81% Informative
ESPN 's Jay Bilas said winning the SEC Tournament is harder than winning the national championship.
ESPN 's Bilas jumped the shark earlier this season , saying winning the NCAA Tournament is more difficult than capturing the national title.
The SEC has a record-breaking 14 tournament qualifiers, including four headliners Florida , Auburn , Tennessee and Alabama .
The conference accounts for more than 20% of the NCAA bracket.
ESPN assigned ESPN 's Bilas to call SEC Tournament games instead of his typical ACC assignment.
Seven of the last nine national champions were a No. 1 seed.
In the 39 tournaments since the bracket included at least 64 teams, no. 1 or 2 seed won the national championship 77% of the time.
