That's fair.

Now some of the pressure is off and they can get back to kicking some a**.

And the climb back into the top 8 is a pretty short one.

With our non-conference strength of schedule (which will be very weak) and the grind that is the SEC, getting into the top 8 and landing a national seed will be a tall order. Not saying we can't do it...just saying it is going to take some near flawless baseball from here on out to overcome we have put in our way thus far.

The reality check the team needs. They need to remember they will ultimately be judged on end of year results. People will quickly dis-remember the slump after success.

GOOD. Actually I think thats a little generous right now, but they will be back in the top 5 before too long.

Win 2 out of 3 each weekend in conference and we are easily a top 8 (assuming we beat the rest of the garbage teams on the schedule)

As Luke states, big hole to dig out to get to top 8 by season's end. Super tough to do, but team needs to just focus on next opponent and game.

A drop in ranking is legit, but now tu ahead of them. Think they'll play better chasing vs. being chased (different type of pressures).

One doesn't make a streak, but hopefully they can start a streak or two going foward (fingers crossed bats are starting to awaken across the lineup). The have 6 games to hone it in before Bama.

14 is fine

No it's not we need to be ranked 12 for #branding. C'mon. It's not that big of a gap. D1 could fudge the numbers enough to make it happen.

More proof that Kendall hates us!

Need to make a regional. The team has to work from where they end up.

I love a good comeback story!
