Good work. I'm following your updates with interest. I like Auburn's chances. I think Missouri was to win a couple more to have a shot.

I don't think Mizzou or Kentucky will be punished as much for their RPI because of regional considerations. Midweek games for them offer weaker options. Both traveled south early to escape weather and play in tournaments, too.
UK beat elite teams on the road in series (LSU, UF) AND beat Mizzou head to head on the road. If Bama wins this morning, Mizzou should be toast and UK should be in.
LSU
UF
A&M
Vandy
OM
Arkansas
Auburn
Kentucky

You realize they played the Line Beards midweek and they have the toughest 14 day schedule in the country (I think all 3 teams were in the Top 5 at the time played)
04/24/15 @ Florida W, 3-0
04/25/15 @ Florida W, 7-6
04/26/15 @ Florida L, 10-1
04/28/15 @ Louisville L, 2-1 (10)
05/01/15 vs Vanderbilt L, 13-3
05/02/15 vs Vanderbilt W, 11-5
05/03/15 vs Vanderbilt L, 7-3
05/06/15 vs Louisville L, 5-2
If not for Auburn game I think UK would be in but now I am thinking just the opposite will happen.

I realize that outside of three decent RPI games, they played a lot of weakling midweek games. Sum of the parts. And the fact that they lost to Louisville twice during that brutal stretch in meaningless games midweek shouldn't hurt them much.
