Ole Miss should be higher than TAMU. We hold the tiebreaker as of right now based on H2H.

But does A&M make it with no RPI top 50 wins

I think the SEC gets 5 in. Kentucky, Arkansas, Ole Miss, and UGA are all pretty safe right now. The last spot goes to either LSU or A&M, and it'll probably which team can make a run in the SEC tournament
Posted on 2/22/15 at 9:55 am to Hawgeye
Ole Miss is the 3 seed and A&M is the 4 if the season ended today (H2H).

Instead of comparing A&M to other SEC teams, why don't we compare them to mid majors they would be fighting with for bids:
34. Dayton (20-6)
SOS - 120
Top 50 wins - Ole Miss, A&M (Puerto Rico)
Bad losses - at Duquesne (233)
They beat A&M without Danuel House or Jalen Jones by 2 points. The committee could make the case that, with Danuel House, A&M wins that game going away.
41. Boise State (20-7)
SOS - 107
Quality wins - San Diego State, Colorado State
Bad losses - Loyola-Chicago, Utah State, at Fresno State
45. Old Dominion (20-6)
SOS - 132
Quality wins - VCU
Bad losses - at WKU, at UAB, at MTSU, at UTSA
34. Dayton (20-6)
SOS - 120
Top 50 wins - Ole Miss, A&M (Puerto Rico)
Bad losses - at Duquesne (233)

Updated after games yesterday that moved some teams around.

It will be fun coming down the wire.
I guess it all depends on what's more important to the committee.
1. Is who you beat more important than who you lose to? A&M really gets hurt here. While they have no "bad" losses, they really have no good wins unless you consider sweeping LSU to be "good" wins. On the flip side Ole Miss and LSU have their share of bad losses, but they each have some good wins: Ole Miss (Cincinnati, @ Oregon, @ Ark, A&M), LSU (UMass, @ WVU, UGA, @ OM)
2. How important is RPI? Here (at the moment) A&M, OM and UGA are in good shape. LSU (at the moment) isn't.
3. Does margin of victory in your losses make a difference? A&M, OM, LSU and UGA all were within a possession or two of beating UK, so that's a wash. A&M hasn't lost to any bad teams, but a few of their losses have been ugly (10+ points)LSU has lost to some bad teams but they haven't lost a game by double-digits all year. OM has only lost one game by more than 10 points
4. Is how "hot" you are at the end important? Right now OM and A&M are fine. LSU is up and down with the possibility of finishing strong. UGA seems to be fading

I'm by no means an expert on RPI, but how on Earth is UGA still so high? They're 17-9, 8-6 in conference. They don't have any marquee non-conference wins. They're 2-3 against top 50, 6-5 against top 100, and have three recent losses (2x to South Carolina and one to Auburn) that are about as bad as LSU's three bad losses (Mizzou, Miss State, Auburn).
By contrast, LSU is 18-8, 8-6 in conference. They're 4-4 against Top 50 (including heads up against UGA), 9-5 against Top 100, and have a nice non-conference win over West Virginia. I absolutely understand why LSU is at 53 and hanging on for dear life and probably needs to win the next 3 before Arky. But why isn't UGA in a similar position? I see them as a safe 9-seed in bracketology right now, and it doesn't make sense. What am I missing here?

We just need to drop one more seed and I'll be fine 
Posted on 2/23/15 at 1:10 pm to Hawgeye
I think if A&M splits the final four games going and stays in the Top 40 RPI wise, we need to win at least 1 game in the SEC tourney to feel comfortable. If we go 3-1 w/ a loss to Ark, I think we are good to go even if we lose our first game in the SEC tournament. That would give us 22 wins, and I have a hard time seeing us get left out in that scenario. Just my 2 cents.

I was proven wrong when I thought Arkansas would fold down the stretch and I questioned if solidly in the field.
They are actually could be in line for a 4 seed. I am not sure though they will get that high, 5 most likely. I think their best bet is to get a 6 and stay on 2/3 side of bracket in NCAA tourney.
3/6 is usually very evenly matched and causes upsets.

LSU is up to 51 per ESPN. Kansas State jumped up to 90 after beating Kansas, meaning that A&M has no bad losses.
