I get that but why were they ahead of us in the top 16 is my point. At that time I don't think they even had the big win vs Purdue

Yeah I get it, I’m just saying based on what the committee has clearly defined as important to them would suggest we’re much closer to them than any other team ahead of us

Thad Matta met with Mississippi officials about the head coaching position per Jeff Goodman of ESPN.

He needs to stay retired IMO

Anyone else get the feeling Florida is holding on for dear life

No

Why do we want Michigan to win again?

There’s a debate on this...Michigan beating Michigan State could open the door for us to pass Michigan State who is currently ahead of us. However it could also leave MSU in front of us and open the door that Michigan passes US, so there’s pro and con to that one.

We may win the SEC without even having to beat UGA.

I don’t see any way we pass MSU.

Why does South Carolina have to suck so bad?

Nah, unfortunately Auburn has this

I'm thinking we need MSU to win but it's not looking likely

Down goes Clemson!

That’s not possible

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Boom down goes Clemson, 3-0.

And Michigan looking like they’re gonna beat State to start us off at 4-0!

If Auburn loses, we're co-champs at worse.

Auburn’s not losing this

Starks is a bonehead.

 

[GBO18]

I’m not understanding why South Carolina wants to speed up Auburn and press. They leaves their shooters open.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

If Auburn loses, we're co-champs at worse.

Right, I took OP to mean outright

aTm vs bubba screen went black here???

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Michigan with the win...playing with fire a bit but hopefully they lose tomorrow.

Well no. I’m not a derp

Bama loses to A&M...Tide might have some work to do in SECT.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Come on SC, help a brother out.

Can someone explain RPI to me? I'm not asking to be snarky.

I looked up Florida and Kentucky. Florida's RPI is 38. Kentucky is 15.

Florida has 14 top 100 wins, 8 top 50 wins. 8 of the top 100 wins came away from home. 5 of those top 50 wins came away from home.

Kentucky has 13 top 100 wins, 6 top 50 wins. 3 of the top 100 wins came away from home. 2 of the top 50 wins came away from home.

Based on the RPI, Kentucky's best win was @ home against #23 Texas A&M. Florida beat the same #23 A&M on the road. In addition, beat Auburn (#7), Cincinnati (#10) and Kentucky twice (#15).

Is it the bad losses? Do bad losses hurt that much?

I'm just trying to understand how this is calculated, because it doesn't make sense to me.

Calling a lot of cheap fouls on SC
