Lol, Kentucky and Auburn way too high with what they've accomplished so far

Nah, I think they are seeded about right.

Kentucky is 5-3 against the NCAA NET Top 100:

#2 Duke- Loss
#10 UNC- WIN
#23 Louisville- WIN
#39 Seton Hall- Loss
#60 Alabama- Loss
#66 UNCG- Win
#72 Vanderbilt- Win
#81 Texas A&M- Win

UK has only one loss to a team projected outside the current field of 68, and that was a road loss to Alabama who is one of the first 6 teams out. Those wins over North Carolina and Louisville are HUGE though.

Auburn also has done everything its needed to do so far.... come up short each time of having a HUGE win, but they have zero ugly losses.

#2 Duke- Loss
#16 NC State- Loss
#24 Ole Miss- Loss
#38 Washington- Win
#42 Murray St.- Win
#51 Arizona- Win
#69 Dayton- Win
#70 Georgia- Win
#77 Xavier- Win

The only losses were in true road games at NC State and Ole Miss, plus a neutral court loss to Duke.

Auburn is 3-3 against teams projected in the field if you include Murray State who is projected to have an automatic birth and a 12-seed.

I think Kentucky has a higher ceiling with the wins they have already over UNC and Louisville. Auburn is going to have to have a big, signature win if they want to be above that #4 or #5 seed threshold.... and they are running out of chances. Games at Kentucky and against Tennessee are the only regular season games left for Auburn to come up with a huge, signature win.
