Bless his heart.

Doesn't really matter. Our RPI is about 9. I think we're good though.

i humbly submit that I give absolutely ZERO fricks what Hunt Palmer's laughable opinions are.

We will have a new tournament field tomorrow night at @D1Baseball. I feel VERY good about these teams as Top 8 locks (in no order). @RazorbackBSB @BaseballUGA @LSUbaseball @DiamondHeels @TexasBaseball @VandyBoys -- @AuburnBaseball close. Others in mix as well.

I agree with everything he said except Auburn. Very difficult to be a top 8 seed with a 17-13 conference record.

Originally I felt similar to Hunt. We are in a solid spot, but there is still moving parts around us that could change that. But after reading this post, I'm convinced we are a 100% lock.

We are ranked number 1 in the country. How the hell are we not a lock to be a top 8 seed?

He is trying to create some buzz or talk or something. No way he really believes this, he isn't stupid even though this makes him look that way.

The rankings don't mean anything when it comes to seeding. I feel LSU should solidly be a top 8 seed, but they aren't one of the 3-4 who absolutely will be a national seed no matter what. There are a few resumes that are better.

Then you have to factor in committee things like, do they only put a certain number of SEC teams as top 8? Do they ignore resumes to put 2 ACC teams in? Do they ignore resumes to put a west coast team in? Those unknowns are would could push LSU down to 9-10 if they don't win a bit in the SEC tourney, or Auburn does.

Warren Nolan had us at 9 in the RPI after winning yesterday. The issue is the RPI and the committees reliance on it for the top 8 seeds.

But I think everything else is pretty good in our favor. I haven’t checked Warren Nolan since today’s game ended.

I don't think he's wrong

95% chance we clinch after the win today

Have Auburn win the SECT, our RPI sit around #9-10, and the committe caps the SEC at 5 teams because of some "spread the wealth" BS and we could be the odd man out.

Again, very little chance this happens, but its possible, hence his "not a lock yet" stance.

I think we're good even if we go 0-1 in the SEC tournament, but it's not an absolute lock like people think.

I agree. Everything I have seen has LSU as the number 2 overall seed. Even if we go one and done I don’t think they would drop all the way out of a top 8 seed.

If you are talking about the graphic shown during the game, that same graphic had Tennessee at 4th. Idk what the hell that was, but it was in no way accurate.

That's where I'm at as well. Hence, I don't think Hunts take is complete garbage.

Some media may say LSU got to sweep Missouri while other SEC programs did not get the opportunity to play Missouri or South Carolina.

I think we'll be a top 8, but I don't think it's a no doubt, game over thing either.

I bet cash the TIGERS are top 8.......just my opinion, who else is better?

LSU has a brand that is attractive for TOP 8, super regional, and OMAHA...that gets us over the top.
