Well even though the higher seeds were 1-7, the last two years, the favorites were 5-3. In 2024-2025, the favorites were actually 3-1 because a couple of lower ranked conference champions got byes. I think having the bye will be a GREAT problem to have next year because it will likely mean we won the SEC. If that happens, we'll just have to hope Sark knows how to get the guys ready to play after the layoff. This year we had over a month between the A&M game and Michigan and I thought the guys looked like they came out ready to play even with all the opt outs.
