So the top seed in the West gets seeded higher than the 2nd place team in East no matter the record? Trying to understand why Arkansas is the 2 seed and Georgia the 3 rather than the other way around. Also, its actually the top 2 seeds from each division that gets the bye rather than the top 4 records?

Short answer is yes the two division winners are seeded 1 and 2 no matter what. The rest are seeded by SEC winning percentage without regard to division. There are a number of tie breakers listed.
