The have lost 3 out of their last 4 and are only 8-4 since the start of February. Hard to put them ahead of Tennessee right now and if Florida wins today, they should get the nod as well.

Duke
Houston
Florida
Tennessee

They do have a lot of quad 1 wins though, so their sluggish end of season probably won't get emotional kicked off the one line. But they should be.

Unless your are just trying to troll (which you may be), this is one of the dumbest posts I have seen on this board.

Yeah, the team that ran away and won the regular season championship in one of the toughest conferences ever doesn't deserve a one seed....right.

If Auburn doesn't deserve a one seed, then Duke doesn't deserve anything better then a three seed.

A season is all the games.

3-4 in March is not good.

They don’t meet the eye test.
 
I mean. They're going to get a 1 seed. But how you finish, matters. I think it shouldn't be as automatic as some of you think. The SEC is clearly the best conference. But I don't buy that they are this historically great conference. There are 3 or 4 really good teams and they are deep with good teams. Just because Auburn won more regular season games doesn't mean they were the best SEC when it counts. We'll see. I think Florida is the best team, myself.

The SEC is a historically great conference. Their teams can be upset in the tournament, but the conference is amazing.

I could see them being the #1 overall 2 seed.

The ACC was bad basketball this season. It is night and day from the SEC.

Yes, but for years, they were the premier basketball conference, it's hard to admit when a conference that used to suck, is now better than you were at your best.

Slow down there Kentucky guy riding the coat tails of an Auburn team that has never won a championship. Is there anyone that has denied that the SEC is the best conference this year? Why are you, as a Kentucky fan, so flamboyantly defensive over the SEC? Is that how bad it has become to be a Kentucky fan? This century 4 different ACC teams have won championships adding up to 8. 2 different SEC teams have won it adding up to 3. So if you want to go full homo on conference shit talking, you're going to lose. And this year's champion damn well better be from the SEC.

ACC had 3 1-seeds in 2019. SEC ain’t better than that. 4 different teams that now reside in the ACC have won a natty since the SEC last won one. But yeah, you’re better than us this year so congrats on that.

Jeez, who dragged their sack across your face today?

I'm not defending Auburn, just stating a fact and that fact appears to.be one that bothers you.

That’s not how it works. you don't judge an entire body of work by the results of a one-and-done tournament.

NC State wasn't one of the best 4 teams in the country last year, but they got to a FF. Miami wasn’t one of the best teams in the country 3 years ago, neither was FAU, but both were in the FF.

Also, unless you just came back from the future, You have no idea how many SEC teams will be in the FF and with 13 teams getting in, several SEC teams will end up beating other SEC teams.

The SEC had 2 teams in the 2014 FF, does that mean the SEC was the best conference? No.

This years SEC is the best conference of all time according to every analyst and every metric. Mossy on a national college message board, is not the authority on it.

Again, you're trying way to hard to make me out to bothered by the SEC being the best conference this year. I wouldn't give two shits if they were every year. Which with the NIL and the portal, it is very possible. This was about a 60% troll on AUhoosier and 40% legitimate consideration. There have been countless threads from SEC guys bitching about how bad the ACC is this year. It's weird that you guys are so defensive when. You're good. I say "you're good" because it seems to be that it isn't about our individual teams that we root for anymore. We have to answer for how good or how bad everyone else is in the conference. Anyways. Good luck SEC!

You're not very convincing right now, you seem bothered by it. Just being honest.

Nope, it’s just funny when you all get together and yell look at us.

And yes the ACC is terrible but don’t lay an egg because the smoke will come.

The smoke will come whether we talk shit or not, I learned that a long time ago on here.

Auburn might have the stronger resume, but UF beat them comfortably at their own place without a starting guard. Auburn also will have lost 3 of their last 4 while UF is really clicking.

Oh, I am definitely on the Florida is better than Auburn today team. But I was saying that Auburn has played their way out of the number 1 overall seed.
