I clearly over stepped with the dumpster fire comment. We are a better conference than in previous years, which says very little. Regardless, I'll retract that statement.

Cool enough.

More importantly I don't see why after every win we have a thread touting us as "IN". Nothing about this ball club should indicate we will cake walk to a 1-1 finish.

I think the last 7 games are more of a testament to this team's progress than the 3 ugly losses. Inserting Patterson into the starting lineup and Martin playing hard has done wonder for this team. The TAMU loss was a hard pill to swallow, but LSU is 5-2 during that stretch with the only other loss coming by 2 points vs unbeaten UK. @AU rematch, @Tenn and today's game were all pretty much blowouts in LSU's favor.

Believe me I called this a tourney team before the half way point and think we can make noise, but I'd hardly consider it a done deal.

I think it's as close to a done deal as we can get at this point. The ugly losses can't be taken back at this point, but LSU has pretty much done what they've needed to do to recover. IMO one more win puts LSU in the NCAAT. Much different spot than we were in 8 games ago (back to back losses to @MSU and AU).

As I stated earlier, the SEC will have 6 teams top 50 RPI. LSU's record against Ole Miss and UGA is 3-0. LSU's record against overall top 50 RPI is 5-4 (better than every SEC team except UK). It's a good resume.
