if you continue to win weekend series', you should get a top 8 seed.

note- don't drop midweek games, though.

15-0, plus winning the SEC tournament should do it.

Finish 1st or 2nd in the SEC. We really need some quality wins on our resume right now (currently just 1-6 against the top 25 RPI). 10-5 minimum finish to the SEC schedule.

A miracle. RPI is too low to get a natty seed imo.

I think a top 8 will be hard for us

But if we win every series from here on out (at least 2 sweeps) and win the tournament we should have a shot

As a guide, this is from Boyd's World RPI Needs Report. It's what it would take for us to finish the season in the top 8 of the RPI. This assumes that all teams maintain their current winning percentage which obviously will not happen but it's still a rough guide. And I know that the national seeds aren't simply the top of the RPI.

Top 8:

7 home wins, 8 road wins, 1 neutral wins
7 home wins, 9 road wins, 1 neutral wins
8 home wins, 7 road wins, 1 neutral wins
8 home wins, 8 road wins, 0 neutral wins
8 home wins, 9 road wins, 0 neutral wins
9 home wins, 6 road wins, 1 neutral wins
9 home wins, 7 road wins, 0 neutral wins
9 home wins, 8 road wins, 0 neutral wins
9 home wins, 9 road wins, 0 neutral wins

I think if LSU can win the West and make it to the SEC Championship game, win or lose, they will get a Top 8 seed.

Being 8-6-1 (SEC).

15 SEC games. Need to finish at least 10-5.

SEC tourney: Need to win at least 3 games/ or win tourney.

Don't lose anymore midweek games.

Pray for an eight seed. And hope top 10 teams falter down the stretch and conf. Tourneys.

Most likely scenario is 9 home wins and 6 road wins.
