No, but if LSU hosts a Regional, esd hitch seems likeky.... we could host the Supers depending on the bracket...

We would likely be paired against an SEC #2 seed that wins a Regional.

You don’t give a national seed to the 20th best team that got hot one week. I believe the seeding is determined before the tournament championship (don’t know that for a fact, but I read it somewhere).

In short, LSU is not even close to a national seed because 17-13 is disqualifying. Funny thing is that in another thread someone wrote that if LSU wins the tournament ranters will be posting that we should get a national seed.

LSU was a national seed in 2014 with 17 sec wins

IF we beat Vandy today our RPI would be about 12 and our SOS would be about 3 with 22 Q1 wins. Let’s compare that to the teams between us and the 7/8 seed

Louisville - RPI 9, SOS 30, Q1 wins 19 (projected 7 seed)

Texas Tech - RPI 10, SOS 15, Q1 wins 15 (projected 8 seed)

Oklahoma State - RPI 6, SOS 3, Q1 wins 12 (projected 9 seed)

East Carolina - RPI 5, SOS 24, Q1 wins 12 (projected 10 seed)

Oregon State - RPI 14, SOS 17, Q1 Wins 16 (projected 11 seed)

Stanford - RPI 12, SOS 63, Q1 wins 8 (projected 12 seed)

WVU - RPI 11, SOS 28, Q1 wins 8
(projected 13 seed)

Overall, I think if we beat vandy we would pass WVU, Stanford, and maybe Oregon State. Would we have a case to make for a top 8 National seed? Absolutely. But there is no chance in hell the committee does it.

Midweek games matter when you don't take care of business in the SEC.

An SEC tournament champion 44-18 (17-13) LSU team would definitely be in the conversation for the 8 seed.

I said no chance in hell. Just thought it was interesting how favorably our resume compares
