Easier said than done this week. Tough matchup.
Losing midweek games hurt but if the Ags go 2-2 for a week I rather win the SEC series than take the midweek contest. It would be nice to get a quality start against UTA so our inconsistent bats do not need to try to come from behind again this week.aginlakeway said:dixichkn said:

Looks like those poor tsip *******s went on quite the skid since we beat their ass.
They could have used a third paid coach. Somebody should tell their AD.AggieBB said:

After nearly 6 full series in the SEC (Vandy still has game left with Bama) here are some stats
5/14 teams have at least 30 wins in the season (TAMU just shy with 29)
No one has a sub .500 record including Kentucky overall
12 sweeps (28% of the series) have occurred with only 3 of those away from home with TAMU and Tenn winning at Kentucky and Georgia sweeping at South Carolina .Vandy could add to this today
Only one program has not won at least one series ...South Carolina but they were swept only once
Only two teams in the East have better than a .500 record in conference (Georgia and Vandy) while all but Bama have a winning record on the West

Good stuff Wicked Good Ag. Thanks!
The west is best.
Vandy beat bama to complete the sweep

I just don't see the committee giving the top 8 seeds to only 3 conferences. Not saying your list isn't the most deserving teams...but my gut tells me they'll sneak in UCSB (or similar) into the mix.

With the SEC West being so much deeper than the East, do you think it is safe to pencil in the two east teams over possibly only getting one West team? Sure, their records might be better but do their schedules stack up?

I agree. This list is just too....correct.

Plus, the SEC has 4 weeks left to cannibalize each other. Some ridiculous team like East Carolina or West Virginia will end up with a top 8 seed.

we've reached the point in the season where some teams have built up such a resume and RPI/SoS that other teams can't "catch" them anymore....barring a major, major collapse. 70% of the regular season is already in the books.
Vanderbilt is one example. With series wins over Arkansas, Tennessee, and Florida; And only series losses to A&M and UGA -- both on the road; and a 10-5 road/neutral record...Vandy is set.
plus the Commodores still have UK and Carolina to play. Similar story with Georgia

Happened last year with the SEC (4), PAC (2) and ACC (2), so it's been done before.
I can definitely see the SEC getting six host sites and 3-4 top 8's (my guess is 3).
As far as UCSB, their RPI is about to drop like a rock. I think it's mathematically impossible or close to it (can't locate them in Boyd Needs for some reason) for them to finish top 8 and if they lose a game or 2, they will finish outside the top 20. With their stadium situation, they are likely traveling.

Yep. And the only other conference to get any national seeds the past three tournament was the Big 12 with Tech and TCU.
They've not gone out of their way to get the small schools in. Really, they've been skipped over a lot. (See DBU, Stetson, etc.)
Ok - interesting. Clearly my memory is short. And I actually like it when non-traditional schools from non-traditional conferences get high seeds and host spots...so long as they've earned it.

You are correct. No possibility for a Top 8 finish and all but mathematically impossible for a Top 16 finish:TempleAg97 said:

Wow, currently at RPI 6 and they need a finish a predicted 18-1 or better to finish inside the RPI top 16
So the undoubtedly deepest division (SEC West) is only going to get 1 national seed and the east will get 2? Not doubting you, just pointing it out. Would UGA or Vandy be so highly ranked if they had to run the gauntlet of the west?W said:

Well you still have to play four series against the west while in the east. Georgia has shown to be the best so far in the SEC IMO regardless of East/West
That's how I see it: Vandy and UGA look to be locks. If you look at the West teams' RPI's, it seems like one team is likely to be a borderline national seed, and two others close, but just out of the money.waco_aggie05 said:So the undoubtedly deepest division (SEC West) is only going to get 1 national seed and the east will get 2?
