Why are you talking about being ranked in the top 16? No one gives an F about that. We all know that. It's about Top 8 and has always been about Top 8.





he was talking about a national seed which usually means top 8 ..if he was talking top 16 he would say hosting a regional



They started ranking all 16 regional hosts as a national seed in 2018. Originally the top 8 seeded teams who would host a Super Regional were considered the "National Seeds."
So amongst LSU fans, when you hear National Seed, they're usually referring to the top 8 seeds.

IF it happens, and I don’t think it will, but if it does it’s human error. These committees take away from on field accomplishments by making their decisions superior to actual results.

The CFP committee is one of the biggest crocks of shite alive. And it’s in place to eliminate actual results and a certain conference dominating the rankings. I know last year the sec in football was a bruised turd overall but historically they did this to stop the sec from dominating the results driven rankings and now we use human analysis.

I doubt we get more than 4 out of sec in top 8. Right now probably Texas and ark guaranteed.....2 more coming from vandy, ga, and lsu. I don't know how the brackets play out but of both of those teams get hot in trny and we one and done...who knows

Seems like a lot of folks are losing their positive regard for Hunt. I listened for a while and he was ok. Comparing him to other BR media talking heads is not much of a standard though.

His latest take about maybe not being a national seed is an opinion, I’ll just say that bc he seems like a decent guy. I’m not sure you’d find any reputable sources out there saying LSU is anything but a lock to be a top 8 national seed at this point and likely top 4-5 at that.

This is why I believe that 20-10 in SEC play should be the goal each year.

It does not count. Last year LSU went to the Tournament with a 13-17 record. And left the Tournament with a 13-17 record. Now wins and loses improved but not in the SEC.

There is already zero doubt whatsoever. I don’t understand how some of yall can think that the most blue blood program in the country can be ranked #1 in EVERY POLL going into the final regular season weekend, go ON THE ROAD and win an SEC SERIES, get to 19 WINS and finish 3rd in the conference, and somehow not get a top 8. Y’all are making this way harder on yourselves. I know RPI and Q1 and Q2 wins/ losses are a factor, but for them to hold the unanimous #1 team in the country out of hosting all the way through, would blow up the entire ranking system.



Not only that… from a monetary standpoint, LSU gets more butts in the seats than just about anyone.

If it’s close… lsu will get the nod over some team that can sit 1k fans.

The SEC got 5 last year and the conference is stronger this year.

I just want to win one in the SECCT so we have an even 20 conference wins total and leave no doubt whatsoever.




That’s not how it works.

5 is the expected outcome. Some have even said 6 but I’m not sure about that one. 4 would be very surprising. I expect 6 before 4 would happen.

Anyone thinking that LSU won’t get a top 8 seed can post here. We will be glad to mock you after the brackets are drawn by the NCAA.

You are talking out of your arse. As someone said there were 5 SEC national seeds last year and the conference is stronger this year. The SEC is getting 5 and they aren’t leaving out the conference’s #3 team in LSU.

18 is generally seen as the magic number & those 4 are already there.

The 3rd ranked SEC team is getting a top 8 seed. Period. We could lose 18-1 in our SEC tournament game and I still think we are a lock.

For all of his football knowledge, he is lacking in baseball competency and is giving best guess hoping for it to sound somewhat plausible.

Are you sure those tournament wins count towards SEC regular season wins? LOL



In LSU’s case maybe not but for other bubble teams yes they are considered conference wins
