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.

Just to let you know, we cannot be the #7 seed in the SECt. I couldn't care less about playing Kentucky in the semis vs championship game. I'd rather play UK in the semis and lose to them, then potentially losing to Arkansas or TAMU....
Like I said, if we win out and lose in the semis, we will be a 6 seed....maybe a 7.
My guess is we lose to Uk, beat Auburn, win one in Nashville, then lose. Take an 9 seed with Virginia being the 1 seed if we beat the 8.
I'm very excited that we are going to make the tourny this year with a chance to make it to the 2nd round. Obviously it would be ideal not to play a #1 seed, but oh well. At least we made it!!!
