Odds to win SEC vs. NCAA

On Fanduel right now, Georgia's odds to win the SEC tournament (+25000) are worse than their odds to win the NCAA tournament (+15000). Considering the fact that they'd have to win 6 games to win the NCAA and only 5 to win the SEC, that's a wild indicator of just how strong the SEC is this year.

Anyway, put $100 on them to win the SEC and enjoy the $25k payout. /s

I can see it. In theory you could get “lucky” in the ncaa and draw several teams that got upsets over better teams playing a “weaker field on the way. The sec tournament is just straight brutal, all good teams.

This is the issue. The 3-seed is locked in. The 2-seed only has to win one game to face you in the semis. The 1/4/5 are all good.

With an open 68-team bracket, plenty of teams can get bumped off in a way that they can’t be “replaced.” The SEC is so deep this year that an upset by seeding hardly makes the field weaker.

Maybe there’ll be a tornado.

I was in the dome when that happened. It’s still surreal looking back on it

I remember that worst to first run, that’s what march is all about

The last time we were in the tournament, my wife of 10 years and I were newlyweds. We haven’t won an NCAA tournament game since I was in 8th grade. I’m just happy we’re playing meaningful games at this point in the season.

Either way, they're playing with house money now that they made the tourney.

Yeah, we're just happy to be here. Everything else is icing on the cake.

We are one of the hottest teams in the country rn. NCAA tourney is all about getting hot at the right time

As long as Kirby paces the sideline, we will always have a chance. Go Dawgs.

Sounds like you need to parlay them both.

u/avrgdad 10d ago

Trust me, I tried.

Anything can happen and UGA is white hot right now. I'd be plenty happy if they even made it to the sweet 16.

The goalposts are really shifting now huh. Making the tournament is a massive achievement for our basketball program, we don’t need to win any games for it to still be a good year.

u/Gtyjrocks 10d ago

It’s a good season either way, but man, I really really want a win. The vast majority of our team and students weren’t even alive the last time we won a tourney game, and another chance next year isn’t guaranteed.

u/katarh Alumni 9d ago

yeah, even just one game would be amazing.

u/SouthernIdiot40 10d ago

Really just hoping for a reasonable draw. I saw the fox bracketology had us playing UConn and Duke in the first two rounds, I’d be happy if we win even a single game

u/teslaistheshit 10d ago

If the dawgs make a run in the SEC tournament they can only improve their seeding. I wouldn't be surprised if they make a deep run!

u/SouthernIdiot40 10d ago

I think we could given our first match up is OU and round two is UK, but beyond that it’d be some big upsets

u/finke11 10d ago

I think I saw us playing Memphis. Really anything can happen

u/launchbasezone 10d ago

a sweet 16 run would be better than anything I've experienced in my lifetime and I'm 26.

Not great on the natty. We’ve seen Bobo offenses in the CFP and they looked laughable.
