It doesn't appear that the SEC will rack up many NCAA bids does it ? RPI for LSU is 37, Tennessee is #17 and Florida is #49. Those three should go, but who else? South Carolina is #48, Auburn is #67, Vandy = 79,UK=80, Miss. State # 83 and Ole Miss are at #81. Bama is 96. UGA and Arkansas can forget the post season at 169 & 127 respectifully. Yes, I know the SEC tournement could change things around. My guess is the Ketucky game is must win for the Rebs' NIT hopes. Win that and go ?

LSU, UT and SC have probably punched their ticket. UF and Auby may not need the tourney championship to go, but both would need to make it at least to Saturday for consideration. Everybody else needs to win the auto-bid.

Looks if the SEC will get short-changed compared to the other big conferences. My guess is definitely 3 maybe 4 SEC teams going dancing . The ACC seems to have 7 or 8 teams who could be going the the NCAA dance. Same with the Big East, the Big 12 about 6 teams and 7 teams in the Big 10. This is teams with RPI's less than 50.

I don't see the ACC getting that many in ~ 6 at most, as I don't see Miami or Va Tech making it. Big East I think gets 8. Big 10 gets maybe 6, and I agree Big 12 gets 6. Conventional wisdom says SEC gets 3-4; right now only 3 for certain. I think the other at-large slots go to mid-majors; there's always pressure on the committee to expand the mid-major NCAA pool ~ Mountain West will get 3 in.
