4 more conference wins and I think you’re in assuming there isn’t a large # of bid stealers.
14 and there is no question.
LSU will be an interesting regional team. They've got the pitching to win the first two games, it's what happens after that which is in question. Whoever draws them as a 1 will be under a lot of pressure to hold their ace for game 2, so just as important as where LSU is sent might be the four seed that goes to that regional (a weak one allowing the host to hold their ace for a potential winner's bracket game against LSU).

the committee has kind of shown in recent years they don't care about what happens in Hoover. For instance, in 2021 LSU was squarely on the bubble with a 13-17 SEC record. They went 0-1 in Hoover, still got an invite. Ole Miss in 2022, squarely on the bubble with a 14-16 SEC record, goes 0-1 in the SECT, still gets in. 2019, Florida had a 13-17 SEC record, squarely on the bubble, went 0-1 in the SECT, still got in. In 2017, South Carolina went 13-17 in the SEC, made it to the semi-finals of the SECT, and did not get a bid.
The committee looks at it like they probably should. Winning a couple of games in the SECT, where some teams aren't even trying to win, shouldn't be given much weight over what you did the rest of the season where everyone was trying to win. IMO, conference tournaments should be largely ignored outside the auto-bid for winning it.
