower-rated team in the championship game.
Auburn is the highest ranked SEC team in their system, but it's also in how the bracket is arranged statistically — finishing tied for second in wins doesn't necessarily make you the second-best team in the league (cough cough 'Cocks).

If you add the numbers, all of those bottom teams combine for 1%.
Georgia is 0 as 100.0 is accounted for.

Bama too high but I am hopeful.

That's amazing. The SEC as a whole has just moved leaps forward in NCAAM in the last few years.

But...but ... Kentucky is playing the best basketball at this point in time.
It's the Cats' tourney to lose
