Yeah. LSU and UK have almost the same resume. LSU has a share of the SEC Title, but UK has a 2-1 record head-to-head with a chance to make it 3-1.
Personally, I think LSU is in. UK is probably battling Stanford at this point rather than LSU, along with a bias to not select 3 teams from the same conf. to be national seeds.
Baseball focuses their seeding on geography much more than basketball. I would imagine the committee would much rather have another West Coast top 8 seed (Stanford) for geographical purposes. That, and the fact that Stanford's long time coach is retiring may be the sentiment to give them the final national seed.
An LSU win tonight erases all doubt (unless UK ultimately goes on to win the SECT), but I think UK is going to get screwed here mainly because of location

I agree with you that UK should get in over Stanford. Don't believe USM should get in above Stanford though.
The reason I am keeping UK as the first team out right now is because of only having 1 West Coast team in, which I agree is a stupid reason.
Regarding USM....Stanford has about the same RPI and has a better SOS, so I think Stanford certainly has the edge (especially when you throw in the location).
If UK beats LSU tonight I think I will move them into that 8th spot and remove Stanford.
Stanford can either benefit from not having a tournament, but it could also really hurt them. UK goes on and wins the SEC, then they should get in above Stanford who will be hurt by not having a tournament and getting a shot to win, probably getting a win over Oregon State along the way. It could help them though, by UK losing out pretty soon, combined with USM losing in their conference tourney. Stanford should not have much trouble taking 2 of 3 this weekend.

The committee doesn't do who gets in based on location. They set the match ups based on the location of the national seeds with the other hosts. Last year they didn't have a regional west of Texas for example..
ETA: Also, for people that think we aren't already a lock or that Stanford or somebody could pass us, we've had the highest attendance for over 20 years. Which means $$ for the ncaa.
