The Florida Gators are the biggest losers of Selection Sunday

Winning the best conference in college basketball should give a team a little more confidence heading into the NCAA Tournament, but in the case of the Florida Gators the committee handed the SEC champions a challenging road to the Final Four.

The SEC boasts more tournament teams than any other conference in this year's March Madness bracket with 14 teams earning trips to the tournament, however, the Gators have stood out recently after winning their conference tournament and running through Missouri, Alabama and Tennessse en route to the title.

That being said, the Gators won't have an easy pathway towards making a deep.run in March thanks to what went down on Selection Sunday, including potential dates with St. Johns, Texas Tech, Maryland and last year's national champions Connecticut in the West region.

The Gators won their first SEC tournament in over a decade after closing the season on a strong run that included just two losses since the start of February.
