Kentucky or Florida would eliminate each other in a Sweet 16

Same for Tennessee and South Carolina

Same for Miss State and Alabama




ACC on the other hand? Spread out all over the bracket so that an ACC team would not meet against another ACC team until the Elite Eight

Big 10? Almost the same. Only Wisconsin and Nebraska could eliminate each other in Sweet 16, the other four are spread out to avoid Big10 versus Big 10 until the Elite Eight

that one time 4 SEC teams made the tourney and the committee put Alabama Kentucky LSU in the same Region in 1986 and sent Auburn out West

With 8 bids for the conference it is a little more difficult to prevent potential conference match ups.

Curious how this compares to the Big 12 tho, since they also received 8 bids.

It’s also going to depend where those teams are on the seed lines.

Oddly by pairing SEC teams up like that, you guarantee one advances. If they played other teams it’s possible they all lose in the sweet 16.

Uconn, a top 10 on both offense and D, gets matched with AU, the only other team ranking top 10 in both offense and defense.

I mean I think it is bullshite too, but just doing the math, there are going to be some early NCAAT match-ups involving conference opponents.

As I mentioned earlier, I'd be curious how this compares to the Big 12.

They tried tried that in 2019, too, and Auburn gummed up the works by going on that run. They just need to do that again.

Subregion paired from Big 12 are:

BYU and Iowa State

TCU and Kansas


the other four aren't paired against Big 12's in the subregions

as I mentioned, Texas (future SEC) is paired with both Tennessee and South Carolina, in a 8 team subregion



Auburn is getting screwed and I think Florida got screwed with a 7 seed
