Give me one good reason AUBURN won’t be a #1 seed
- Thread starter Lvmbergh
- Start date
Small room for error. Still have games at Alabama, Missouri, Florida and Arkansas. Plus home games vs Kentucky and A&M. Schedule is set up nicely. Only play A&M and UK once. Both are at home.
I like Auburn. But I think your margin for error is to small to get a 1-seed. Personally I see AU being a Top 4 seed IF they continue to do as they have. Just think a one seed is a stretch.

You still haven't played Kentucky, that's why. (Seriously y'all have a good team please take it easy on us when we come to town)
Currently 5th in ESPN and 9th in ncaa
That will change when the inevitable losses come. But they're a solid team and the sec isn't exactly the best conference.
Beat Florida and Kentucky and they're possibly up to a 2-3 seed. 4-5 seems most likely at this point though.
Because the FBI will arrest Bruce Pearl any day now?
I would love to be the four in Auburn’s region. Auburn will end up as a 4-8 seed, I means it’s auburn.

I think he got that from last week, the RPI had the SEC #2 and announcer during a UK game made mention of it.
They're #4 now. Actually tied for 3rd with big east with .594 rating.

If he’s using the RPI as a reliable metric than that’s even worse.
Look, the SEC is having a better year. But they are AT BEST the 4th best league. Anyone who even casually follows college basketball can see that the ACC, Big 12, and Big East are better leagues.
Yeah but you’re a complete homer.
I would love to hear your argument for SEC being better than 4th.
The SEC has a lot of decent teams but absolutely no teams that look like contenders at this point. I think people aren’t used to the SEC being deeper than 2-3 teams, but the highest ranked team is Kentucky at #20. Every other major conference has 2-3 teams that are better than any SEC team. That doesn’t mean the league is bad as a whole by any means
It will be fun once tourney time comes around. I’m sure there will be a few low seeded SEC teams pulling off good upsets

That’s not even close to accurate. The ACC has 3 teams ranked higher on KenPom than the best SEC team.
The SEC teams are improved over last year. Last year the SEC had three teams in the elite eight.
There it is.
Horrible argument.
UK 2017 would destroy this year's UK team. The same for the other elite 8 teams.
This is the exact opposite argument I've heard against the SEC for the past 10 years. It was always, "yeah, UK and Florida are title contenders but the rest of the league sucks." It's funny how things change. 8 teams are projected as of right now. To try and discredit the league in any regard is ridiculous. Only league that is head and shoulders better is the B12.
Their out of conference strength of schedule is terrible and they're likely to drop a few in conference, including some bad ones. I could see them getting as high as a 3 seed though.
Yet look at the overall conference strength for the leagues? Dead even.
With that said, the SEC's last place and 0-5 team has a 23-point win over the team who was just ranked #2 in the nation.
It's a deep league and agree, the SEC might not have a top 10 team.
I did not say that. You are the asshole saying that.
We will have to wait until UK makes the final four to know.
