All times are Central.

For some reason, numerous match times have changed so that none start at the same time.

Cause they're gonna have whip around coverage of all the games

If all the home teams win then we'll be co-champions

I'm not sure how it works, but wouldn't Arky have the tie-breaker over us with their victory?

They'd be the #1 seed but we'd both be champions

They'd just be a little more champions than we are.

I was disappointed to see that the 3rd and 4th games next Tuesday are not on the SEC Network. They are showing the early season men's basketball showdown between North Florida and Kentucky instead. Lots of drama there.

Florida and Georgia tied at 0-0 after 64 minutes.

Arkansas lead Tennessee 3-1 after 72 minutes.

South Carolina leads Auburn 2-0 after 36 minutes.

Mississippi St. leads Missouri 1-0 after 19 minutes.

South Carolina in control at the moment so looking like we'll finish third.

We'd be the three seed anyway, the two seed would be the winner of the East division

A&M is the 4-seed. Vanderbilt are East champs. Divisional records are based on matches within the division since not every team has the same conference opponents otherwise.

The SEC bracket has been updated in the second post.

Mississippi St. looking to get into the SEC tourney and knock Tennessee out of it.

Miss St. leads 4-1 over Missouri with just 16 minutes left.

Vandy leads Alabama 2-1 with 20 minutes left.

I'm not understanding the seeding for the SEC tourney

Hmm. That seeding system sucks. Vandy finishes 5th on the table but gets the 2-seed?

So now we'll likely have to get by UF and Arky (both beat us easily) in back to back matches.

Are they seeding differently that what is listed on the SEC website?

Quote:

---

Format: There shall be a single-elimination tournament of the top ten teams played at the conclusion of the SEC regular-season schedule. The tournament champion shall be the SEC representative to the NCAA championship. The top ten teams with the highest point total, regardless of divisions, will participate in the tournament, with the two division champions serving as the top two seeds. The following point system is utilized to determine regular season standings and seeding for the tournament: a win counts as three points, a tie as one, and a loss as zero points. If a game(s) is cancelled, neither team will receive a point and the standings will be determined by average points per game. The tournament shall be played in a Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday-Sunday format with Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday designated as off/practice days.

Seeding: The tournament will be seeded 1-10 based on the point system implemented to determine regular season standings. The two division champions shall be the top two seeds. If teams are tied, the following procedures, in order as follows, will be used to break the tie:

Two-Team Tie The following procedure will be used in the following order until the tie is broken: A. Head-to-head competition between the tied teams. B. Points earned versus common opponents. C. Goal differential versus common opponents. D. Goals scored versus common opponents. E. Won-Lost record of the two teams versus highest seeded common opponent and proceeding through the No. 14 seed, if necessary. F. Goal differential versus highest seeded common opponent and proceeding through the No. 14 seed, if necessary. G. Goals scored versus highest seeded common opponent and proceeding through the No. 14 seed, if necessary. H. Coin flip by the Commissioner.

Three-Team Tie (or more) The following procedure will be used until the tie is broken. If at any time this tie breaker results in only two remaining tied teams, then the two-team tiebreaker will be used beginning with Subsection A in that procedure and continuing from that point: A. If all teams have played one another, then most points earned in those matches only. B. If all teams have not played, but one team has defeated all teams in the tie break, then that team breaks the tie and shall be placed highest. Remaining teams will continue with the tie break procedure. C. If all teams have not played one another and a team does not have all wins over the tied teams, then use Subsection B in the two-team tie break procedures and continue through the two team tie-break procedures until ties between all teams are broken (except Subsection H will read "if three or more teams are still tied, the Commissioner will conduct a draw").

yes

The bracket has been finalized and is updated above!

Pretty epic fall for Tennessee this season after their best season in school history last year. What a terrible season for them. That's what happens when you lose all your best players to graduation.

In case you were wondering...

------- SEC West Standings -------
............................Division......Pts
Arkansas.................6-0..........18
Texas A&M.............4-1-1.......13
Alabama.................2-2-2........8
Ole Miss..................2-2-2........8
Auburn....................2-4...........6
Mississippi State....1-3-2........5
LSU..........................0-5-1........1

------- SEC East Standings --------
............................Division......Pts
Vanderbilt...............4-1-1.......13
South Carolina.......3-0-3.......12
Tennessee..............3-2-1.......10
Florida.....................3-2-1.......10
Georgia...................2-3-1........7
Kentucky.................1-4-1........4
Missouri..................1-5...........3

I think we'll obviously benefit from the new seeding in the long term, however I don't really see it lasting too long cause it's so screwy

What's so screwy about it?

You can finish 5th overall but end up getting the 2-seed in the tournament.
