Don't count your chickens, though. I'd be willing to bet one of the 5/6 seeds doesn't advance. It's the tourney! Just win, baby!

Hopefully Mississippi State ends up as the 11 seed, so the 5 and 6 seeds avoid them.

They have talent and aren't fun to play. I'd much rather face Auburn or Tennessee if I'm a 5 or 6 seed.

ETA: Actually, for the 5/6 to avoid Mississippi State, either State would have to climb all the way up to #10, or they'd have to lose the 12/13 game on the opening night of the tournament.

Yea, because Auburn basically has no players now (though that was a gutsy win at Arkansas). Tennessee never had any players other than Punter. State plays hard and has enough guys who can have good nights to beat you if you play really poorly. Of those 3 teams we have : Loss @ Auburn, close comeback win at home vs Tennessee, overtime win @ MSU. Now, Auburn isn't the same team it was then, but still.

Honestly though, if Alabama plays really poorly we can lose to anyone in that tournament.
