After Saturday's games, how many SEC teams get in

[oneatatime]

Florida and Missouri are in.

Everybody else will need something special.

Mississippi's loss was unbelievable. The others were not surprising on the road, but still I suspect, someone will need to make the SEC final to secure a bid

[gatorfansrule]

Missouri is not a lock yet IMO. They still have Arkansas and @Tennessee left to play. ESPN Bubble Watch is not updated yet, but here's what they have: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bubblewatch

UF, MZ, Ark. Others need to do some work

[ApexNC]

And Tennessee loses to UGa....that'll do it for them too

[ArtVandelay]

I didn't understand how Ole Miss was still in before today. Surely they are out now and I don't see them getting back in.

[REM08]

Not a chance Arkansas is in without more work. They haven't even been listed as one of the teams "just" left out of the tourney in the past week that I've seen.

UF and Missouri are in. Other teams need work.

Don't know about UT or Ole Miss, but I think UK needs 2 more wins to be in unless other bubble teams just flop.

[ArtVandelay]

Not sure why people think Arky is in right now...

They beat us and Mizzou and Oklahoma. They still have work to do. Another win vs Mizzou and avoid a loss vs aTm and first game loss in SEC and they would probably be in.

[themistocles]

Yeah, it would really be WEIRD if the SEC had one team in the 64, and that team were a #1 or #2 seed wouldn't it? This is certainly possible now that the team is almost complete again,

We can, however, hope that as many as 4 teams make it, although today really hurt a lot of teams that are on or near the bubble.

Fwiw, lunardi has 3 sec teams in the first 4 out.

And 4 of the first 8 out. Amazing.

According to ESPN bubble watch, the SEC has the following bubble teams.
Last 4 out: Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama.
Ole Miss is in next four out.

Here are some key SEC regular season games left that will have an impact on which SEC teams will make it or not:

Alabama @ Ole Miss
Arkansas @ Missouri
Tennessee vs Missouri
Florida @ Kentucky



For the SEC tourney projections based on this week's standings http://www.volnation.com/forum/tenne...rojection.html, the SEC semifinals could be the following:

#1 Florida vs #4 Mississippi/#5 Missouri

#2 Alabama/ #7 Tennessee vs #3 Kentucky/ #6 Arkansas

In my opinion, should Florida advance to the SEC finals, the Gators will have their hardest game in their semifinal where a potential third show down between Missouri & UF could occur! Some of these SEC bubble teams can still help each other out by picking up key wins. However, some of these bubble teams can also knock each other out, too!

[GatorPlanet]

I have a feeling UF, Mizzou, and UK are the only ones that will get in, and UK is not there yet.

[gatorfansrule]

If Mizzou happens to loss to Arkansas and Tennessee do you still think they get in or would it depend on what they did in the SEC tournament too?

Missouri should get in; they have good victories over Illinois, VCU, Florida & others!
That Missouri-Arkansas game should be a good grudge match based on their previous game. Tennessee is not winning any opposing fans' approval either as the vols play a very thuggish style of basketball!

[akaGatorhoops]

I actually like the vols chances. I think they set up well with a home game versus mizzou.

[xenythx]

Florida is the lock. Missouri has enough quality wins to be in.

Ole Miss and Alabama are out because they have really bad losses and barely any quality wins.

UT, Arkansas, and UK are FIRMLY on the bubble. If any of them can win out and get to at least the SEC tournament championship game, then they're in.

[InstiGATOR1]

I doubt UK gets in. They will lose at UGa this week. They might beat UF. They will fold quickly in the SEC tourney.

Did we wrap up SEC reg season championship today ?

[gatorfansrule]

We have clinched a share of the title. If we beat Vandy on Wednesday we wrap it up.

I think Tennessee has a better chance of making it to the NCAAs than Kentucky.
Tennessee hosts Missouri & has an excellent chance for that win at their home.
On the other hand, Kentucky has a harder game than UT as the wildcats ncaa hopes rest on defeating the tougher Gators. Additionally when looking at the SEC tourney projections as they stand now (see my post above), UK most likely faces an Arkansas team who seems to have the wildcats' number; UT faces Alabama which is any ones game. In the next couple of weeks, this will be an interesting end to the SEC season!
