The interesting thing in all this is...............and I've been reluctant to believe this...........but the writers DO seem to have some kind of bias towards this team. The coaches on the other hand have us ranked #10 and it will be interesting to see where we move in both polls.

In terms of the NCAA seeding, I'm also confused as to why they keep bringing up strength of schedule, this late in the season. We moved down in the bracketology rankings on ESPN, WITHOUT LOSING A GAME. Why is strength of schedule a consideration, while the NCAA NET rankings have us at #9? Interestingly, in the NCAA power ten released this morning, they have LSU now at #6.

Personally, I’d love them to have us as a 3 or 4 seed. Mulkey of the team seem to thrive under disrespect. It seems crazy considering they almost knocked off the unanimous #1, but they have decided that overall the sec is down this year. Come tourney time I think we will find out that’s not the case.

LSU should be a 2 seed

I don’t care what excuse anyone tries to make for a weaker non conference which did include two games against top 12 teams.

Anyone that watched the South Carolina/LSU game knows that LSU is far better than a 4 seed.


I don't care about 2/3...I just don't want to be 4.

But I said yesterday somewhere--only a fool would try to tell you LSU isn't one of the best 12 teams in the nation.

If LSU ends up as a 4-seed, it tells you the committee either relies too much on metrics or they just don't watch any games. There HAS to be a human "eye test" element to this.

I personally think if LSU wins vs the bottom feeders in KY/Georgia this week and make it to the championship game in the SECT (win at least 2 games), LSU will enter the NCAAT as a 3 seed when its all said and done

Everyone said the SEC was down last year and it was just us and SC. Come tourny time we had 4 teams make the Sweet 16 and nearly a 5th.
