I don't see how Stunford passes up LSU in this discussion no matter what. LSU is a lock.

I think the question is, if UK keeps winning is there any way they are left out of these top 8 in favor of Stunford? Nope.

So, I think it's between UK and the Trees only for #8.

This is basically the case. We don't know how much the committee is going to favor having 2 west coast teams in though.

If they absolutely want Stanford to be in as a second west coast team, assuming they take care of business this weekend (which they should), then it becomes a discussion of who is getting bumped out for Kentucky.

For that to happen Kentucky probably has to win the SEC Tournament, and then it comes down to 1 of UK, LSU, Texas Tech, TCU not getting in. The only thing that makes me nervous is LSU being the likely candidate because they don't want to give the SEC 3 national seeds, even though LSU would have a better resume than Stanford, Tech and TCU.

Correct.

People who keep comparing LSU vs. Kentucky don't realize...

-LSU has the second most wins vs top 50 rpi teams in the nation. (only behind Florida)
-LSU has the seventh hardest schedule to date (only behind Florida in terms of rpi)
-LSU shared a regular season title with Florida in the SEC.

The SEC got 4 national seeds last year, this year they will get at least 2 and very well may get 3. If Kentucky earns a national seed (which they very well may) it will be from another team.
