LSU baseball might, maybe, somehow get in playoffs with an 8-3 finish?

LSU stands at a disappointing 6-13 with 11 games left. The remaining schedule is pretty favorable with 8 home games left (Auburn - 2 games, Aggies -3 games and Ole Miss -3 games) We play three games on the road at Alabama. The Aggies are the only team left to play with a winning record
Last year 10 sec teams made the playoffs with A&M being the only team to get in with a losing SEC record, 14-16. An 8-3 finish by LSU gets LSU to 14-16.
Of course getting to 14-16 is no guarantee we get in, but at least there is a precedent. If LSU did get to 14 wins, they would also have an argument they are vastly improved over their horrible start.
Realistically, even at 14 - 16, LSU might have to win a game or two in the SEC tnmt.
Auburn is terrible, so today and tomorrow are pretty close to being must win games. If LSU wins those two, then they would need to win only 6 0f 9 to have a shot.
It’s a long shot, but our pitching and hitting are coming around, albeit mostly against weaker SEC teams, Missouri and Auburn. Not sweeping Missouri hurt.
If we can miraculously get in, anything can happen. I would guess no one would want LSU as a 3 or 4 seed in their bracket.
Yes I know, blah blah blah. Lol. It just helps me hold my interest in the remaining games knowing we have a chance, however small (insert Jim Carrey so you’re saying there’s a chance meme here).

LSU is in at 14-16 even with 0 wins in the SEC tournament and they won’t be a 4 seed. Worst they can be is an at large 3 seed. Other than that they can help themselves out quite a bit with two more wins this weekend.

14 conference wins will get you in, 13 is iffy

13 wins will definitely get LSU in.

Not definitely. Possible. Not many good wins to help boost that 13 wins. Would be sweating it out.

LSU got in 2021 with 13 wins and went one and done in Hoover. They had a top 20 rpi though.

That’s why I said possible. But it’s definitely not a sure thing.

Rpi would most likely be same if we finish with 13 wins.

It’s called regionals not playoffs. All that research and the inability to call it the correct name.
Yes it is possible we make a regional and make a run

An 8-3 finish by LSU gets LSU to 14-16.

I would guess no one would want LSU as a 3 or 4 seed in their bracket.

Well he also called it playoffs instead of regional. Big retard red flag he put up.

If we get to Hoover we have a decent chance at getting a regional invitation as a 3 seed. I wouldn’t put money on it but I think it’s a better than a long shot chance.

Uh, it's a no brainer that they are in regionals with 8-3 finish but first of all the finish would be 11-3 because of the two mid week games.Secondly, their live RPI right now is 34 with 9 remaining games vs teams with top 40 RPI. Heck, the lowly Auburn team some of you refer to was at 42 before yesterday's loss. Thirdly, all of this translates to a projected RPI of 18 at end of year. This is per Warren Nolan, very reputable source.
Not only will they most certainly be a lock for regionals, with a little luck they would be on the cusp of hosting one...food for thought!

A regional is a playoff. Four teams play, three are eliminated.
But for argument’s sake, let’s say is regional is by some technicality is not a type of playoff. That fact somehow gives you reason to insult another tiger fan over a harmless post about hoping our tigers make it to postseason?
What a petty post. I dont get the mean girl thing some people have on here. I guess some folks need to run other people down to feel good about themselves.

Bruh. You’re trying to hard.
Regionals is a form of “playoffs”
