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

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).
