The other problem is we played a "weak" SEC schedule. Arkansas, LSU and A&M are hurting in their RPI rankings because UT wasn't on the schedule.

It does not properly value head-to-head, and it doesn't value winning your conference or division.
So…the explainer trots out an explanation why they did whatever they wanted to do to explain what can't be proven? Sounds like plausible deniability to me…TXAggie2011 said:TAM85 said:

The committee regularly rewards teams for winning their conference and division. That's not factored in the RPI but it's factored by the committee
Man, and I actually like you a lot, even though I agree with Bobinator that 80% you're a bot.greg.w.h said:So…the explainer trots out an explanation why they did whatever they wanted to do to explain what can't be proven?

We got screwed tonight on teams that we needed to win....who didn't win. Tennessee just continues to screw us by helping every team they played. When they beat State tonight we got penalized. One of the main reasons for our weak RPI is not having played them.dabo man said:
It was #21 during the 9th inning of our game tonight.
I'm guessing that people around us had already won because it was #19 earlier in the week when I'd looked.

Conference tourney's count. Good for us.
My point is when you are sitting at #16 in the RPI rankings, you will take every bump you can get in order to host. We need another win against Ole Miss to take it out of the committee's hands.Luke The Drifter said:threeanout said:

Up to 15 and Virginia dropped to 20.pdg88 said:
RPI #15 Virginia currently trails RPI #12 Louisville 4-1 in the bottom of the 7th. I would expect us to pass Virginia and move up to #15 if that score holds.
We passed Oklahoma State tonight who got walked off by Baylor 13-11 after leading 11-3 heading to the bottom of the 7th.
I hope we get matched up with at least a couple teams that have already played UT in the tourney as well, even if one of the current bottom dwellers. The separation from RPI 10-18 is pretty danged small and I agree any and all points are goodness at this point.threeanout said:My point is when you are sitting at #16 in the RPI rankings, you will take every bump you can get in order to host.

The ideal scenario up to next Thursday would be earning a 2 or 3 seed in the SECT, getting a win, and then facing UT.
The worst case at that point would be to bow out at 1-2, but just playing UT on a neutral field will be a nice boost.
The basketball selection committee demonstrated why that is unreliable…Farmer1906 said:

50% of the scores is from other teams, not our record at all.Texagtrojan said:

If we win today and win the west, we are 100% a host regardless of our RPI. 95% a host even if we lose.AvidAggie said:
No way we are a National seed with a 20+ RPI. Much less a host.
And honestly I don't care. I feel like we are better as an underdog

If we make it to the SEC Tournament Championship game, then it probably does not matter if we face the Vols in it or not.gougler08 said:Mikeyshooter said:
