Arkansas has no walk in the park left. Going to be an interesting 15 game stretch

No, not at all. Should be interesting.

The final weekend has great matchups.

Yea. Will be especially interesting if 2-3 teams are within a game or game and a half of each other.

Auburn's could certainly be worse.
I'd put our starting pitching up against anyone's in the league now that Thompson is back and Daniel seems to be coming into his own. Bullpen has lost us some games, though

Think auburn will finish with 16-17 wins which is pretty good considering our roster. Still don't think we match up real well with any of these teams on the back half of the schedule.

Will come down to LSU or A&M

Glad to see U.K. And Auburn doing well.

Who would have thought that Arkansas vs Auburn would be a key series as we start the home stretch of SEC play?

Not sure I see any real difference in the strength of schedule over those five weekends, which tells you that it's really up for grabs this year.
I like LSU's chances at home against Kentucky, but if UK somehow walks out of Baton Rouge with a series win, I think they have a pretty good chance of winning the title.
While it would be nice to win the league, I'd be happy just to finish in the top four, securing a bye at Hoover, and hopefully putting us in position to host a regional. In order to win the title, A&M has to win 5 out of the next 6, which will be difficult.

I wish, but highly doubt it.

the series is @ Kentucky

In all honesty, State looks like they've got the best shot to win the regular season title. They still have series left against Georgia and Bama. They get LSU the final weekend in Starkville.

So it is. Way too early in the morning for me to be doing any critical thinking.

Arkansas has five series left that they could go 2-1 or 1-2 at. I don't see any sweeps either way. Let's say they go 7-5 (2-1 vs. Ole Miss, Tennessee and Vandy, 1-2 vs. Auburn) in their next 12, that puts them at 18-9 headed into the last weekend.
State is effectively 2 games back of Arkansas with the sweep, and holds the tiebreak over Kentucky. They should go 5-1 against Bama and Georgia, and have a great shot at 2-1 against Auburn. I think they lose the series at A&M, which puts them 18-9 headed into the last weekend.
Auburn is much improved and will make a regional, but I don't think they can keep pace.
Kentucky is interesting. If they can go 3-3 the next two weekends against LSU and USC, they have a great chance at 5-1 or better against Georgia and Tennessee. That puts them at 18-9 headed into the last weekend.
So that puts us going into the final weekend with Arkansas, Kentucky and State all tied. ARK and UK didn't play. MSU beat UK 2-1 and ARK swept MSU 3-0. A tiebreaker would not go to head to head, it would go to common opponents starting at No. 4 and going through the rest of the conference.
Common opponents are:
Texas A&M (Kentucky swept, ARK, MSU TBD)
Ole Miss (MSU swept, UK, ARK TBD)
LSU (Arkansas 1-2, MSU, UK TBD)
With two sweeps already recorded, its unlikely that there would still be a tie, but if there was, it goes to coin flip.
I think 21 wins will win the SEC outright and 20 will go to a tiebreaker. The last weekend will not be ripe for a sweep for any of the contenders, so the key to getting 21 relies on:
Arkansas getting two of three at Auburn instead of 1
MSU sweeping both Georgia and Alabama or picking up 2 of 3 against A&M
Kentucky winning both series against South Carolina and LSU instead of just one.
State is effectively 2 games back of Arkansas with the sweep, and holds the tiebreak over Kentucky. They should go 5-1 against Bama and Georgia, and have a great shot at 2-1 against Auburn. I think they lose the series at A&M, which puts them 18-9 headed into the last weekend.

Alabama is here for all your series sweep needs.

State will win 18-20 SEC games. LSU and A&M better get on a roll.
