Are we on the bubble?

Lunardi has Tennessee as a 9 seed as of today.

RPI: 35
SOS: 2
Last 12: 6-6

Tennessee does have 7 losses to teams with an RPI above 51+, including 3 of those who were 101+

I thought UT was 3-7 in last 10. Was I incorrect or is your 6-6 over the last 12 off the mark?

This is an interesting conversation and all but I hope the message to the team is that they control their own destiny. There has been too many "locks" not get into the tourney every year. I don't want to see that left up to the committee and I hope the team passionately feels the same.

There are 4 play-in games. Two of the games match 16 seeds against each other, and the other two games match 12 seeds against each other. The winners of the 16-seed matchups will be slotted into a 1 v 16 matchup. The winners of the 12-seed matchups will be slotted into a 5 v. 12 matchup.

Thus the play-in games will have the following matchups (according to seed):

16 v. 16
16 v. 16
12 v. 12
12 v. 12

We're in the tournament. If we lose to Arkansas, we drop to the bubble, and still probably get in. You have to look at the field seperate from normal years. It's very weak, and compared to the rest of the "bubble teams" we probably still get in.

we're on the bubble if we lose to Arkansas just because they're so bad and you can't lose to them twice - but no - we don't need to beat Florida.

It's amazing Arkansas has been so "bad". They've beaten UT, Vandy in Nashville AND Kentucky. For a bad team, that is 3 pretty good wins. I hear a lot of Pelphrey bashing and it must be well deserved. He must be a basket case

Supposedly, the committee is not supposed to weigh the last 10 games any more than any other game during the season. But anyway, besides the win over Vandy, the rest of the 6 wins are weak (LSU, Ole Miss, Auburn, USC 2x). I think we get in, but we sure aren't doing ourselves any favors lately.

I am pretty sure that Wins count at the time when you get them, so if Villanova was good at the time we beat them they give you the benefit of the doubt for the most part.

Beat Arkansas, and we're in no questions asked.

i almost think to miss it we'd have to lose by like 30 to arkansas
