it’s a small percentage of SEC teams that have gotten into a regional at 12-18. Our OOC losses compounded would put us in the camp of not getting in

we would probably have to make a decent tournament run.

At 12-18 we’d need to get to the semis or championship game in Hoover. At 11-19 our only hope would be winning the championship and getting the auto-bid.

Goes to show you just how big those few late inning collapses really were.
Yeah. We've lost every toss up game we've played outside of game 1 vs. Tennessee.

If you flip half of those, we're legit in contention for hosting at this point.

Errors in Vandy game 1.

Errors in OU games 2 and 3.

Error against Tenn game 2.

Errors in games 1 and 3 against OM.

General implosion in all 3 games against MSU.

We could very easily be 13-11 in conference play right now.

Margins are very thin in the SEC.

I think we need six sec wins however you get them to get in.

If we win 5/6 the next two weeks, we can get bounced in R1 of the SECT and would still make it.

We’re a pathetic 4-13 against Q1 teams and have a whopping 5 yes 5 Q4 losses.

12 SEC wins isn’t enough nor should it be.

It’s normally 14 SEC wins but I have seen a team get in with 13. Those are few and far between though

Say we win 3 out of the next 6, can you get in?


No. And I don’t think it would be that close either.

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



Probably accurate.

The difference a game can make, 13 probably gets LSU in with 1 SECT win, but a lot of that will be because they would have won 4 out of 6 against Georgia and Florida, which means either winning both series or sweeping one of them.

I think he is right. But I do not think 12 gets us on the bubble.

If Milam just touches his spike on second we would have a legit shot at this

In my honest opinion it would take 14 SEC wins.

If the city of Omaha gets a voter, LSU will definitely get in. They love our Tiger fans.

I don’t think so with the OOC schedule and results. Have to watch the RPI. I think we might get a bump in selection just because of the brand. But not enough to get in with only 12 conference wins.

im saying thats what we would need for a chance and it would be near impossible to be top ten rpi with 12 wins in sec unless you just won every midweek game and all of your hardest series

I am going to guess those 13-win teams that got in did not have 5 quadrant 4 losses like we have.
