    We win two SEC games last week one being on the road and we move down to a 10 seed. I get they were two bottom of the barrel SEC teams but it is still two conference wins. All being said I would probably rather be a 10 than a 8/9 either way would help us in round of 32.

    These are the updates after Arkansas. We were off midweek. We actually moved up to 9 after beating Mizzou. Beat Ole Miss tomorrow night, and we are in pretty good shape barring a major collapse.

    Win these next 2, sell our souls if we have to to beat UK at home. Play loose at Aub and just see what happens, tighten things back up for the last 2. We probably need at least 3 wins down the stretch and UK at home or A&M on the road are 2 good Quad 1 win options as things currently sit.
    I would attend a function honoring those Somalian pirates if they served bacon wrapped shrimp.

    3 almost must win game OM/ TAM and LSU. These keep us safe in the Tourney. An Aubbie or KY win is Lagniappe.

    Other teams play too. They are not moving teams up or down independently.

    We?re in a little bit of an interesting spot in that we are not really on the bubble but also not terribly far from it, and one bad week could change our situation.

    If you offered me 2-1 against Ole Miss, LSU, and Kentucky, I would take it without much hesitation.

    Basically we need to win 3 of Ole Miss, @LSU, @aTm and SC. UK and Auburn would be crazy, but those 2 are long shots. Do that and we are pretty solidly in the field.

    We needed to max out the point differential against Arkansas and didn't. We won that game and our NET dropped 2 points.

    Arkansas is 25 spots away from turning into a Quad 4 win.

    Go 3-3 no matter the wins and we will be in. Anything less than that and it gets dicey. But I like our wins a lot against other bubble teams.

    NET does not factor in scoring margin.

    It does factor in efficiency though, so big wins help

    Not explicitly, but offensive and defensive efficiency are a part of the formula, so winning by a bigger margin is better than winning narrowly.

    I cant see us beating UK. They will have their refs coming in on the team bus with them.
