I mean Georgia is #9 in RPI at the moment. If they go 5-4 to finish SEC play I think they host


I would be surprised if a .500 conference team were to host.

Georgia's RPI is great, but finishing 15-15 in league play I dont think would do it. Especially with series left against Vandy, South Carolina, and Florida. Two of those series are at home.

My opinion is Georgia needs to get to 16-17 league wins to be in host consideration. ESPECIALLY when two of the final three series are against other SEC teams fighting for hosting spots.

Right now it seems like the league is a 6 host league. Top 4 is locked in to host sites/top 8 seeds IMO.

That would leave Vandy, South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi State fighting for two host spots.

I think if Alabama finishes 6-3 and gets to 15-15 in the SEC they have a chance, only because their conference slate was so difficult. They will have played a series vs every ranked SEC team other than Vanderbilt.

#1 Texas A&M (1-2)
#2 Arkansas (2-1)
#3 Tennessee (2-1)
@ #8 Kentucky (0-3)
#15 South Carolina (2-1)
@ #16 Mississippi St (TBD)
@ #19 Georgia (0-3)

Probably need to sweep Auburn to end the year, though.

I think 15-15 will get us there. Our RPI would be Top 12 and our SOS top 10. Some sneaky decent midweek wins as well

The other thing nobody seems to mention is the addition of KPI in the selection process. Committee members aren’t required to use it but it will be provided to them. UGA is #8 at the moment.
