    Wouldn't it be nice if we were older? Then we wouldn't have to wait so long.

    I’m not sure where we were before LSU, but Lunardi has us up to a 7 seed. Palm has us as 7. Dude from Fox has us an 11.

    Bracket Matrix has us as a 9 with a high of a 5 and low of an 11.

    Oh man, forgive me. The initial reference went right over my head. Lyrics are my weakest musical suit.

    Big 12 currently projected to have 9 teams in the field.. no way UF isn't better than Texas, BYU, OU, TCU and i would give us the edge over Baylor in a rematch today. I am watching the OU and KU game and neither one of these teams can make shots consistently.

    And Pitt moves to #47 which means we now have 3 Q1 wins!

    We are now 3-7 against Q1 and 3-0 against Q2.

    The Q1 winning percentage is admittedly not good, but it is now better than Alabama and Auburn’s and they were both included in the top 16.

    The last part of your statement is still one I struggle with. Why are Auburn and Bama getting the benefit of the doubt still? Auburn has struggled the last month, and Bama before the A&M game their best win was Auburn.

    Up to 27th in Kenpom, and projected to go 3-3 in remaining games. This team can seriously overachieve this season (Elite 8 is a real possibility) but I want to see how they deal with Bama first. A bad blowout loss would dim my enthusiasm. Screenshot_20240218_074133_Chrome.jpg

    I think they are both at 9-7 or 9-6 in total Q1/Q2 games vs. our 6-7. That shouldn’t be the difference between a 3 seed and 8, but I guess it is a bit better.

    At least in the case of Bama their schedule is 5th in the country and 18th in non-conference, which the committee really values. Auburn’s strength of schedule is worse than ours so I’m really at a loss for why they are a 4 and we are an 8.

    Could be way off, but this seems like a decent chance of happening:

    Alabama
    vs. TAMU- W
    vs. Florida- W
    @ Kentucky- L
    @ Ole Miss- W
    vs. Tennessee- W
    @ Florida- L
    vs. Arkansas- W
    Final: 14-4

    Auburn
    @ Georgia- W
    @ Tennessee- L
    vs. Miss State- W
    @ Mizzou- W
    vs. Georgia- W
    Final: 13-5

    Tennessee
    @ Mizzou- W
    vs. Texas A&M- W
    vs. Auburn- W
    @ Alabama- L
    @ South Carolina- L
    vs. Kentucky- W
    Final: 13-5

    Kentucky
    @ LSU- L
    vs. Alabama- W
    @ Miss State- W
    vs. Arkansas- W
    vs. Vanderbilt- W
    @ Tennessee-
    Final: 12-6

    South Carolina
    @ Ole Miss- L
    @ Texas A&M- L
    vs. Florida- W
    vs. Tennessee- W
    @ Miss State- L
    Final: 11-7

    Florida
    @ Alabama- L
    vs. Vandy- W
    vs. Mizzou- W
    @ South Carolina- L
    vs. Alabama- W
    @ Vandy- W
    Final: 12-6

    Gators and Cats tied for 4th. Split series for first tiebreaker. Cats 1-0 vs. Bama and Gators 1-1 vs. Bama for second tiebreaker.

    I don't see us catching Alabama unless we win in Tuscaloosa. So if we lose on Wednesday, it is likely we need Alabama to win in Rupp when they play to help us out with SECT tiebreakers.

    Somebody here on NBN gave us a great resource (I'll have to go back and find who) but they update after every game.

    Here's their latest:

    • After beating Georgia 88-82 yesterday, Florida is now projected to finish the regular season 22-9 (12-6 SEC).

    • The odds that the Gators make the NCAA tournament are up to 98%, an increase of 4% since yesterday.

    • We currently rank Florida as the #28 team in the country, and the #5 team in the SEC.

    This is the one I am subscribed to as well, that USCe game has went from 35% to 55% in less than a week I think.

    I think 14-4 wins the conference as well, just not sure I know who gets there. My gut tells me Tennessee. At the moment I would say usce and Auburn are trending down, UF and UK up and Tennessee is holding serve.

    I would say UK is trending downwards or at best holding serve compared to where they were a few weeks ago. They were #6 and now #22. Seeding and expectations have dropped considerably. UF was being seen as a fringe bubble team and now are trending towards a lock unless we collapse.

    Yeah thats fair, big win at Auburn last night. I feel like UK may have a run in them, so my bias probably leaked into what I said.
