The Sarge

I assume you mean UCLA or Baylor, instead of Vandy. Or Kentucky.

That Georgia series is going to be huge imo, need to get 2 out of 3 there....a sweep would be great!

That report is just to finish with a top 8 RPI. That does not mean the top 8 RPI teams will be National Seeds.

"... the committee is highly unlikely to just take the top 8 in RPI for the national seeds, ..."

We need to finish 1st or second in the SEC to secure a National seed, and we may sneak in if we finish third, and have a very good RPI.

Also keep in mind Kentucky stills plays Florida

I think the winner of our series with Lsu gets a seed

The SEC has 4 teams currently in the race for a national seed. It is highly unlikely that the SEC gets 4 top 8 seeds. The SEC will likely get 3 national seeds.

Right now FSU is a lock as are UF and UK.

That leaves 5 spots left. I think they will give the Pac 12 one between Stanford and UCLA(to give the west coast a seed). BA seems to think it will be UCLA.

Baylor is close to a lock as well as they are now 18-0 in conference.

Now we are down to 3 spots between Texas AM, LSU, SC, UNC(BA loves the ACC), Purdue, Oregon, Rice, Cal St Fullerton, NC State, Arizona.

I just dont see the ACC and Pac-12 getting more than 1 national seed this year. Both conferences are down. FSU has dominated the ACC this year. UNC has a great RPI but they are only 13-8 in conference play. Arizona and Oregon are both doing well in Pac-12 play but with the bottom feeders beating up on each other, it looks like the Pac-12 might only get 6 teams in the postseason(the others are squarely on the bubble).

Rice is doing well in Conference USA but they dont even lead the conference yet. I dont think they can get a national seed if they dont win thier conference. If UCF wins the conference, they should host but I think they are too low in the RPI to be a national seed.

To me I think right now the national seeds are FSU, UF, UK, Baylor, Texas AM, UCLA(or another team from the Pac-12), LSU, and SC. That does not give a lot of national seeds out west but you shouldnt give national seeds away if they are not earned. I think Stanford, UCLA and Oregon will all host but only one should be a national seed. Purdue will host but they dont have a good enough resume to be a national seed.

I think they send two out west somehow. ucla and Stanford

I agree with acc only getting one with that being Fsu

Florida, USC and Lsu or Kentucky. I think the SEC gets 3

Baylor gets one and one smaller team like rice if they win out

The committee loves UNC (for some reason I do not understand) and they also love Georgia Tech (who screwed us out of National seeds on more than one occasion), Miami, and Virginia...

UNC has series left with Va Tech, Duke and BC, so they will likely finish very strong.

Ga Tech, Miami and Virginia all finish with each other, so they are unlikely to improve their conference standings.

UCLA has a very strong RPI but they are third in their conference, so they will be interesting to watch.

I agree that UK and Florida are locks, and that we are battling with LSU, and maybe Arkansas if they make a late run and sweep some folks, for that third SEC spot....

I don't agree that UK and Florida are locks. They are probably in good shape. But if you go look at Warren Nolan after todays games we are ahead of Kentucky in RPI. If they start losing in conference that OC schedule will kill them. And Florida will have to win to hold that seed. They are in 4th place in the SEC right now.

I think the SEC is in good shape to get 2 seeds. But there are 4 teams still with a chance to earn those 2 spots. If we win our series we will get one.

Florida has played some quality OC games. That will help them. They are in good shape as long as they win. But they could still miss out on a seed.

The next 3 weeks are huge. We have some challenges ahead. If we take care of them I believe we deserve a seed. If we don't win some games then we don't.
