March 10, 201214 yr Let's try this. I say the committee has determined that "if the season ended after Friday night here's all of the teams that would be in ." They don't know which of those fills the AQ slot yet but in their minds they know which teams are in. So, if after Friday they didn't have Ole Miss in the tourney (just using them because they're still alive but IMO not in) then Ole Miss can't get in unless it beats Vandy today and KY tomorrow. Failing both Ole Miss is out. It doesn't matter that the committee doesn't know if the AQ is UK or Vandy. They know it will be one of those two barring an upset by Ole Miss. So while they don't know which teams are AQs and which teams will be the ALs they do know the teams that will be in the tourney. You are assuming they are working with a field of 68 when they are not. The 31 AQ spots are blank until a bid is won. There is zero assumption on who those teams will be. Ole Miss could get one of the 5-8 undecided AL spots if the committee deems that getting to say the SEC final does enough to boost their resume...
March 10, 201214 yr The head of committee was just pulling a Lunardi. Filling in his bracket early. It doesn't mean anything until Sunday when all the tourneys are over. Right?
