How did the SEC get 8 bids?

I know most do not care because basketball is a secondary sport but the 8 bids surprised me. I was thinking 5 at most.
The B1G also got 8 so it will be interesting how the 2 leagues perform and compare them when it is over.

6 SEC teams are seed to fall out before the sweet 16. Comparison should take that in account. Texas A&M should be a 4 seed for example.

Big 12 has 7, and they are considered the strongest conference.

The league is good, but only Alabama is elite right now.
Arkansas has elite talent, but has struggled with injury.
Actually, I think this year's SEC slate is like many Big 10 slates--many teams worthy of inclusion, very few title factors.

Alabama doesn't have an opponent yet, obviously.
Of the seven remaining, six are betting favorites (Mizzou being the sole exception).

I think this is relevant because you'd have to come up with three other teams that both deserved to be in and would be favored at this point.

Mizzou will be a pickem by tipoff, if not favored. Money is coming in heavily on Mizzou

Mizzou is underrated. They can beat anyone.

I think Mizzou can beat Utah State, but they're an outstanding shooting team, and they're playing pretty good ball right now.
(Really hard to get a good read on those Mountain West teams one way or the other though, IMO.)

I know right? Should have been 9. Vandy got fricked this year. They was hot at the end of the season and finished tied for 4th in the SEC final stands and won 20 games.

Other than Mississippi State who it could be argued is a reach for getting in, what other two teams do you think shouldn't have gotten in. Auburn and Arkansas maybe? Those two teams had resumes consistent with a 9 or 10 seed.

Yes, I was thinking both Arkansas and Auburn would be left out but you made a great point about their resume.
I had thought Vanderbilt's dominant wins over Kentucky might get them in but I guess not.

More proof southerners are weird.
Why would I touch myself when I can have any woman I want?
