I think youbare underestimating Arkansas, by a lot. They just got their ace back I believe and he is pitching well. Their starting pitching is phenomenal.

The pen (Cowan lost 2 games) is a series problem if Cowan doesn't snap back after 2 straight bad outings

Recently maybe

They don’t have a starter with an SEC ERA below 4.50.

I know it’s probably already been said but list the 8 teams ahead of us and explain why or else you and your whole family are trash.

We could take 2-3 from Arky and they’d still be ahead of us in the SEC. So really going 4-2 over the next 2 weeks, gets a top 8 seed. It doesn’t matter who we get them from.


Winning 2 of 3 from Arky is more of keeping Auburn off your arse. RPI loves UGA so that is going to be a tough ask. But Arky also has Tennessee the last week so you need that series win to boost all your metrics more than just head to head against Arky but it could come into play.

we need to sweep Carolina and win two against arkansas. if we win 1 against arkansas and sweep Carolina we need some help and a run in sec tournament to get top 8 seed
no, we don’t.

19 conference wins gets a national seed. We don’t need to do anything in the tournament with 19 conference wins to get a national seed.

If LSU is not then who the f*^k is!? The best teams have been beating up on each other every week. I mean hell fire Auburn just took 2 at Tennessee. Mississippi friggin State swept Kentucky. Arkansas swept Texas. Funny thing is though Arkansas had lost series a couple weeks in a row. Arkansas gonna get its arse kicked at LSU next weekend.

Now that grizzlylongcut has come out of hiding to start bitching about this team I really like their chances.

He shite all over the 2023 team all the way through the blowout loss to UF in Omaha.

This. Everyone sucks on the road. And we legit may have the best road series of the season sweeping Oklahoma. Don’t quote me on that, but I can’t think of anyone with a better road series in the SEC.

If we have 19 wins and series wins va Arkansas and Tennessee I think we get a top 8 seed.

We’d finish top 4 in the SEC there.

No. We won't.

The SEC isn't limited to 4 national seeds.

Say we lose 2-1 to Arkansas. Arkansas has a national seed, Texas has a national seed, that leaves 2.

Here are the standings

LSU 15-9
UGA 15-9
Tenn 14-10
Vandy 14-10
Auburn, OU, Bama, Ole Miss at 13-11.

Ole Miss plays Auburn, so one of them cannot get to 19 wins.

Bama cannot finish ahead of a 19 win LSU team.

OU cannot finish ahead of a 19 win LSU team.

In theory, Auburn could win out and be seeded above a 19 win LSU team.

Vandy plays Tennessee, so that eliminates one of those teams from jumping a 19 win LSU team.

The only way a 19 win LSU team is in the slightest bit of trouble is if Auburn wins out AND Vanderbilt wins out, while UGA also goes 4-2.

So technically speaking, yes, LSU needs help if they go 4-2 to close the season out, to get a first round bye in the conference tournament. Regardless, I don't believe a 19 win LSU team isn't a top 8 seed.
