Buy/sell

The winner of the Florida at Kentucky game next Sunday will get the SEC's 5th and last NCAA bid. I'm buying.

that game has become tremendously huge

I say Kentucky makes the tournament no matter what.

Seems like an easy buy. The midweek games could have an affect on the Fla/KY game though.

KY plays USC, Fla plays UT...regardless, your right..the Fla/KY game is huge.

but it is going to be tough to leave out the two time defending champion with 21 wins and an 8-8 SEC record.

What happens if someone besides those six teams wins the SEC tourney?

Who of the 5 gets left out?

TN in
Vandy in
MSU in
Arkansas in

I'm guessing KY or FL.

I think UT, MSU and Vandy are the only locks. Arkansas, Ole Miss (yes, Ole Miss), Florida and Kentucky are fighting for at large spots. I don't think there is a certain number of spots slotted for the SEC, but I would bet it will be at least 4 and no more than 6.

Projected minimum needed to get in:
Arkansas: 1-1 (at UM, AU)
UM: 2-0 (Ark, at UGA) + 2 in Atlanta (likely UGA and UK)
Florida: 2-0 (UT, at UK) + 2 in Atlanta (likely AU and MSU)
Kentucky: 1-1 (at USC, UF) + 1 in Atlanta (likely UM)

If all the regular season stuff plays out, the UK/UM SEC tournament game may be the elimination game.
