I still think Tennessee has the edge Archived Message
Posted by Blazer on March 11, 2024, 12:03:12, in reply to "UK winning at UT and UNC winning at Duke really screwed us"
UNC has head to head but that's it. Tennessee's metrics are slightly better, SOS is way better (10 vs. 25), and their wins are much better (6 Q1A wins vs. 3 Q1A for UNC): Tennessee 6 Auburn 8 Alabama @ 8 Alabama 15 Illinois @ 19 Kentucky @ 22 Wisconsin @49 South Carolina UNC 5 Tennessee 10 Duke @10 Duke @ 26 Clemson 43 Oklahoma 44 Pittsburgh @ 51 Virginia If the committee bases it on one head-to-head game where UNC was at home, fine, but Tennessee has a significant edge in every other meaningful category. However, agree UK bumping to the 3 is a real concern. Previous Message UK either bumps up to a 3 or is the top 4. More importantly, UT may drop down to a 2. Duke could fall to a 4 And UNC could jump UT at the last 1. Our ideal scenario is UT as the last 1 and the other three SEC schools as the other 4 seeds. That would guarantee that we're matched with Tennessee as our 1 seed. I'm worried that we're now on a collision course with Houston. That's not a great matchup for us.
