Tennessee no longer look like an NCAA lock, and none of the teams that will get in look very good.


Goes on to say no others are in the top 35 RPI and LSU basically is weak at 36.

Says we lost to all three top 100 non conference teams but they don't mention that Xavier is ranked #19.

What gives?

If we played today, i think LSU wins 2 out of those 3.

This is why the committee looks at your last 12 games. Yes, we would win a couple of those now, but we didn't. But we will be far enough removed from them to have a great last 12 record, currently 11-1.

We're still in good shape if we keep winning. Road wins, last 10 games and our SOS will continue to improve along with RPI and total wins for a good worksheet.

Look at Memphis. Now that is one weak league they are in. Still,Memphis is in the top 5-6 (and yes,they are better and in all liklihood would beat LSU in Memphis,Baton Rouge or a neutral site). So,while the SEC is lean,its not going to do us much harm.

what the hell has Tennesse ever done to get so much respect. Every time they have a chance they choke it away. This LSU team though is still on the fence as a bracket buster in my mind.

It's fairly true though.
I think the real test will be when the Big Dance starts..we will see just how weak or strong the SEC is. Its hard to compare the SEC to other conferences this late in the season when nearly all our games are conference games.

Dude who cares what Rivals says? I'm probably enjoying this year of basketball even more than when we made the final four a couple years ago. So we might not have the best team. But they play their asses off and have earned a number 18 ranking. As long as our guys keep playing hard, we will make the tourney and then what can rivals say. Their opinion means nothing. Oh and one more thing. WE GOING TO THE SHIP! WHAT?

Saban paid them off again cause he doesnt want his old gig to look better in any way than his new one. Even if it is basketball! He even gave a speech to the basketball team ti=o get the fired up one game, maybe even the LSU game.
