And conference standing will not come into play at all, except they sometimes do give a minor boost for a regular season conference champ.

Head to head matters, but not - we finished 3rd, they finished 4th… too many other variables with unbalanced schedules and non conference performance.

If they're going to see based on geography and the goal is to avoid Auburn we either need to be ahead of Tennessee or behind Houston

Yes this is correct. Although shooting the gap of being behind Houston and still on the 2 line is really threading the needle

Is the "top 4 in a conference can't be in the same region" a hard rule? If so, why is Tennessee against Duke when we are 4th in the SEC right now?

UT obviously has much better metrics and deserves it, but how and when do conference standings come into play?

I. The committee rankings we are 5th in the sec right now

Conference standings don't matter. It's committee rankings.

1. Auburn
2. Alabama
4. Florida
5. Tennessee
6. A&M

Do we are 5th in the sec in committee rankings

Makes sense

Yeah that's why it's mostly a joke. We can't really plan for that

Vandy hearing all them haters(me included) questioning where they can get enough wins. Still early though

Because the 6th best team gets their geographic preference before the 7th team… even if realistically we would rather play out west with Florida, geography says we get Atlanta and Auburn because it's closer. I don't make the rules but that's what they are going with. That's why I said it would be one of the things to watch with this reveal…

Does 3-3 down the stretch secure a 2 seed? 3 seed?

4-2 potential for a 1?

Nailed it Colleyville! Great job!

Lurker and infrequent poster here. Colleyville, I'm seriously impressed at your dedication and knowledge of the seeding. Really impressive that you got so many right! Keep the analysis posts coming! We love them!
