I would argue with your characterization as UF deserving to host as “fanhood” since most reliable publications and ultimately the committee made them a seed, and I don’t think they’re all Gator fans. Bottom line is +.500 in SEC games is what it is. Everybody in the league plays good and bad teams. However we were 6-13 against the other 8 teams in the tourney, so I can see where you’re coming from. Definitely the run in the tourney got us there.I'm glad to see it, but still unsure how deserved it is since the last 12 SEC games were against the very worst teams in the league. Frankly, I thought they would be a #2 seed in a ACC regional. That's just looking at it objectively, rather than fanhood.
That being said, I was impressed with the FSU, Arky, and Texas A&M win and it showed they could hang with and possibly beat any team.
It works out well because Oklahoma isn't a great away team and is prone to giving up a lot of runs. They seem very inconsistent, however they seemed to be pulling it together during the conference tournament. They remind me of UF, and whomever has the home field advantage would win, imo.
As far as no 2 seed in an ACC regional, we did win season series against FSU and Miami.
Anyway, not a vintage season but nobody will care if we can stack up 5 more wins.
