Sigh. Do you people read. We are a top 8 seed lock

We’ll see on Monday. They likely will get the seed, but you’re burying your head if you think a 12 RPI isn’t a concern.
It isn’t a concern.

No I’m not concerned about a team like UCLA that is 3-7 in Q1 games getting a top 8 seed over us.

We are a top 8 lock. Stop with this shite

We lead the nation in attendance every year. If we're close to a national seed we get it because of that alone

Don't see the 3rd place team in the SEC with 20 total conference wins not being a top 8 seed.

And you’re an absolute moron if you think it is when you look at what ACTUALLY happens throughout the season

Nothing is guaranteed, except death!

That's not how it works, and hasn't been how it works for like 20 years now.

One of about a dozen things. You really think one game today is going to override the other 56?

2024 - SEC Top 5 RPI were Top 5 in conference standings, so no conflict. #1 and #2 seeds finished 1-2 in conference. FSU finished 1 game behind NC St in ACC, but NC St had 8 non-conference losses to only 1 for FSU.
2023 - Florida, Arkansas, LSU, and Vandy were Top 4 in conference standings and were seeded in that order. Kentucky was 6th and didn’t get a Top 8 despite being #2 in RPI. Wake, Clemson, and Virginia were Top 3 in ACC in the standings and RPI. Stanford won the PAC-12 by 5 games, which overcame their #15 RPI.
2022 - Tennessee and A&M were Top 2 in SEC standings and A&M got a Top 8 seed despite being #22 in RPI. Stanford and Oregon State were Top 2 in PAC-12 standings and RPI. Virginia Tech and Miami were Top 2 in the ACC standings and got Top 8 seeds even though UNC had the best RPI and Wake and ND were ahead of Miami in the RPI.
2021- Arkansas, Tennessee, Vandy, and Miss St were Top 4 in the SEC standings and RPI. TCU, Texas, and Texas Tech were Top 3 in Big 12 in both. Arizona won the PAC-12.
As you can see, conference standings had more weight than RPI when there was a conflict. Minor conference teams also were not given Top 8 seeds. Based on that, even though LSU is #12 in the RPI, I don’t expect Georgia, Auburn or Ole Miss to be ahead of them based on conference standings. I don’t expect Oregon State or Coastal Carolina to be ahead of them based on conference affiliation. I would expect Clemson to be behind FSU due to conference standings and FSU is not high enough in the RPI. I’m not sure about UCLA/Oregon. That puts LSU at #5 or #6.

Excellent job compiling (or remembering), thank you.

Does it really matter??? We’ll have 6 hits I the regional and get bounced game 3.

They are a different offensive team at home. 22 runs in 3 games against Arkansas. 21 runs in 3 games against Tennessee. 19 in 3 against Alabama. 27 and 29 against Miss St and Missouri.

It’s a minimal part and admittedly flawed by the committee. It’s not a concern. 20 SEC wins, finishing top 3 in the SEC, and a unanimous #1 is 100% not going to miss out on a top 8 no matter if you think there is a “concern”.
There’s no concern.

Some posters want it to be a concern so bad.

Does a 7/8 seed make you think it was a discussion?
