Would much rather play our way into a 2 seed tho

Not sure that can happen.

Looking at the SEC, Tennessee is now taking their turn at #1. A&M is #3, Kentucky #4, Arkansas #5. Those 4 will be National Seeds.

South Carolina is #13, Miss State #14, Georgia is #15. Maybe 2 of them will host regionals.
SC has UGA and Tenn left.
Miss State has Ark and Mizzou left
Georgia has SC and Florida

After that, you have Alabama, Vandy, Ole Miss, LSU, Florida fighting for spots.

Ole Miss- 25-22 overall, with 7 games left. Home series vs A&M, at Southern Miss midweek, at LSU final series. That's tough, I think they're out.
Alabama-at Troy midweek, LSU at home, at Auburn. 29-18 overall. I think they can get a bid, but we should be able to pass them overall.
Florida- South Fla midweek, home vs Kentucky, at UGA. 24-23 overall. They will have to finish strong, because the overall record sucks. Questionable whether they get a bid.
Vandy- home vs Louisville midweek, home vs Tennessee, at Kentucky to close. 32-16 overall. That's a brutal finish, but I think they are in, and they could host a regional if they finish strong.

That leaves LSU:
we're going to be behind the 4 national seeds, the 3 currently ranked in the mid-teens, and Vandy (that series win in the Box seals it). That puts us as potentially the 9th team taken from the SEC. We may well be the 2nd best team in the regional, but I don't know if that gets us a 2 seed.
