How bad is not having a #4 starter going to hurt us come tourney time?

I know a lot of times teams will turn around and throw their #1 again in game 4. With Woody and Mitchell not having it, I'm not sure who we'd start in a game 4 situation.
I'm not sure if that is more concerning than or lack of dependable bullpen depth. We've basically been playing with 5 pitchers for the last several games.

My problem is how we've used the bullpen that has killed the depth IMO -- Pitchers that have been pretty good for the most part this year have just been continually put in positions to fail. Positions that should have been Bracewell or Holder all along(even if they can't/don't finish the game). Just can't go with Gentry or Girodo with the bases loaded and less than 2 outs, especially Gentry.
Although we lack an excellent option for 4th starter, so does all the teams we will be facing IMO, especially in a regional that we host. Ideally, we don't have to find out -- since it would only come into play if we lost a game in regionals. Supers are obviously a non-issue and Omaha is really a non-issue with how much they spread out all the games now.
I'm still hopeful that we pull a 4th starter out of our hat in the Oral Roberts game. Maybe give Will Cox another opportunity? I hate how we front loaded the schedule because we're left with all these questions and no games against crappy teams to get the answers..

We are undefeated in midweek games as bad as our 4th guys have been we still have guys like Ross Mitchell, Ben Bracewell, Myles Gentry, Chad Girado, and now Trevor Fitts who have been good out of the pen.
I wouldn't quite give up on Woody yet.

If the coaches don't trust them enough to trot them out there for a SEC, I don't think they will all of a sudden show trust come tourney time.
