This is false IMO. If aTm wins midweek, takes 2/3 from OM in an unimpressive series and then goes winless in the SEC tourney I don't think they would get a national seed.
They would need to win the OM series decisively, optimally sweeping it, to have a shot at locking up a national seed before the tourney. If they don't dominate the series, they will need to win a couple in the tourney I think.
It is more about final result, not about if its 10-0 or 10-9. The committee will see 46 wins, 20 wins in the SEC, a top 5 RPI, and a strong record vs the top 25 and 50.

If they go 3-1 this week but 0-2 in the tournament i highly doubt they would have a top 5 rpi. That's 3-3 overall and their rpi is 8 at the moment.

It absolutely matters. A bubble team that is struggling and lost 3 of its last 5 series (assuming aTm takes the OM series) may not get the nod over a team that has finished it's season on a tear. That's how these things work out sometimes.

If aTm goes 3-1 to end the regular season and then 0-2 in the tourney they won't have 46 wins or 20 conference wins. Also, they likely wouldn't have a top 5 RPI at that point.
