That's rather generous. I hope they're right.

If we win the SEC regular season and the SEC tournament we could be as high as a 4 seed.

Those are some big ifs. I'm not saying we can't do it, but at this time, we're still fighting just to get in the tourney. Seeding worries come later.

While waxing everybody in the SEC we've played recently.

The SEC is obviously down this year, and we're taking advantage of it.

I'll take a six seed, but I do feel at our pace, we could be looking at a 3 or 4 if things finish how they are playing out now and we show up in the SEC tourney.

That's what I have us being, a 6 seed, at the lowest. He has us as the highest seeded SEC team in the tourney. One problem with his pairings though, he has 3 of the only 5 SEC teams in same bracket, and that won't happen.

A 6-3 finish with another win in the tourney would probably get us there.

LSU can look at it as a good thing if we keep winning. We could be a 4 seed this year where as if we were in SEC 2 years ago with the same team now, we would have a tough time.

we have seven sec season games to go (I think), and we are 6-1 so far and playing very well... If we finish wining at 4 of those games, and a couple of sec tourney games we would be 24-8, and a likely 8 or 9 seed at best. We would have to win out almost all of our season games and at least 2 wins in the SEC tourney to be a 4 seed fellas, cuz our RPI is very low.

I think we will be fine if we keep playing like we are, as long as we win baby,

Honestly, based off of how well LSU has performed in the SEC this year, I don't think that overranking us. I think that as of right now, LSU and Tenn are 6 seeds. Uf would be a 7 or an 8. Then Uk would be on the bubble.

i think a 6 seed is realistic if we keep balling.

its interesting that fox had 5 sec teams in the dance.

LSU deserves to be a higher seed than Tennesse right now. We are simply the better team.

Oh shite a 2nd round matchup with Xavier. NOOOOOO.

6 is a definite posibility. Joe Lunardi has us as a 10 in his bracketology.

I think this is the most legitimate chance we've had in years to win the SEC tourney. Let's stay healthy though.

Hey Pbean, we have 9 SEC games left,Home vs Bama, Ole Miss, Auburn, Florida, Vandy. Road vs Miss St, Kentucky, Arkansas, Auburn. But we will go 7 - 2, 6 - 3 at worst the rest of the way. And I think 2 - 1 at worst in SEC tourney, which at worst puts us at 26 - 8. That should easily put us at no worse than a 6 seed, in my opinion, but what the hell do I know.

Actually, tennessee looks beter on paper than LSU when it comes to bracketology.
