I’m about to hit the road to Duluth, Ga., for the Auburn women’s basketball team’s first-round, SEC Tournament matchup with Florida, but before I leave, I want to confuse the heck out of all of you.

A long discussion took over the media room after last night’s historic 89-80 upset over Mississippi State when it came to determining Auburn’s potential SEC Tournament seed. Considering that Auburn will need upsets galore to make an impact in the tournament, whatever seed it receives may seem minute. And it very well may be. But the difference between the fourth and fifth seed is huge, considering that one team, should it win its first-round game, would face Final Four favorite Kentucky, while the other would match up with an apparently very beatable Mississippi State team.
