How the HELL is Auburn ahead of Tennessee and Kentucky?
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).

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