Calling all possums please report to Alex Box for the Ole Piss series

So 2/3 & 2/3 then win 2 in Hoover and we have a 78% chance of getting in (more like 99% chance) plus the SEC as a whole is the strongest from top to bottom ever.

Comes down to beating the gumps. Not to be captain obvious but win the second road series of this season in Tusky and the chances of NCAA improve tons

If anybody has possums in their area, set a trap and bring him to the next game.

LSU would also have the “hot right now” factor, which would let us shave a win off of these percentage charts.

Give me a break with that fricking chart. How many of those 12 win teams were defending national champions and won the series against the #1 team in the nation, and were the best college baseball program in the nation for the last 32 years?

I don't know but we aren't getting in with 12 wins.

"LSU will need to win both series to have a chance at making the postseason."

This is statistically incorrect according to the chart.

They could sweep one series to get to 12 wins and have an 18% chance while not winning a single game in the other series.

13-17 will getem in. PM's last year was 13-17. LSU lost to Tenner in supers that year.

I don't believe the chart is including the SEC tournament wins. So, going 3-3 and winning a game in Hoover will put you at the 13 win mark, an RPI in 28-30 range and of course we are the defending national champs. You have to realize that historically the SEC is very good, but this year is an anomaly. I think it's the best of all time for a 14 team conference. Auburn with the worst record was ranked earlier in the year and has a 17-3 non conference record. All teams are sub 50 RPI with exception to Mizzou which just fell out recently. It's stacked man and it will give more credence around selection time.

If the defending national champion is border line then we are in. Also the committee will realize that we are better for viewership then the team that would be left out. We will likely still be the 3 seed in some region. Looking at the current standing I could see them sending us to Wake Forest. That would be must see TV.

Go 2/3 and 2/3.

We need 5 more wins. LSU is and never will be in that 38% at 13 wins, unless we win 4 or more in Hoover. We will never get the benefit of the doubt with the committee.

What? LSU would get the benefit of the doubt moreso than any other college baseball program out there, especially being defending champs. tRant has such a victim mentality.

LSU could win 0 more games and be in the discussion.

LSU is going to sweep Bama and Ole Miss. So 78%.

LSU would 100% be getting in in that scenario. We’d be #8 in the conference and have a top 25 RPI. SEC always puts in 8+ teams

And hot at the right time. The committee looks at that.
