re: Will a 9-9 SEC record get you in the NCAA Tournament?

9-9 = lock for any SEC due to how many Quad wins it will take to get to 9-9
8-10 very likely again due to not getting to 8 without a few Quad 1 wins and most SEC teams have quality OOC wins.
7-11 would be very dicey depending on bubble.
Conference record isn't really a criteria the NCAA considers as a resume point since they break down the games into quality quads.

This will get you in if you make a run in the SEC Tournament. Say get to the finals.

If Auburn played without Broome for 6 weeks and ended at 7-11?
They would get in the tourney.

Yes, the SEC is the toughest conference in America. A .500 conference record HAS to get you in.

I know LSU won’t finish 9-9. You guys fight that off. Baseball can’t get here soon enough.

Without a doubt this season.
Hell, there will probably be some 8-10 SEC teams in the NCAAT.

8-10 is automatic.

If you are 7-11 and make it to the conference semifinals or finals then I think that team will be in. They will need to at least win two tournament games at a minimum.

Auburn has played 11 quad 1 games and has 11 remaining, with 2 quad 2 remaining . 9-9 is a lock.
If Auburn goes 9-9 then the city will be burning worse than LA is right now.

Let's revisit this. I said that 9-9 was a lock, and essentially, so is 8-10. I said "the right team" could even get in at 7-11. You said no team could get in at 7-11.
Tell me that no one on this list makes it at 8-10 or 7-11.
Tennessee (8-5) #6 in the nation. 0-5 from here would put them 8-10.
Ole Miss (8-5) #24. Same as TN
Kentucky (7-6) #17. 0-5 puts them at 7-11
MSU (7-6) #21 Same as Kentucky
Vanderbilt (5-8). 3-2 or 2-3 puts them at 8-10 or 7-11
Texas (5-8) Same as Vandy
Arkansas (4-9) 4-1 or 3-2 puts us at 8-10 or 7-11
Georgia (4-9) same as us
LSU (3-10) 5-0 or 4-1 put them at 8-10 or 7-11
Oklahoma (3-10) same as LSU
Fwiw - TN, OM, KY, and MSU are noted as "locks" in the latest Bubble Watch. The next 4 on my list have "work to do", same for Oklahoma. LSU is 1% as a long shot.
I would posit that any of these teams are in at 7-11, except maybe Kentucky and MSU because that means they finish 0-5 down the stretch. Vanderbilt and Texas are questionable too, I guess, since they would have to finish 2-3. It really depends on which 2 they won. Otherwise, the teams are already a lock, or they would finish on a flurry of wins in the SEC to get to 7-11.
Certainly NONE of these teams are missing at 8-10. Some 9-9 teams will likely be seeded very high in the NCAAT.

State is the only team I think would be left out at 7-11 because they would heve to lose their next five against the weaker part of their schedule.
at Oklahoma
at Alabama
Texas
LSU
at Arkansas
With the exception of Alabama, these are games that they should win. Most likely outcome is 10-8, then 11-7, then 9-9, then 12-6, then 7-11.

Kentucky would likely make it in due to the consideration of injuries (different team with Butler and Robinson healthy) and we have some Quad 1A wins outside of the conference.
Last night they were talking on the broadcast that they're going to look at the whole body of work and the SEC doing really well in the OOC will help float some of those teams with an under .500 conference record. And because almost everyone is Quad 1, Quad 1 losses don't hurt you as much.
Vandy for example is showing as an 11 seed right now.

State went 8-10 in a weaker SEC last year and was an 8 seed, not especially close to the bubble. 8-10 in this SEC is a stone cold lock. I think 7-11 would work for several teams.

Well OU is 3-10 and projected as a 10 seed
Posted on 2/20/25 at 10:57 am to themetalreb
8-10 will

It is just tough to conceive….I’ll say this: barring bizarre circumstances, (like missing 2 or 3 starters for 3 weeks), I would be very nervous to put in a team on a 6 game skid if I were the committee….it just doesn’t feel right. One thing that will help the SEC is the fact that the ACC is utter trash. They’re gonna have hardly anybody represent. I mean, you’ve gotta fill up the 68 slots with somebody.
So I guess I was wrong. At this point I guess I can see where a “certain” 7-11 SEC team could make it. It still doesn’t seem right.
