Sweep of Ole Miss won't be enough

If we happen to get a sweep, I still don't think it will be enough to be a lock for a regional. Historically, 13 SEC wins are at 30% odds at making a regional, 14 wins are 70%. Not a math guy, but I don't feel like 30% is good odds to gamble with. Going to have to win 1 in Hoover as well. What y'all think?
20

If we sweep ole miss we are in. If we don't we ain't. Pretty simple

This season with these SEC teams I think it will. Look at some of the bubble teams around us. Their metrics are way below ours.

It’s 38% of 13 win teams, not 30% and it would’ve been enough had we won the Bama series and OM series since we would’ve won 5 straight series, but now having lost the Bama series I could see it not being enough to finish 13-17.
We’d need some help (UF lose series to UGA and finish 12-18 & Vandy get swept by UK and finish 12-18), otherwise we’ll have to win some games in Hoover.

The bubble is very weak. The conference record is the only negative. 13-17 with an RPI in the 20's with not a lot of strong cases for the final handful of spots will be good enough.

I think sweeping Ol Piss may be enough.
38% is the odds for all teams. You need to see what the odds are for an SEC defending national champion or even just a tier one program.
There are plenty of at large births, LSU has a history that will count in the committees eyes.

They have shown time and time again that winning one or two games in the conference tournament don’t matter (same as losing the first game).
The only thing that keeps us out at 13 wins is if the small conferences have a bunch of teams win their tournament that shouldn’t have. Basically it gives the auto bid to teams that shouldn’t be there and can take away spots for bubble teams

Will getting swept be enough to stop you armchair analysts?

The SEC has 12 teams in the top 35 in RPI. There are teams that are going to host with RPIs lower than 30.
I mean, the coaches poll is still ranking LSU #38 in the nation
The SEC is as strong of a conference as it has ever been. The top 4 teams in the nation are SEC schools. If LSU gets 13, they are in. If they get 12, they have to get to the final in Hoover, and if they get 11, we don't have to have anymore conversations.
That 13 win/30% number doesn't play this year. The SEC has 8-9 teams that would finish first in other major conferences. You can see that by looking at the RPI and ELOs.
No way the committee won't (and frankly shouldn't) see this year as an outlier. IF LSU sweeps, they are undoubtedly in. This year, 13 wins is the equivalent of 14 most years.

We would likely have and RPI high enough to make the tournament with 13 wins. Many of those 13 win teams that didn't make it had a 50+ RPI. Ours would likely be in the 20's

Imagine the draw for the 2-3 game if lsu is in any regional. I know ticket books are sold but I bet national tv ( espn, espn2 etc ) would show their games which means more viewers in a regional that may not get that much attention. While record, RPI, SOS plays a big part, don’t thing for a second if we get to 13 wins or 2 out of 3 and play on Saturday or Sunday in the SEC tournament the committee will give us a bid somewhere.

Nobody really knows. We can all look at precedent, etc. But, the committee has never been completely predictable.

A sweep of Ole Miss will be enough but I a not holding my breath.

JJ to the team pregame today after reading this

lol. Pipe dream. We aren’t getting a sweep. Our best bet is to win 2 then win 2 more in Hoover.

You have to look at teams like Florida if they have a losing record they can't get into the NCAA
They are 1 game above .500 going into this weekend and sec tournament.
If you sweep OM you will get in above them.
It will be tight.
The issue will be the auto conference bids.
Like last season Tulane had no chance of getting in but won the conference. Situations like that are going to be the issue
