re: Preview: Tennessee vs LSU – Fri 7 (No TV) | Sat 6:30 (CST) | Sun 12 (No TV)

From BA Stock Report regarding national seeds:

Over the last four years, no team lower than 12th in the RPI earned a national seed. But in 2009, teams No. 17 (Oklahoma) and No. 18 (UC Irvine) got national seeds, and in 2007 team No. 15 (Arkansas) did. So there is some precedent for teams with lesser RPIs getting national seeds. This feels like a year that will see multiple national seeds come from outside the top 10.

Ole Miss, Kentucky and LSU are all very much alive in the national seed hunt, and this picture could change repeatedly as these teams beat each other up over the final month.
