Auburn would be favored, per KP, by 1.1 pts over Tennessee on a neutral floor. Just as an example of how to interpret the numbers

1. Auburn (+32.1)
2. Tennessee (31.0)
7. Alabama (+25.5)
8. Florida (+25.3)
10. Kentucky (+24.9)
24. Texas A&M (+20.8)
26. Mississippi St (+20.4)
27. Ole Miss (+19.7)
35. Georgia (+17.5)
38. Texas (+16.7)
42. Oklahoma (+16.2)
45. Arkansas (+16.0)
49. Missouri (+14.8)
51. LSU (+14.4)
60. Vanderbilt (+13.0)
68. South Carolina (+11.4)


- 5 of the top 10
- 8 of the top 30
- 12 of the top 45
- 14 of the top 51
- 16 of the top 68
- nobody below 70


That's absurd.

Going .500 in conference play is going to be a major accomplishment

As impressive as this is...

I think this is even crazier...

- nobody below 70


If that holds true, it means no game in conference will be below Quad 2.

Conference play is setting up to be an all timer.

We need to keep delivering in non-conference because we’re all going to kill each other in conference play.

The AP poll is going to be wild today. Auburn has a solid case for number one in spite of the loss at Duke, but I’ll wager it’ll be UTk with us in second.

How does the committee look at Quad 4 losses?

Solid chance the SEC Regular Season Champ has at least 6 losses in conference. Hopefully what we’ve all done in the OOC will keep the committee from cutting anyone out come tournament time.

It’s been a good noncon season thankfully. Lot of excellent wins.

I was interested in the Alabama-Creighton game until they lost a starter for the season. That was a good contrast in styles.

SEC will likely have @ 33% of the top 25 today.

They are about the only team in the league that could firmly be categorized as "disappointing" in the OOC.

If they seeded the NCAA tournament based on KenPom's metrics (without automatic bids), all 16 SEC teams would be in as of today. That's absurd.
