Is there not an SEC member on the NCAA Selection Committee?

I am wondering if the SEC rep on the selection committee will fight for a high seed for LSU in order to give the SEC a good chance at advancing in the bracket. I know LSU still has a few games to play, but if you were putting the bracket together RIGHT NOW - LSU should get at least a 4 seed, meaning we'd be in the Sweet 16 before playing the a higher seed.
Enough "flying below the radar" - the Tiger hoopahs deserve some love.
It's hard to do what they've done - I don't care what the conference RPI is.

do you know who the head of the committee is?

sec members have to leave the room when SEC teams are discussed.

Even a 4 seed has to play a 5 before making it to the Sweet 16. 4's and 5's are generally the same.

Yep. Good rule, too, IMO.

I'm still not entirely sure thats true nap, after witnessing LSU not getting in the field in baseball in 2006. LSU>Miss. St. that year, thank god their schools A.D. was in charge of the committee

Like nap said, that might have been an indirect influence ("peer pressure") to put them in. However, when they're being discussed, he can't be in the room. Also, in that baseball situation, you said he was in charge of the commitee. That's different than being part of it.

You're not allowed to vote on any team you're connected to. Literally, the computer you vote on won't even display your team. And you have to leave the room when any team you're connected to is being discussed. It's as impartial as it can possibly be.
If the selection was today we don't even sniff a 4 seed.

We're averaging a 6 seed among 54 brackets, with most of the major ones giving us a 7.

Just to go along with this, Ohio State's ATHLETIC DIRECTOR is on the committee (or was last year, at least). We were a bubble team last year(that had a pretty solid case/resume, too, IMO). We didn't make it in.

i brought up a hypothetical on another board that if lsu were to win out and win the sec tourney what seed would they be.
consensus was 3 or 4.

LSU was ranked #18 at the beginning of the week. The tigers are getting respect right now.

but our highlights werent even on sportscenter last night!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted on 2/25/09 at 2:52 pm to bbap
If we won out with winning the SEC tourney I'd guess that we would get a 4 or 5 seed. The long win streak and conference championship would be a big plus, but SOS/RPI would still be weak, with few wins against the Top 50 RPI.
Yea, but the FL game was on Sportscenter an hour ago. They even had a nifty "Under the Radar" graphic with a few facts (win streak, SEC record, etc).

2006 (entering tournament):
- 22 and 8 record
- 4 Seed
- 13 RPI
- SOS 0.5850 - #13 in country
- Non-conference SOS .7704 - #25
- 5 and 6 vs Top 50 RPI
- 4 and 2 vs 51-100 RPI
- 8 and 6 on the road/neutral
Today:
- 24 and 4 record
- 31 RPI
- SOS 0.5287 - #103 in country
- Non-conference SOS .2870 - #323
- 3 and 3 vs Top 50 RPI
- 5 and 0 vs 51-100 RPI
- 5 and 3 on the road/neutral
If we win out I can see another 4 seed as a possibility, but not a 3 seed. The SOS and non-conference resume just isn't there.
