With the assumption that we don't win the west, what is the general consensus on how high our RPI can be and still host, 1) Host a Super, 2) Host a Regional?

---

If we don't win the West, then I think we'd have to be 12 or better to be in consideration for a top 8 seed. If we get 18 wins, we're hosting a regional, and I think our RPI would be the teens going into the SEC tournament. Might get one with 17, but it would be dicey, as I think our RPI would be in the 20s (tournament could possibly bump it a little). You never want to count on tournament play to make a difference because it often doesn't, but, occasionally, the committee will use tournament results to justify their seeding.

---

I don't think so at all. I seriously doubt if we get 18 SEC wins that our RPI will be in the teens. More likely 25-30. Although as others have pointed out, it matters which of our 6 games we win. Therefore I don't think it's a lock that we will host if we get to 18 wins, and it's actually more likely that we will be a 2 seed.

---

18 wins is a top 20 RPI and a lock to host, book it.

---

You are dreaming. You think if we go 1-2 vs State and 3-0 vs Ole Miss we are in the top 20?? We won't be top 20 if we go 2-1 vs each team.

---

We might be right at 20, but we will be top 20 and hosting if we are 18-12 in the SEC. Watch.

---

We are at # 22 now. Dropped 3 spots tonight after Georgia loss. It's a formula, not a coaches or sportswriter's vote. You can't add 2 + 2 to = 5.

Edit: Correct on Hoover, as it can only help our RPI.

---

We'll see, I know Kendall Rogers has said 18 wins gets us a host spot easily

---

This is what he said, focus on the very last part....."if the RPI is in the 20-25 range"

"Having your RPI drop down to 24 because of one loss isn't optimal, but the Aggies are sitting at 14 SEC wins with two weekends to go. If A&M wins both of those series and is sitting at 18 league wins entering the SEC tournament, I find it very hard to believe they wouldn't be a Top 16 host, at minimum, even if the RPI is in the 20-25 range."

---

What's your point? He said we will be hosting even if the RPI drops. I personally think it won't if we win our last two series plus Hoover coming up after that, but at the end of the day I don't care what the RPI is as long as we are hosting.

---

You are putting words in his mouth. I don't care what the RPI is either as long as we host, but the guys that select who is hosting do care. The committee will have a hard time selecting a team to host that has an RPI at 25 or above. I do not think it has ever happened.

Nolan has his website updated with his prediction that if we go 18-12 by virtue of sweeping Miss. St. and taking 1 of 3 against Ole Miss that our RPI rank would be #27 to end the regular season. Winning both series 2-1 would give us a lower ranking. I don't think 27 would be high enough to host, so we would most likely need to win a game or two in Hoover.

---

Any predictions for end of season rpi should be pretty much ignored. They will be based upon one very specific circumstance which will have a very low chance of happening. Plus, this evening predictions would not include conference tourney games.

It does have a low chance of happening, however if we finish 18-12 this is the best scenario for our RPI. Any other scenario where we end up 18-12, including 2-1 in both series will leave us with a higher RPI. Anything above 18-12 and we are hosting a super. Correct that it doesn't include Hoover, and it may very well include playing IW.

---

RPI can't be predicted, there are literally 1,000's of factors that will play out this weekend and next (not to mention conference tournament weekend after that). We are in a very good spot right now, relax and enjoy the show.

It can't be predicted???? It sounds like it upsets you when someone makes a prediction that you don't like. If we were "in a very good spot right now", we would not have cancelled the IW game. As Scholss said, "it's all about RPI".

So Georgia loses again to Tennessee and improves their RPI by two spots.

Something is wrong when you are rewarded for losing. And penalized for winning.

The good news is that Georgia most likely can't host with that losing conference record and we beat Vandy head to head so gotta think we have an edge their too unless they sweep Arky (but then we have a clear edge over the pigs)

I disagree, I think we are in contention with Georgia for one of the SEC's national seeds (probably of 3).

Vols are a lock, Arkansas is a probably, and then it's us, Georgia, Auburn and LSU competing for the last spot.

I prefer having a better SEC record than the Dawgs on top of our series win over them. I don't expect Mizzou to help with that.

Ole miss beats LSU and our SOS drops from 11 to 17 and we drop a spot to 22

That will all wash out after we play Ole Miss next weekend.

---

LOL exactly, people on here are so reactionary to everything all the time...we will be exactly where we are supposed to be when all the cards are dealt after the conference tournament. Tracking RPI daily is like watching your 401k daily, total waste of time.
