I don't think we would be 1 but I'd say a 2-3 seed would be likely.

Yea. I still think 11 wins gets us in. If we can get to 13 wins, we are looking at a 5 or 6 seed.

quote:you're still missing the point. it's not just lsu's opponents. it's lsu's opponents vs the opponents of rpi teams in front of lsu from other conferences. the sec is improved yes. but it's not demonstrably better than the acc, b1g, big12 etc. the teams from those conferences that are ahead of or near lsu in the rpi still have ranked/high rpi opportunities. lsu does not have that. that means lsu's margin for error is more narrow than theirs. with lsu dropping games against a&m types, that makes lsu's case questionable.
Still have 6 more games vs top 50 teams before the SEC Tournament
look at georgia. they have a significantly higher sos, are ahead of lsu and have a comparable record. their margin for error is much better than lsu's and they're in the same conference.

a top 50 RPI that's not too bad of a loss

11-7 will get us into the NCAA tourney (22-9). That should be good for 3rd place. I do not see the NCAA leaving 12 SEC teams at home.

They are good shape, but still have much more work to do. Still inconsistent and turn the ball over too much. Lost to probably the second worst team in the SEC a week ago. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Chances we are ranked on Monday?

You must be calling Joe Lunardi a dumbasse because he has us in the tourney as of today 
We go 12-6 or better we have a GREAT chance. 11-7 and 10-8 then were on bubble considering if we have any more quality wins

just look at the numbers. lsu has an unimpressive sos, even with @wva and an improved sec. the mizzou loss is outside the top 100 which is very bad. the vandy win is a relief but they're about to be outside the top 100 so the committee is going to view these types of games as merely taking care of business.

If we go 12-6 in sec I'm sure our rpi will be below 30

why? honest question. Who, outside of KY, is good in the SEC? The West is a joke. Alabama/Auburn both are bad, TAM beat us, but is not a good team, State and Ole Miss are not good, and Arkansas is not good either. In the East, Vandy is not good, Missouri is awful, Florida is down, SC no, Georgia and Tenn are to be determined, and KY is great. I'm not sure where all this SEC is improved is coming from. Outside of KY, there is no team that is capable of making a deep run.
I'm not hating, but all this "we will be ranked crap" is meaningless. We have several areas we need to drastically improve in for us to be considered a dangerous team in the tourney. The WVA win was a good win, but they damn near lost to TCU yesterday, and were destroyed against Texas. Before it's over, I'm not sure that win looks great. If LSU wants to gain respect, they are going to have to play Kentucky extremely well.

ETA: WVU damn near lost but they didn't which matters and Texas Tech beat #9 Iowa State yesterday and we beat them.

True, but most people mentally divide up the SEC like the East/West football divisions, regardless of whatever other sport they're talking about. I do the same thing.

Well our RPI is 37 now and there is a few top 50 RPI teams on our schedule. 3 that I know of that are below 30.
