If we got past that, it puts us in a rematch vs Houston and I don't like our chances twice. Just ain't our year.

We have 5 home games left, 3 of which we will be solid favorites in. We've won 20 of our last 21 home games. So, I anticipate winning at least 3 of those 5. That basically means we need to win 1 of the 4 road games (Miss, UK, Vandy, LSU) to get to 18-13, which would have us in the tournament.

So yea, I feel pretty good about it. I'm sure we'll beat UK at Rupp and LSU in BR and lose to Ole Miss and Vandy, but it'll all net out to 18-13 or 19-12.

17 wins and they are a lock with their schedule. The 2002/2003 Alabama team made the NCAA tournament with 17 wins and a hard schedule.

You will if you keep losing to teams like UGA and Mizzou.

Teams with high NET/RPI rankings and high loss totals have been left out before.

Georgia and Missouri don’t appear on the schedule the rest of the way.

This isn't really worth the comment, but....

The only way they don't make it is if they have a complete collapse down the stretch. They have five home games. Losing all or most of those would make things interesting. Losing a couple road games on top of it would put them near the bubble.

That said, I don't think they have that kind of collapse. I figure they will continue their up and down season with upsetting a favorite and losing one or two they shouldn't.

Their strength of schedule is too good and their wins are too strong to really threaten their position without a collapse.

The collective basketball IQ of Auburn fans is minuscule

You guys have a really great team, but please, learn a little about the game.

Ok then let’s make this thread if Bama loses the next 4 in a row because right now they are a 5 or 6 seed

I think the better conversation is the seed they will get.

Ie: what losses can really start to outweigh the big wins?

Stupid statement....no team with a high NET has been left out. The selection committee does not factor the RPI, which has become a useless tool and not even used or looked at for selection of teams.
