I'll go with 10-8 until I see better shooting. And 10-8 is pretty good in the SEC this season. To look at the Gators prior to Selection Sunday, I'll say: 10-3 non-conference (Stony Brook and Okie State). 10-8 SEC regular season... so, 20-11 going into SECT. 1-1 in SECT... so 21-11 going into NCAAT... So, 6-seed in NCAAT.

The wild card in all of this is how will Auburn respond. They might rally around the coach and have a great season because they don't have a post season ban. Why no post season ban is a mystery to me.
The NCAAT must have been cowed by the constant threats of lawsuit by P5 teams 20 years ago. Before that, postseason bans were applied quite often. After that, never. We need to get back to that.
The old saying of money talks and BS walks comes to mind. What hit Florida so hard would barely be a blip on the radar today.

I wish but I do not see that happening. The NCAA is slowly being unraveled so as to not impact University economics. The economics of the game hold much greater sway over decisions now as compared to the past when cheating had consequences. Just ask Mr. big ass offer how the consequences are effecting him.
