I get what you and some others are saying, that if we lose to all the cream puffs on our SEC schedule, it would really hurt our RPI. However, I just see it highly unlikely that we go 0-7 against the worst teams in our league,
and go 11-0 against the rest.

In other words, if we lose a couple to really bad SEC teams, I doubt we are good enough to beat a bunch of really good SEC teams to end up at 20-11 anyways.

Make sense?

As Paging said above, most likely scenario is we drop 1 to one of the powder puffs, we play 9 games against them. So that puts us at 8-1 with remaining games against @LSU, @UK, Ark, @UF, OM, @Bama, UF, @Mizz and Mizz, and needing to go at least 3-6. Protecting the home court, and taking care of teams we "should" beat, on the road will be key. We do that and we can withstand losses like @LSU, @UK, @UF, @Mizz, @Bama.

The original question was could we win 20 and not get in.
In this unlikely scenario it is possible.
Most likely it doesn't happen. Knock on wood.

We could go undefeated and finish the regular season at 27-4 and not get in, anythings possible.

I assumed the OP was asking for a little bit of probability and likeliness to be involved when answering his question though.

I was referring to past threads where you seemed to assume that any combination of 20 wins would produce an rpi in the 40s.

Very bad loss for Lsu yesterday.

Rpi fell all the way to 50. Rpi swings are very big this early in the season. Those swings will stop being so large as games mount up.



This is a game that we should win. Extremely important game and one where we should accept nothing less than winning

Lsu will be favored 4-6pts IMO.


Really good value bet on the vols. We are the better team. That doesn't always mean a bet will win in the road but I like us alot here

I like our chances, but to say we should win, and act as though a loss is completely unacceptable is a bit harsh IMO.

We are gonna lose some road games over the course of the SEC schedule, this is an acceptable one IMO.

It's a, not much to lose, but a lot to gain game IMO.
