Auburn’s the SEC Champions, and if Tennessee wants to try and spin it that they’re sharing the title, that’s their prerogative. If they were truly the conference winner, they’d be the 1-seed in St. Louis, and they’re not.

If you so wish, here are links to the bracket on the SEC’s website, and in PDF form as well. That last one’s going to be suitable for printing and framing when Auburn wins the whole thing.
The Tigers will play either Alabama or Texas A&M on Friday afternoon, with a win projecting them into a likely contest against Kentucky. It’s not going to be easy this coming week, but are we going to expect some kind of subpar effort from this team? Absolutely not. We’ve cut down one set of nets, and there are more nylons waiting for us in St. Louis.
War Eagle!
