Since Bammer lost today, that takes them out of the tiebreaker equation.  So if UF wins, we would be tied with Vandy for the 3rd best record.  We split head to head, both went 0-2 vs UK, but we went 2-0 vs UF while they went 1-1, and that would break the tie.  Am I right?

Haven't a clue
We will have a bye though and we want the 2 or 3 seed - could be the difference of a tourney bid

Ummm, sure you're right.  Exactly.   (actually have no clue)

But I am not sure if it matters whether we are 2 or 3...matchups should be similar.

Exactly.  I just don't want the 4 seed- that would put us on UK's side of the bracket.

You are correct. We are either 2 or 3. UF is either 2 or 4. Candy is either 3 or 4.

So since there isn't much difference in the 2 seed and 3, do I have everyone's permission to root for UF tomorrow?

It sounds better to say we're the 2

But if UF wins, it prevents UK from going undefeated in the SEC, which probably makes CCM the favorite for SEC COY.  Besides, we have to live with ourselves.  Rooting for UK is like entering into an alliance with Al Qaeda.

All of this. There's little difference between the 2 and the 3 and I don't think being able to say we're the 2 will make any difference for the selection committee. If UF were to win, we'd also have 2 wins over the only SEC team to beat UK.

In the end it doesn't much matter . . . I think UK is going to pull away down the stretch and win. But I'd rather not root for them.

That worked for South Park though.  Just sayin.

Well, when you're being invaded by Jerseyites, you have to do anything you can.

Show her this, and assure her that if she continues down this path, she'll end up just like these two dorks.
