Aside from the asinine inclusion of the sips in this stat, Kentucky finishing 13-17 means they only won 3 SEC series this year…and they're supposedly on the bubble?? Idc how tough the SEC is, you don't deserve to get into the tournament if you only win 3 conference series out of 10.

THIS

Nothing can be done about it but when you only play 2/3 of the teams it is possible to have some conference records that are misleading
I am not sure if Kentucky falls into that category but some teams having a more / less favorable schedule is a problem when trying to evaluate based on conference records alone

2024 Florida would like a word.
2022 Ole Miss was only 14-16 in SEC play.

Who you play matters. Kentucky losing last night probably sealed their fate but they swept likely top 8 Alabama and have an RPI of 34. There are definitely teams that will be in regionals who Kentucky would beat.

Kentucky had about as good a schedule as possible having played Mizzou, USCe and LSU. They lost all three, by the way. Their biggest selling point is a sweep of Bama and winning 2/3 against Tennessee. And they got lucky in non conference The Citadel being decent and Kentucky swept them.

Based on opponents' conference records without taking home-road into account UK indeed had the easiest conference schedule, with a .453 opponents' winning percentage. Vandy was a close second at .455, followed by sips and Georgia, at .470 & .481, respectively.

Auburn easily had the toughest schedule (.545) and pitiful Missouri next in line at .527. State was 3rd (.517), LSU & USC tied for 4th toughest schedule (.513).

Multiplying wins by opponents winning percentage, tu would drop to 6th best winning % and Auburn would leapfrog bama, Florida, and us to second.

It was stated during the Kentucky game. It was pumping Kentucky as "should be in the regionals" but they just can't help but throw bull**** out trying to make sip into something they are not

That's complete BS. Teams that played a weak axx schedule should not be rewarded. UK is a top 64 team.

Okay, let's address this for a second...

The goal of a 64 team playoff is NOT to get the top 64 teams in the playoff. It never has been. It's to (a) provide every conference an opportunity; and (b) to backfill with the best 35 additional teams. So the question is NOT, are they one of the best 64? It's, are they one of the best 30-35? ...and they are not. That said, I still think they'll be one of the last 4 in because they have learned how to pervert the RPI metric. My hope is they are left out.
