Kentucky, Florida, & Vanderbilt are the Top 3 seeds.
The next 6 teams are currently within 1 game of claiming the 4th seed.
Miss State 6-5
Tennessee 6-5
Ole Miss 5-5
Arkansas 5-6
Alabama 5-6
LSU 5-6
Remaining Game Assumptions:
1. These 6 teams all lose against the Top 3 teams, Kentucky, Florida, or Vanderbilt, home or away.
2. These 6 teams all win against the Bottom 3 teams, Auburn, Georgia, or South Carolina, home or away.
3. The home team wins every game between these 6 teams, except LSU at Ole Miss.

Why of course, how'd you come to that assumption I wonder?

Yeah, considering they are 6 and 4 with games against UK and UF left of their 6 remaining they can be passed in this scenario

It would be much more beneficial if LSU could somehow win out and get the 5 or 6 seed. We likely need 2 wins in the SECT, and as the 4, we'd likely face the 5-seed then Kentucky.
As the 5, we'd play a bad USC team, then the 4, then Kentucky.
As the 6, it would be the 11 (UGA or AU), then UF/Vandy.

This guy gets it.
Unless this thread is figuring out the best way for LSU to actually win the whole thing, the best thing LSU could do is win as many games in the tournament as possible to have any NCAA hopes. It wouldn't do much for the RPI, but LSU would need every win possible to have any kind of shot and the best way to do that would be to play some bad team on the first day.

LSU getting the 4th Seed in the SEC Tourney
The 4th seed would be the worst seed to have, other than maybe an 8th. As a #4 we would play one game against the #5/#12 winner, then have to play Kentucky in the semis. A #6 seed would be ideal. We would play #11, then #3 and #2 before meeting UK in the final (assuming we got that far). That would give us a realistic chance at 2 or 3 SECT wins. Even a #5 seed would be better than #4, as we would at least get to play two games (#12 and #4) before losing to UK. I guess #8 would be the worst, since we'd only play #9 and then lose to Kentucky in the quarterfinal.

Your pick is unreal.....LSU will not win a road game. Only a few do in the SEC.......take away 3 wins....7-9
They will not beat Tenn.......6-10

LSU will not win a road game

Though having the 4th seed may mean only getting a possible 1 win, you still make the semi's and it gives you the 4th best record in the SE which the NCAA committee will look at much favorably than being 5th.
They will look from the top down and being at 4th will give us a better chance than being 5th or 6th. Our body of work isn't incredible, so we need to have the standings on our side. Its not just about winning 2 games in the SEC tournament.

What an absolute fail. The committee probably doesn't even have a sheet of conference standings to look at while they deliberate.

You are fricking retarded.

NCAA selection committee doesn't care about conference standing. It's not unusual for a team in a conference to receive an at-large invitation while another team that finished ahead of that team in the same conference doesn't get one. The committee regards all games the same (with some exceptions relating to when the game was played, where, etc.), regardless of whether they are conference games or not.

Have you even watched any of these other teams play? USC and Auburn aren't very good and Tenn hasn't played well on the road minus the Florida game. It's a long shot but to say it's unreal, don't know if i agree.

I certainly dont want to point fingers or fight, but if you honestly dont think they try and get a certain number of teams from a specific conference or look at who has the best record in conference I think you may be mistaken.
Its not an exact science, but the people involved obviously look at a lot of factors. I for one believe that they do look at where you finish in your conference. It is not a final word type of thing, but obviously it's a help.
