But to say a 2 seed sucks is still extreme.
Let?s look at what a 2 seed level of improvement might look like:

2023 27-26 (9-21)

2024 33-23 (13-17) could possibly get a 2 seed. Is a 6 win overall improvement and 4 SEC win improvement good enough to stay the course and give Lemonis an extension? Because he will have to have an extension and therefore and extended buyout back up to $6 mil. plus.

You also have to look at the whole picture, not just that the team was <awarded> a 2 seed primarily based on conference affiliation. What if of the 6 non-con losses mentioned in my example, a few are to less than stellar programs? What if the 17 SEC losses include some ridiculous sweep or series losses?

I will forever maintain that the 21 team won it all in spite of Lemonis, built by previous staffs.
