Men's Bracketology: Tennessee's a 1-seed again but let's talk about the other end of the SEC

Both Oklahoma and Texas have dismal conference records, yet are in the First Four Out. Could these sub-.500 teams (in SEC play) really go dancing?

Updated today. Lunardi was on last night at halftime of the UH-KU game IHO three on the #1 seeds are locked AU, DU and UH the last one is up for grabs between Bama, UT and UF.

For the comments that are coming...

The two line is more difficult.

I ran across this article on X. It brings a thought to mind.

He has 14 of the 16 in his top 44: LSU the lowest at 81. IF he has almost 88 percent of the conference in his top 44...

Why hasn't anyone said "the SEC is overrated"?

The SEC is probably overrated

Bama just need to win tonight and Saturday to lock in #1.

Another one you read and ask...what now? Computer trickers, but regressed to the mean when playing better competition?

6 tonight for the men's bracket followed at 8 by the women's...

Farewell to My Friend Greg Gumbel

When CBS broadcaster Greg Gumbel passed away on Friday at the age of 78, he left behind an iconic legacy. And I lost a very dear friend.

Bama in the East Region, playing Robert Morris. Let's go

I agree with Jay Wright. Both tamu and Michigan are going out in the first round.

Duke's region... Damn.

I like that matchup if we get them. Much better than Florida, Houston, or auburn.

I like that matchup if we get them. Much better than Florida or auburn.

By rule (as I understand it and assuming it hasn't changed), they couldn't be in auburn's, Florida's, or Tennessee's region this year.

Bama got a pretty good draw, if they can bring their game.

 

[Kamikazi18627]

I like our whole half of the bracket. Glad we aren’t in the same region as auburn or Florida.


Play our game, I think we will be in good shape.

Good point, at least not in Florida's region.

Seth Davis said High Point will beat Purdue and be in the sweet 16. Do whaaaaaaaaaa??

The top 4 SEC teams this year had to be in different regions. There's certain built in rules the committee has to follow when seeding teams and assigning matchups, and that was one of them.
