Why are people acting like Auburn is already our Friday opponent? They likely have to get past a surging MSU to even get there.

UGA and Vandy are probably already ahead of LSU in the NCAAT seedings.

You’re normally a fairly intelligent poster.
What made you come up with this dumb shite in the name of: “Oooh!! We mays nots bee a top eight seed!”

The idiot posters here who think Hunt Palmer is completely off his rocker for saying LSU may need to go ahead and win a game this week to feel completely safe.
It's not a far fetched idea. LSU has the 6th best RPI in the SEC. Out of 16 teams in the SEC, LSU has the 16th place strength of schedule (34 overall). There are some concerning angles out there, so it would be best to not leave it to chance.

LSU 2011. RPI was like 23. They got left at home.
And what is the RPI now?
And what was their consensus ranking in 2011? How many SEC regular season games did they win?

That stuff is already baked into the RPI. A&M got a top 5 national seed in 2022 with a RPI of 22 (they finished second in the SEC that year).

Texas A&M was the preseason favorite to win SEC. Missouri, the cellar dweller all season, swept A&M on their home turf.

I don't have to, LSU is dead last in the SEC in strength of schedule, 34th in the nation. That's why teams that we finished ahead of in SEC standings have higher RPI's than we do. It should be at least a little bit concerning that we only have the 6th best RPI of SEC teams. Will the committee give 6 SEC team a top 8 seed?

Your OP was about conference games, not non-conference games.
I agree we should up the non-conference schedule a tad, with at least one decent non-conference series
The conference schedule balances out, though, to your point about USC/Mizzou… which is why I brought up games against both Texas and Arkansas .. which LSU is 1 of only 5 SEC teams to play both. All that stuff in conference scheduling balances out over the course of 10 weekends
And even if you remove USC/Mizzou wins from all teams conference record (which I think is a unnecessary/strange thing to do, but I understand the thought), LSU still finishes 4th in the SEC standings btw LINK: Remove USC/Mizzou wins
1. Texas- 0.704
2. Vanderbilt- 0.633
3. Arkansas- 0.583
4. LSU- 0.560
5. Georgia- 0.556
6. Auburn- 0.519
7. Tennessee- 0.481
8. Alabama- 0.481
9. Ole Miss- 0.462
10. Miss St- 0.400
11. Kentucky- 0.393
12. Oklahoma- 0.385
13. Florida- 0.375
14. Texas A&M- 0.296
15. South Carolina- 0.200
16. Missouri- 0.100

Wow, would you look at that. The recalculated standings, using this absurd cherry-picked metric, results in essentially the same 1-16 conf standings as counting all conf games.
+1 point to JP.
-1 point to Choup.

Yup.

Playing Missouri and South Carolina will not play any role or be considered in any way by the committee outside of how it has impacted RPI and Strength of Schedule. They would have to go through every team in seed consideration and look at whether they played any teams near the bottom of their conference. Honestly it's preposterous.

ok?
D1 has us at 42. UNC is at 41 but their spot seems to be locked up only because they are the default ACC pick?
Oregon is somehow in the conversation yet LSU has 5 series wins better than Oregons best conference series win.
Texas' non-con is just as bad as LSU's and UNC's isnt all that much better.

SEC Records vs Top 2 (Texas and Arky)
Florida: 4-2
LSU: 3-3
A&M: 2-4
UGA: 2-4
Mizzou: 0-6
By your logic, we must exclude the worst non-Mizzou records (UGA and A&M) from Top 8 contention and elevate the best ranked record (Florida) to Top 8 seed status.
This is why looking at the resumes from the macro is best. Flawed logic starts encroaching when you look at data points in a vacuum like this.
Thanks to Choup for making the Selection Committee’s process look much more objective and reasonable by comparison.

I didn't just make up "what if the committee looks at series against Missouri differently?" It's been discussed by local and national baseball podcasters for the last month.
I know we are ranked #1, but I don't see us being seeded higher than Texas, Arkansas, and Vandy.
UGA is the #1 RPI in the nation so that's iffy as well,
