Look for around #15 and a projected 4 seed if they win out this week.

We aren't the 18th best team in the country IMO fwiw.

Look how Texas, Oklahoma, Marquette, ect struggled against SEC talent.

To dominated a league as talented as the SEC, even if no other team is playing consistent basketball, is a feat that no team in the nation would find easy. The level of consistency LSU has shown is decent enough evidence that LSU is the 18th best team in the nation.

This is really nice but we have a lot of work to do. Look at the RPI for Florida and UK and you will see what I mean. I think we take the game on Mardi Gras but I am not sure at the trip to Rupp.

Now you know how Vandy feels anytime they have a good record.

LSU vs OSU (according to Lunardi)? Hmm.

I actually think that game could be possible, but not as a 8/9.

If we were in the Big East we would have at least the record that WVU has. LSU is a little more talented than them, and just as well coached. But even then, I think we would be good enough to be #18.
