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.

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).
