We easily are a bubble team after last night. Won't shock me if we don't get in.

You're still #30 in .NET. Some systems still consider you tournament worthy.

Don't know how much that impacts the committee though.

Missouri should be eliminated for losing to LSU.

UGA needs to win 3 of their last 5 to get in. We won’t beat Bama or Vandy.

If we lose to Texas we’d have to win at least 2 in Nashville to be considered IMO.

21 wins is our magic number, imo. I think 3 more from wherever they come from will do the trick. Just speculation not based on anything real

The answer to this question is always: it depends on what happens to all of the other teams competing in the bubble.

Missouri’s NET is 66. Everyone else is 30s and low 40s. Their OOC is embarrassing, and the only real team they played beat them by 40+.

Since LSU is not a bubble team that must mean they are in.

I predict that I don't care one way or the other. Kentucky makes it ... or don't.

Because either way, Mitch Barnhart will be back, which means Mark Pope is back.

And both are losing propositions. Congrats to them both. I simply don't care.

Bad night for Auburn. Still think they get in with that schedule they’ve played.

Auburn has lost 5 in a row and added another Q2 loss to the resume tonight.

They have a strong strength of schedule. Based mainly on losses. Current Q1 and Q2 record.

Q1: 4-10
Q2: 2-2

They only have 6 combined Q1 and Q2 wins. That is the fewest of any of the bubble teams. Total Q1 + Q2 wins.

Kentucky: 8
Auburn: 6
Texas A&M: 7
Texas: 7
Georgia: 9
Missouri: 7
