Arkansas has to play both Kentucky and A&M….the mighty Vols don’t have to play any of the other 3….exciting!We are officially 1 game back of the 1 seed in the SECT. Feels like whoever wins the SEC regular season will be the National 1 seed also. 4 teams are within 1 game of each other with 9 left to play. Going to be a crazy finish to the season.
A&M gets LSU and Ole Miss though. That can easily be 6 wins for them. I feel like they have the advantage out of the 4 teams fighting for the 1 seed. Even if we win our remaining series 2-1 apiece, we would still end up tied with them if they sweep those series and get swept by Arkansas. And we have to hope we win the tiebreaker. Personally, I think A&M will sweep those series and win that series at Arkansas 2-1 and take the conference by 1 game over us. Just the way the schedule shakes out unfortunately. We have winnable series but don’t see us sweeping any of our remaining opponents. They are all good teams.Just by the math….those 3 teams are guaranteed to take 6 more losses between one another…the Vols have no guaranteed losses!
6-3 and I’ll be very pleased with the ‘24 regular season!We still have some difficult games but it’s nice that we avoid the top 2 teams from the West. Feels like the first time the schedule has worked in our favor in years.
As long as we win all the remaining series I will take our chances. A&M has a fine ball club. I wouldn’t doubt our guys sweeping South Carolina in that final home series if they need to though! 20-10 or better is fine by me regardless of how it plays out elsewhere.A&M gets LSU and Ole Miss though.
