It's pretty ridiculous that Tennessee is not a 1 seed.

 

Even though we didn't make our tournament championship, we won the SEC regular season championship outright (more meaningful) and we had a much better resume than Kansas.

 

Otherwise, I'm happy enough with the Vols' spot. I don't know much about American though...

 

Tennessee rightly got seeded second.

Is a two-win difference in the conference tournament enough to nullify a much better regular season? If it is, it shouldn't be.

YES!! 4 seed!! With Butler as the 5! I hate going West, but I'll take it!

 

Butler's a seven seed in the East.

Kansas

 

Kansas finished tied for the Big 12 title and Tennessee won theirs but Kansas showed up and won the Big 12 tournament. That's your difference. And the Big 12 was a better league in the SEC this year. Kansas over Tennessee for a No. 1 is a no doubter.

Can someone explain to me why Arizona is in?

 

Still waiting....

 

Because they're Arizona and they're a historic program.

Unacceptable to me. The NCAA loves to fellate Arizona.

 

ASU beats Arizona twice....with ASU having better conference record and better overall record....and is out?

 

Screw that.

Like you said, Tennessee won the SEC outright. The Vols also had a better RPI than Kansas (2 v 5), Tennessee had 3 wins over teams in the top 12 in the RPI (Memphis - higher ranked than Kansas - Vandy and Xavier) while Kansas had 1 (Texas today) and Tennessee has a SOS of 1 and Kansas' is 50.

 

Far from a no-doubter and, in my opinion, ridiculous.

Kansas had a better weekend. Tennessee had a better season.

Exactly my point. Two games at the end of the year should not completely erase being a better team the entire season.

 

It's silly.

Kansas looks like a better team IMO.

Non-conference SOS. According to one site, Arizona had the 4th hardest in the entire country. Arizona State had the 296th hardest nonconference schedule.

 

The committee has consistently told teams that if they want more consideration, they need to go out and play at least a decent schedule in the nonconference. Arizona State didn't, and they're out because of it.

The conference tournaments have become way, way too important. Tennessee's overall profile is better than Kansas's.
