You could look at this: We play a top 5 team. That's a tall task.

You could also look at this like: Tennessee is the 5th best team left, and they have to play the 8th best team. And if you're in the business of identifying upsets, they have one of the toughest matchups of the high seeds.

Of course they ram Duke to the top. I thought Auburn was the initial overall #1 seed? What suddenly justifies dropping them to the last #1 and vaulting Puke to the top?

And then UT is higher than us? We beat them twice already.

I'd be curious to see actual rationale for each ranking, not just a summary of their seasons. We beat the best 14 seed and then solidly took down a very good #6 seeded Illinois.

I guess on putting Duke at the top (I'm not trying to justify it because I can't stand them) but their margin of defeat in both of their games was the best out of all the # 1 seeds.

I guess they have their blinders on when it comes to our 2 victories over UT this year and so does Vegas. Just look at the opening line UT is the favorite by 4.5.

Probably because Duke is beating the F out of everybody, and Auburn has struggled before the NCAA tournament and in both of the first and second round games. Something is off with them they are not a "team" right now. Just a bunch of individual talent doing there thing.
