In terms of a geographic advantage for Florida, there isn’t really one available. Even as a top seed, UF could be paired with a No. 2 seed that is closer to the venue site, removing any real advantage they would have in advancing.

The second set are Florida's seeds five years in a row starting in 2001 where they didn't make it past the second round. Both average about 3.5. For the Gators and really any team, it is about getting hot at the right time, matchups, and hopefully having some teams in your region get upset before you play them. With the parity this season, a 3 seed won't be much different than a 2 or even a 1.... 3,5,3,1,2,7

You don't want the selection committee looking at your resume and seeing a win against a garbage FSU team as your best road win. If you don't believe FSU is currently best road win, choose another. Yale??????? Road losses to only good teams---Agreed????---we have played: Arizona, K-State, Missouri and Tennessee. I ain't calling an Arkansas team that will not make the Tournament "good." The more I think about this, we better beat Kentucky because those guys sitting in that suite probably will not be looking through orange and blue glasses.

I think we just need to win out or WIN the last 2 SEC games and at least 2 of the 3 tourney games and we will be assured of a 2! Go Gators...Stay healthy.
