And if Vandy and Ole Miss give us a little help, there's a decent chance we're SEC champs.
In a perfect world, we'd clinch the title on May 22, which could be a fun day for other reasons.

It would be nice if some of our current Top 100 RPI wins stay that way. Mizzou is currently 100. Troy is 95. Oregon is 93 (what a complete disaster and lack of help they've been, and Oklahoma is 88. I know it's little stuff at this point, but that's 8 wins of ours that have the chance to be lost from our Top 100 RPI category.
In addition, Arkansas is at 89. We knew the end of the schedule wasn't the hardest, but it would be nice if those guys could find a way to stay in the Top 100 RPI.
Maybe I read it wrong... it's currently 8 at D1.
I think we dropped from 7 to 8. Maybe NCState jumped us and OM.Quote:

That would put us losing one of these last two series. We will not be a national seed if that's the case. We will have to win both series.Quote:

Do you mean just sweep AU regardless of what happens against Arky?Quote:

FSU is about to be knocked out of the NS, having lost 3 straight, and 5 of their last 9 to unranked teams. That opens up another spot should would falter slightly.
We are a lock to host, no question. And we don't have to do that much more to get a national seed. I think a lot of our fans think we're a borderline national seed as it stands now, and I don't know why. We would likely be the 4 or 5 seed if the season ended right now. If we win both these last 2 series, it's a no-brainer, and even if we lose one of them, I still think we would be in.
It literally doesn't matter at all what those teams near a 100 RPI on our schedule do.
As it stands right now, if today was selection day, I don't think we are anywhere near borderline national seed. We should be solidly in as a mid seed. Top 8 RPI, average ranking of all 7 polls between 3-4, what more is there? However, drop one of these last two series and we may be borderline. Drop them both and we're probably out.Quote:

I think FSU is out unless they win the ACC tourny. I now believe that Texas Tech is in. To me we are playing for a top 5 seed instead of a seed at all. We win out which os sweeping both AU and Arky, and say we win the SEC tourny, we may very well be looking at a top 2 seed. We are still very much in the hunt for the SEC west title and possibly overall title(need alot of luck).Quote:

Yep... UM vs TAMU and USC vs Bama will determine who gets that 4th National Seed between USC and UM..assuming UK doesn't do us a favor this weekend.Quote:
