The good news is we completely control our own destiny. Everyone is looking up at us by 2 games, so let's just not stumble to the finish line

Thank god this isn't Aggy football then. Sumlin knows a thing or two about winning right out of the gate and then imploding the rest of the season.

A twitter feed claiming to be Dick Vitale's has us #3...but doesn't list Duke #1 so I question its authenticity.

We skipped the dreaded #6 ranking.

Hopefully 5 isn't the new 6.

Billy Kennedy now has a higher ranked team than BCG or Turgeon ever did at A&M.

FIFY.

Although I will say that if Texas Tech doesn't drive down the court and hit that buzzer beater in less than 2 seconds in 2007, we probably win in overtime and Gillispie has a top 5 team the following week.

Results of my predictions thus far:

0 - Battle 4 Atlantis, had us losing to Texas OR Gonzaga/Washington, beat both but still ended up with 1 loss in the tournament

-1 - 12/5 - @ Arizona State L, had a win here

+1 - 12/19 - vs Baylor W, had a loss here

+1 - 1/12 - vs Florida W and 1/16 - @ Georgia W, had us losing to one of the two

+0.5 - 1/19 - vs LSU W, have us losing once to LSU so we'll count this as a half win


Total - +1.5 wins ahead of schedule

My original prediction still has us losing to Iowa St, Vandy, Kentucky, LSU, and one other unnamed team. That would be a 7-5 finish, which doesn't seem like it will be the case at this point.

So based upon our collective predictions, the difference between your picks and mine is 4 games.

Well, yours had a lot of tossups, but your most likely scenario was:

Most likely record: 17-16. Another CBI appearance


Mine was:

25-8 (13-5) – NCAA Tournament, 7 Seed



Can't complain when the team is exceeding everyone's expectations

definitely. Plus we absolutely smoked them at Reed. It would be very easy to not get up for this game but Arky plays a lot better at home. I'm actually kinda worried about this one

Kennedy can shake off a few critics going 2-0

We better be ready with our best effort on Saturday, Iowa State is GOOD. They'll run our arse out of the building if we play like we did against Mizzu.

Arkansas is tough to predict. I wouldn't be surprised to win by 20 or lose by 10, they randomly play really good basketball surrounded by abysmal showings.

Texas A&M's Billy Kennedy told @CBSSports that he's planning on Tyler Davis (foot) playing Wednesday at Arkansas. Davis DNP on Saturday

Would be huge. Kingsley will give us problems if Davis is out

I say we split these next two games one way or the other.

So is Davis a smokescreen? Is he 100%? Will he just play off the bench for a few minutes?


Do we beat Arky??????

I agree. Not sure which I would rather win/lose. I think we can win the SEC fairly comfortably even with a loss to Arky. I'm not sure which combo would be better RPI wise (I'm guessing losing to Iowa State). The game Saturday should be awesome though
