Without the formal Needs Report, what do we think is needed the balance of the year?
Mid-week:
@UH - I don't think we lose, but call it 2-1 to finish out of conference
UTA
Sam
Series (no way to project an SEC sweep - just too hard this season):
@USC - 2-1
@Ole Miss - 1-2
MSU - 2-1
@Bama - 2-1
Arkie - 2-1
So 11-7 against all good to great teams. I'd love to sweep Bama and maybe get a road win against Ole Miss, but really, this would be plenty to host.
That's a record of 38-21-1 (18-11-1 SEC) and likely top 15 RPI which will host at least a regional. Find one or two more games to make it 40-19-1 (20-9-1) and I think we host a super. With that said, Georgia was the 8 seed last year with only 37 wins, but I think I remember they had a top 5 or 6 RPI.
Regardless, there are two key messages: one, we do not have a crushing end to the season despite the number of road games, but two, it's still plenty tough and we will lose games. It's OK. So will everyone else.
