| Like Ed mentioned below, if you determine the seed size, I think that will help answer your question. Our SRWW seed here in KY ranged from around 9850 to 17,200 seeds per pound this year (see image below). So anyone planting by just pounds per acre (without making adjustments for seed size) may be falling over at the starting gate.
If you planted +/- 60 lb/ac of a small seed size (like 17,000), I bet your still fine for maximum yield potential, for an early November planting date in your area, especially if you hit it with N early to promote tillers. However, if you had a +/- 9850 seed count, I'm guessing you will have a yield hit if you compare it directly to an area planted at around the correct seed rate....
Remember wheat treated with a seed treatment fungicide (and especially seed treatments like Cruiser seed treatment) flows +/- 20 % slower than untreated seeds, especially if they are larger seeds.

How thick does wheat have to be to maximize yields in the south
