Lunardi: Florida could slip to 5 seed

Renowned ESPN Bracketologist Joe Lunardi has Florida a four seed, playing in Orlando.

But Lunardi said the Gators could slip to a five seed if they lose their opening SEC Tournament game Friday against the winner of Vanderbilt and Texas A&M.

"They could also stay the same," Lunardi said. "No result happens in a vacuum. What are all the other 4s and 5s doing. I've had years where in doing an update on a Monday, all four number one seeds lost in a given weekend, so nothing changed."

If Florida slides to a five seed, it won't be guaranteed opening NCAA Tournament play in its home state. Lunardi said he has the Gators as a No. 4 seed based on their current roster composition, taking into account starting center John Egbunu is out for the year with a torn ACL. The Gators are 3-2 since Egbunu went down Feb. 14, with losses to Kentucky and Vanderbilt.

"Most seem to have them kind of split between 3 and 4, so I might be in a small minority that has them as a 4," Lunardi said. "And I guess in part because I'm trying to factor in the current roster, which is shorthanded, and to me that's worth half a seed line to a seed line … if they get to the final against Kentucky, they will be no worse than a four. If they lose to someone else I suppose they could slide to a 5, but overall their numbers and profile are still pretty strong."
