re: LSU outlook for hosting a regional

For those midweek games don’t matter people... this is the perfect example of how winning a few of those midweek games would really help out.

Not really. If we were 17-13 sec and won every single one of our midweek games we would be in the same position.

Not at all. LSU would be 39-17 and have a better RPI.

I did not put them in any particular order. I didn't want to turn this into a my opinion versus others opinion thread. More so just wanted to get out the numbers of where everybody was.

I think Oregon State is a lock too bringing the number to 12, leaving 4 spots.
Right now, I think the final 4 are:
13. N.C. State
14. Miami
15. LSU
16/17. Texas A&M/Baylor (depending on whether the committee values overall resume or conference resume more... I think the one that doesn't host will be the 2 seed in the other's regional anyway...)
18. North Carolina (17-13 ACC record, RPI of 20, big name, good facilities... could easily play into a host spot in the ACC tournament)
---------------------------------------------------------
I think Tennessee and Auburn would need to win the SEC tournament (or at least make the final) due to their 14-16 SEC records.
I don't think UC-Santa Barbara will be viewed very favorably due to having played 0 games against top 50 teams.
I think West Virginia would need to win the Big 12 tournament. 13-11 Big 12 conference record, 7-9 record vs. the top 50, no tradition, and poor hosting facilities make a combination that has little chance.
---------------------------------------------------------
Basically, LSU needs to win on Tuesday and not have A&M, Baylor, and/or North Carolina pass them in the pecking order...

Oh you're good! I was referring to Terrific Tales' post. Really appreciate the conversation starter. Gonna be an interesting week with many twists and turns as usual.

If Miami has the higher seed than us then the shite is rigged. Our resume is better than theirs in pretty much every way. I agree that those will be the teams sans Baylor

They have a better record, conference record, and rpi, it wouldnt be crazy at all
Posted on 5/19/19 at 2:03 pm to josh336
Their SOS is much worse. Their Q1 and Q2 records don’t compare.
Also, 18-12 ACC is not better than 17-13 SEC West

Yeah not even close, we'd be a regional host lock at almost 40 wins and RPI probably in the 10-14 range.

Look at our Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 win and loss. Only about 2 or 3 of those midweek losses really affected our RPI at all. Our RPI really got messed up because of Missouri, Texas, and Ole Miss.
Posted on 5/19/19 at 2:12 pm to Terrific Tales
Q3 and Q4 losses hurt your RPI a good bit
Posted on 5/19/19 at 2:13 pm to Terrific Tales
LSU has 34 wins. That's pathetic. You're insane if you think 39-17 wouldn't be different than LSU's current 34-22.
Posted on 5/19/19 at 2:14 pm to thunderbird1100
And we only have 2 Q3 or Q4 losses.

I believe if ucsb can keep a top 15 rpi, they will get a host spot. But their rpi could easily drop with a loss or two
Yeah they're a weird case. Good RPI but no games played against the top 50.

I’m not insane. It wouldn’t affect anything 1 bit. Maybe change our seeding by 1. Let me put it this way. I have no idea what Vandy’s midweek record is but they would be #1 or #2 even if they lost all of their midweek games

Clearly OP isn’t using WN
Posted on 5/19/19 at 2:19 pm to Terrific Tales
Vandy won the SEC. That's an entirely different scenario.
Doing better during the midweek would improve LSU's position and it's really not debatable.
People are stuck in the if you go 20-10 your midweek games don't matter mindset. And that's true. LSU went 17-13 this season. Every game matters when you don't have a strong season.

Exactly, really dont understand the mindset of 39 wins being no better than 34, it's absolutely a big difference for us if it were that way, same conference record too. We'd absolutely be a lock to host if we had won every mid week game.
