🏀 🛣 The Road To Nashville: SEC Tournament '25 - Updated standings as of 2/24

Updated 2/24

Eight days ago, how many 'Dores fans were thinking "if we can only grab one of the three" when they were looking at three top ten games in a row?

I suspect that W over Vandy Tuesday night may mean something down the road when we start seriously discussing seeding.

IF we go purely by chalk (neutral) for the rest of the season:

AU, UA, UF, and UT are your Thursday bye teams / top four. A&M is over Mizzou (head to head) and UK will end up behind Mizzou for 7th?!?! UArk would finish over LSU with three wins for Cal's first season. UofSC, 0'fer.

IF chalk/current standings hold today (with an exception noted.) Current standings at the top of the page.

Ole Miss loses to UK in Lexington this weekend (Rebels ranked higher in SEC standings.)

1. AU
2. UA
3. Mizzou
4. UF
5. UT
6. UK
7. A&M
8. Ole Miss
9. State
10. TX
11. Vandy
12. UGA
13. OU
14. UArk
15. LSU
16. UofSC

Hypotheticals:

Assuming chalk holds on the rest of the SEC, Bama takes the game against Auburn in Tuscaloosa, and Auburn takes the one in West Opelika ...
The game to watch is going to be Florida. If Bama pulls out a win there, and both AU and UA end up tied for the regular season, Bama carries the #1 seed in the SECT based on the common opponent, the win over UF.

UA, AU, UF, and UT would round out the top four resting until Thursday's games.

I think our game at UT will come in to play. The Barn already beat the Vols. UT could run the table to close out their SEC season, we are their toughest game remaining clearly and it’s a home game for them. If UT beats us and we split with the Barn, I guess the Barn would be 1, UT would be 2 and Bama 3 (if we have same record as UT but they beat us head to head).

I think our game at UT will come in to play.

UK, Tuesday night.

With five left to play ... if the tourney tipped today.

I will entertain any wagers that don’t believe in 3 weeks we won’t be playing on Thursday.

I had predicted we would go .500 down the stretch. It is looking like that is unlikely at this point. Very surprising because I thought this team just needed that little extra push to being dominant but the turnovers and D issues have just not gotten resolved.

 

[TerryP]

2-2 gives Bama the byes needed.

 

[TerryP]

IF Bama loses both games they'll be a five seed.
IF Bama beats Florida and loses to Auburn they are a three seed
IF Bama loses to Florida but beats Auburn they are a four seed.
IF Bama beats Florida and Auburn they are a two seed.

Last night the Mizzou and UT loss helped.

Bama is a four seed going into the final weekend.

If chalk holds (assuming UF is favored over Ole Miss) Bama enters the tourney as a four even with a loss to Auburn.

I'm thinking the Mizzou loss sealed the bye's the team needs...
