I understand SC sucks, but we are playing better baseball. Next weekend will be tough with Georgia. Say we win 3 out of the next 6, can you get in? I guess we would probably have to make a decent tournament run.

We’d have to make a run in the tourney. 13 has been the floor for regular season wins. Even with 13 we’d probably still need a tourney win to boost our RPI.

We need our opponents to help our RPI now too. UCF is playing Arizona State currently and a win by them would help us a little bit.

If LSU makes the bubble, they will make it in. Too big of a brand/money to leave out

This has been proven false in the past. LSU has been left out as a “bubble” team in the past

In the past 10 years, the only SEC to make the tournament with 12 wins was 2021 Alabama in a season that was affected by Covid. So I’d say the chance of LSU making it with 12 wins is almost 0%.

The bubble (and the sport) was different in 2011. There was no TV or broadcast distribution to care about. Look at the largest draws of the 2024 post season. Pre-CWS, it was LSU UNC.

We also didn't even make the SEC Tournament then.

reigning national champion + LSU brand boosts you a few spots.

Since Mainieri took over, LSU has had 13 or fewer conference wins only 4 times.

2007: 12 wins and missed tournament
2011: 13 wins and missed tournament
2021: 13 wins and made the tournament
2024: 13 wins and made the tournament

IMO, the only way you're in with 12 is if you reach the SECT championship.

Top 10 RPI team with 12 regular season wins, while also making the SECT championship is 100% a lock

Not that it matters here, but that team would reach the post season guaranteed.

Judging by the fact that LSU was a 2 seed just two season ago in the chapel hill regional with only 13 wins in sec play shows that they were pretty much a lock before even the SEC tournament run. 13 will get us in.

Goes to show you just how big those few late inning collapses really were.

14 or 13+2 is what itll take IMO based on the metrics

While I think 13 gets us in, we also entered the post season with 40 wins and an RPI 40 places (15) above ours currently (55).

If we go 4-2 against two top 17 RPI teams in UGA and UF, it will rise. I know some posters here have used some sort of RPI simulator to see where it would be if we won those games, but I don't know what site they use.
