And even with out a single nice win all year, if we finish out 22-8 and 13-5 in the SEC, our RPI and kenpom rankings will be in the high 30s/low 40s and I feel decent about our chances getting in. I can see us being left out, but i think were more likely to be in with that scenario than out. Especially if we can make a run in the SEC tourney

What is LSU's RPI right now?
We were in the 30's before those two terrible losses to Miss. St. and Auburn.
Win those two and Missouri - all games LSU should have won - and this is a 21-4 team. So frustrating.
I guess you are what your record says you are though, so it is what it is.

aTm isn't going to get in without a good win and an 86 SOS.
Jerry Palm has aTm out in his latest bracket and I agree.
aTm has one shot at a top 25 RPI win, but I don't see the Aggies rolling into Bud Walton and beating Arkansas.

LSU has an RPI of 50+
Why I told West Coast, even beating LSU at home isn't a top 50 RPI win

What is the RPI? Do you know?

Bracket matrix has us in as an 11 seed as is. I can see us getting left out if, like you said a mid major upset in a conference tourney championship happens, but I think we are more likely in than out if we can finish strong

Just look at 2010 ALABAMA
12-4 in league play
8-8 vs. RPI top 100
NIT

51 according to ESPN
53 according to Warren Nolan

Thanks. That is what I was wondering - if it was 51 or 59 makes a big difference.

LSU can't lose to Auburn again. That would make 4 losses to teams with an RPI of 137 or higher.

Wasn't that the year the big east had something like 11 teams make it? I don't think this field is going to be as difficult to make it in

I don't remember. The SEC, right now, as much as we want to think we are better, is still the 6th best league using RPI.
This leads me to believe we only get 4 maybe 5 teams in.

Yes.
The four in right now are:
Kentucky
Arkansas
Ole Miss
UGA
In that order.
aTm last four out.
LSU next four out.

The Atlantic 10 was 6th in conference RPI last year and they got 6 in. It's not crazy to think we can get six in

What about the NIT or CBI?

That RPI factors in and "corrects" manipulation of the other RPI polls.

They also had their top 6 teams with an RPI of 36 or higher. All had 23+ wins and 10 or more wins in league play. Their top 6 all had at least 4 wins against RPI top 50 teams. All but one had at least 5.

well whatever they were, every conference above them in the unofficial got at least 6 in so your point is fairly meaningless
I think projections of the SEC only getting 4 are fairly retarded. Our overall RPI right now would have placed us 3rd last year so even comparing to the A10 isn't accurate. There is a rather clear demarcation between 6 and 7th conference this year, far more than in year's past,
The A10 is 7th this year. Their league RPI would have been 10th last year, far below even the SEC. It's pretty likely that this is going to come out in bids. My guess is all the top 6 will get at least 5 and most 6 and conference like the A10 will be 3 bid leagues at best. I could see them only getting 2 actually depending on how UMass closes. Their schedule doesn't do them any favors
