With a difference of almost 60 between us and Vandy, we could get another 15+ jump Saturday. Yes . Even for a home game.

Potentially, too many statistics and unknowns at this point in the week. Other games being played between now and then will effect our RPI for better or worse. I would imagine no less than a 10 point jump for beating Vandy.

I still just don't see this. 10 points at max. RPIforcast will update tonight and with only one game left it should be a pretty good indication of how high they can go.

The problem is the NCAA tourney is not the 68 best teams. It's 37 auto qualifiers and then the next best 31.

Which gets back to my question, where do you think we need to end up to make the tournament?

I'm thinking top 50

UT clinched at least 5th. UT can finish no worse than 9-7. Everyone below them can at best finish 8-8. So no worries about tie breakers except for the teams above them. Lose Saturday and they're 5th, if they win, they can finish anywhere from 2nd to 5th.

That's what I was thinking.

Finishing no worse than 5th and getting at least 9, maybe 10, SEC wins is nothing short of miraculous.

Zans-If we win Saturday and Florida loses to Kentucky then we jump to the 2nd seed?

Don't know exactly where we need to be, but if I had to guess, we must win Saturday, and then win 2 games in the tournament to get in.

Not to mention Charleston and Oakland. Need both of them to win some more. Peay is done after losing in their tourney tonight. They finished 12-20. That is the hugest turd floating in the punch bowl right now.

Bama has their weird, scary looking cartoon face guy, and lsu apparently has some obese opera singer to distract free throw shooters.. TBA needs an advantage like that..

That does put a damper on things then. Damn mid-majors. Just kidding. Although, I would like to see the NCAA give UT the lowest seed to battle a #1 seed. I can dream though...

It would be funny to seem somebody come up with something.
