LSU has aTm, Gators, Ole Miss, and Hawgs left of last 6 games. They can make it or break it in this stretch. They need to win at least two of these. All four would catapult them up the seedings.

I see us losing to UK and @ OM, but beating Carolina and Mizzou at home. We must win either at Bama or at AU. If we split and all the above happens, that would put us as 19-11 before the conference tourney I think with an RPI of 30ish.

Would you like an explanation as to what a "lock" is?

LSU is also 4-2 in top 50, 2-0 on the road top 50, and 8-4 against top 100, and has better top wins that any of the teams on the list. Arkansas is not a lock yet, although they are in good shape. I don't think any of the teams outside of KY are going very far in the tourney, but Arky is no better than LSU. LSU has, as you stated, had some very bad losses.....eliminate those couple of losses, and LSU is the clear #2 in the field, hands down. I'm not sure about the Georgia love you are giving...nor the Ole Miss.
