In thinking about all this something I realized is that in my time of watching UGA hoops (mid 90s to now) the committee has been pretty generous to the Dawgs. Tubby's second year in Athens (96-97) we got a 3 seed when most of the speculation was that we'd be a 5 or 4. Then you had Harrick's 01-02 team that made the tournament with I think a 17-15 record. We did have the #1 strength of schedule, but that was still a 50/50 chance of us getting in if I remember correctly.
Even Fox's second year I felt we got a pretty good break getting that 10 seed when we seemed like one of the last teams that was gonna get in, and we faced Washington in the first round up in Charlotte which was obviously a break for us.
Not saying we didn't deserve those seedings, but in hindsight the committee has treated UGA well in recent years. Not that I think that has anything to do with what happens this season. I'd love to get a 7 seed for sure though.

IMO, it all depends on what happens with our competition as much as it does us. For the sake of my argument I'm going to say that we win out.
Right now we are the #5 seed in the SECT, meaning in the semi final we play Kentucky. LSU will probably be beaten by Arkansas which gives us the #4 seed. The #4 seed still has us playing Kentucky in the Semi's. If Texas A&M loses to Florida or Alabama this week, LSU loses, and we win out we are the 3 seed.
If we are the #3, #6, or #7 seed we wont see Kentucky until the SEC Championship game. If we are the #4 or #5 seed we will see them in the Semi's.
If we want a higher seed in the tournament we have to beat Kentucky, and we need Alabama to beat A&M and Arky to beat LSU. Then we have Kentucky in the Championship game. If we can beat Kentucky right before the SEC championship game and we are playing for a championship anything can happen in the SEC tourney.
Also, its worth noting that if we are the #5, #6, or #7 seed it will take 4 games to win the SEC championship where as the #3 or #4 seed will take 3 games. I think if we went 3-1 that'd increase our seeding. Just my opinion though.
