Mighty Mo is changing the Equation!
They take 2 from TAM! This is dropping AM's RPI by -14 points since Friday Morning. I guess losing to Mizzou is not that horrible

MSU leaps Troy in RPI
Might be in play for a low 2-Seed?
Missouri catches fire just as we are about to play them. At this point nothing guaranteed about winning that series.Quote:

One of our worst coaches whipped that ass two years in a row, and in essence helped to rebuild their crappy program by forcing them to go out and hire Kiffin, who now owns OUR ass!
Florida is playing like a National seed these days. Someone is going to get a very bad paring with those guys.
#16 RPI but with a sub-500 SEC record.
There could be a few nasty SEC #2 seeds heading to Empty ACC stadiums
Florida still has a shot at hosting
RPI is up to 30...is MSU in #2 seed territory?
+2 after Thursdays win over Mizzou.
7 wins away from hosting.Quote:

Fla is pissing their pants this last weekend
Nasty Bunch up to 24 in RPI and they are about to beat Troy again tonight. They sweep Troy and the Nasty Bunch could easily host
If they do host, MSU will be sent there. The NCAA likes doing that.Quote:

But they were also a last 4 In the Regional team. Brutal.
Unless their AD on the committee has major pull, Southern Miss will not host. Not with Coastal Carolina pretty much guaranteed to host from that conference. Likely host sites, in no particular order: Texas, LSU, Arkansas, North Carolina, Florida State, Auburn, Georgia, Vanderbilt, UCLA, Coastal Carolina, Oregon, Oregon State, and TCU. The three remaining sites will come down to Alabama, Clemson, Ole Miss, NC State, West Virginia (fading hopes of hosting), and Dallas Baptist.
No they can't. Only move up 1 RPI spot. They basically have to win their tourney to have a shot. Coastal won the conference, so they have to beat them.Quote:

Being the 10 would get us South Carolina. You win that and you are playing a team like Auburn, Tennessee, Florida, or Bama in round 2.
Win those 2 and you probably get inside the Top 30 since these are at a neutral site and your next game is likely against a Top 10 RPI team.
11 seed, late game vs A&M, winner gets Auburn, winner gets LSU. I really like our chances.
Ya’ll say that like we didn’t just watch a team with a 28 RPI host last yearQuote:

Yeah because someone on the committee last year wanted to **** us over.Quote:

Anything can happen with these committees and they arent going to give the SEC the 10 host spots it deserves. Coastal is already a lock to host.Quote:

Then MSU should stop playing them in Baseball and develop a Tulane series. And, dump them from Regionals at every chance. And never play them in Football or anything else.Quote:

I know. Some people on here act like I just casually make up shit.Quote:

All it does is use us as a measuring stick for their programs. Yes we generally win but why risk it and promote their programs. Don’t give them the chance or the monies or prestige of playing us.Quote:

I am for playing Tulane regardless whether we play USM or not for the record.Quote:

Tenn has lost 5 SEC series in a row and are not hosting unless they get some wins in Hoover
