In the newest ESPN bracket projections. A week ago we were projected as a #7 seed, actually #8 but bumped to #7 for bracket integrity. Here are all the contending SEC teams in the newest projection of NCAA seeds, with last weeks projection noted:
1 Miss State (1)
2 South Carolina (1)
4 Kentucky (6)
5 TAMU (4)
6 Missouri (7)
7 Tennessee (5)
8 LSU (10)
Auburn was a 10 seed projection a week ago, now is projected as one of the first 4 teams not selected. Their RPI has plunged to 43 this morning after another bad loss last night at home to Alabama; they were comfortably in the low to mid 20's just weeks ago. At this point I see the SEC getting 7 teams selected instead of the 8 which looked like a lock a few weeks ago.
Here are the projected seed lines right around Mizzou so you can see the teams we are getting compared against for position:
7 seeds: Tennessee, Michigan, Creighton, Temple
6 seeds: Mizzou, Kansas State, Syracuse, Miami Fla
5 seeds: TAMU, Ohio State, DePaul, NC State
