Joe Lunardi updated his latest bracket projection early Sunday morning following a large slate of games on Saturday.
Lunardi has 8 SEC teams in his latest update, plus 1 program (Vanderbilt) on the wrong side of the bubble.
Here’s the seeding breakdown:
- Alabama (No. 1 seed in the South)
- Tennessee (No. 3 seed in the East)
- Kentucky (No. 7 seed in the South)
- Texas A&M (No. 7 seed in the West)
- Missouri (No. 8 seed in the Midwest)
- Arkansas (No. 9 seed in the East)
- Mississippi State (No. 11 seed in the Midwest)
- Auburn (No. 11 seed in the West)
Lunardi’s projection has Mississippi State playing in Dayton in the play-in round. Auburn, also a No. 11 seed, received 1 of the final 4 byes in Lunardi’s bracket.
Vanderbilt is the lone SEC team on the wrong side of the bubble entering championship week. The Commodores have been off the radar for most of the season, but have now won 8 of their last 9 games. A big weekend in the SEC Tournament next week could push them into the field of 68.
