I wasn’t the one who posted the comment about 19 being a lock, but I do think it may be pretty close to a lock.

A 9 or 10 seed vs the schedule we re playing and the league being strong has us in good shape so far. We re playing well of late so I don't give a shite about some predictive analytics

I think he was saying getting in with 19 wins with this schedule is a lock. Not that winning 19 is a lock.

Oh, ya I'd think 19W would be a highly likely NCAAT bid as long as there is weird auto bid outcomes or more UGA type blowouts

Our SOS is gonna end up top 10 and every night is a chance for a good win...Don't think there's anybody left on our schedule that's a drag on our RPI or SOS

I'm not even thinking about the tourney. One game at a time.

Agreed - it is nice to check the resume and see it rounding into form, but I'm certainly not taking anything this team does and extrapolating it out over the next 5 games. We all know that we know nothing in terms of what we'll get going forward. Just hope it keeps being at a decent level and we can keep winning games.

I'll be honest, I have ZERO expectation of winning in Oxford Tuesday. If we do, I'll be ecstatic.

I'd put Oklahoma above Florida, but other than that I can't disagree with anything else. Crazy that games against LSU and Arkansas are our easiest games left. SEC is so loaded this year.

Yeah it's hard for me to see us winning all six of what I call our easiest games. At the same time I doubt we go 0-6 against the six hardest. We could win or lose any game on that list. Winning @Kentucky wouldn't even shock me.

Yea - while I don't expect it, winning in Oxford would be really, really big.

Really need to win 2 of the next 3, would be huge if we could sweep all 3. Not expecting that, probably lose all 3.

We have 5 SEC home games remaining. If we can win 4, that puts us at 9 SEC wins. So we need to pick up a road win somewhere.. no better time and place than tomorrow. But I have no expectations of winning that game. Will be a huge bonus if we do.

Tall task to sweep with Missouri, Florida, Oklahoma and Tennessee remaining.

George or anyone else I'm curious what our RPI/SOS would be if we had played a DII team instead of Alabama A&M. If it's hard to figure that out just don't worry about it.

Arkansas is winless on the road (including OOC) and got blown the frick out at home by LSU. If we're healthy, they should not beat us in Coleman.
