I couldn't imagine a scenario where LSU would make it, but winning out and making it to the SEC tournament would be making a hard case for LSU. I think it would be possible. I've started seeing some national guys saying that LSU has been playing good ball. I expected our RPI to end up around 80 at the beginning of hte year, but winning out would probably bring our RPI up a pretty good bit. I know Arkansas has some good wins at home which really covers up their poor 1-6 record on road in SEC.

Mizzou on the road would be the game that starts to get LSU recognized. We'd probably want Ole Miss to keep winning if we were looking for NCAA tournament.

Its a really tough thing, because up to this point LSU doesn't deserve to be in the dance. Wins against Auburn and SC at home would have changed my mindset, but at this point I don't think they will let us in, even if we finished super hot.

I don't think we win out (minus SEC Championship), but if we did I'd say about 25% chance. This site says similar:

It has LSU's chances at 23% if they win out minus SEC Champ. SEC wins just don't hold very much weight because everyone thinks the league sucks (good reason to think so).

Found out some more info on these discipline suspensions that we've had a few of this year. I can't say much because people's jobs are at stake because they weren't supposed to tell me anything, but I will say it's nothing major, and no one should be worried about the players that have been involved getting kicked off the team or anything.

(You can read that as it's not weed and it's not actual class grades).

Maybe my thinking is out of line, but I think a realistic, albeit slightly unlikely conclusion to the season is for LSU to finish 3-1 and lose in the semis or finals of the SEC tourney. I think if they go 3-1 and lose in the finals, they'd have a strong case to make the Big Dance, although certainly no guarantee. If that was the case, they'd have a ridiculous end of season record and be one of the hotter teams in the country and definitely peeking at the right time. What say you SoS and others? Is this unreasonable.
