Hogs, Cats, Tide against RPI top 50

[SpasticColon]

both playing good ball when it counts.  RTR and SP

[lumphog]

We`re a LOCK......Baby!!!

[hogfan@heart]

Still think we need to get the MState win on Wed....Im confident we will, but we look a lot better with 20 wins

I agree. BTW did anyone notice that FL is 5-6 in their last 11. they picked a bad time to stink!

[wincrimson]

True. We're both locks for the dance.

[HogCards88]

Is Florida a bubble team now?

[Tideboy]

Has there ever been a school that complained about the officiating as much as Tide fans this season?  I'm sure there has, but I'm just sitting here blown away at the amount of wine these bama fans are producing.   Maybe it's the red coat that Godfrey's sporting.  Who knows? 

Bummer fan's wine about EVERYTHING!!!  and losing is NEVER their FAULT it's the refs or the weather or they had the FLU.  Bummer fans can go frick themselves

I think you mean "whine." 

[hogwild84]

All of these teams i think are locks now. 6 for the SEC this year

[wincrimson]

WHO DO WE NEED TO WIN THIS GAME?!?!?!

Alabama has the tie breaker w/ us so it doesn't help us if they lose in the standings...BUT I think it's best if FLA wins and stays a top 10 team and we can get in as the SEC's 5th team and Bummer can worry about being the 6th

Doesn't look like that's going to happen... Both of us beat both UT & Florida but we also took down Kentucky at Rupp Arena and have a higher Strength of schedule/RPI. The bottom line is that both Bama and Arkansas are going to the tourney and it doesn't matter who is the SEC's "5th or 6th team."

RTR & WPS

What is key for us is that we beat TN- a top 5 RPI team- on their court. Yall beat them in tuscaloosa.  Just having that win so late in the season is a big booster. I dont worry about it bc i believe firmly that we are both in...

Nah, no way.

[jrw11475]

Bama certainly helped their cause today.

[jrw11475]

Is Florida a bubble team now?

Thats funny.  Florida is in.

[hogaddict]

The only team that is on the bubble is Kentucky.  That could change if we lose one of our last two and if Kentucky wins.  They need to win at least one more to get in for sure as do we.

Umm...they've lost three straight, and have played horrible since that good start. Typical Florida team, they won't sniff the sweet 16. Bank on it.

This is an interesting point.   Florida is at 8-6 now in the SEC, the same as Arkansas.  The 22-6 overall record isn't all that great when you look at their non-conference slate.   The FSU/Miami/Wake wins certainly look less impressive now that all 3 of those teams are obviously average at best.

Florida is a lock, but the question is, why?  Objective question.....why are they more impressive on paper than a 19-8 (8-6) Arkansas team?

[RazorWire]

All of these teams i think are locks now. 6 for the SEC this year

5   I think Kentucky sits NIT this year.

[ReverendRazorback]

Here are the 6 SEC teams that I believe are going in this order - still not sure about Kentucky though:
LSU
Tenn
Alabama
Florida
Arkansas
Kentucky

[silvertip]

AND, Hawgs with 11 games vs top 50 have played more games vs top 50 than any other SEC team except LSU (12).

AND Hawgs have more wins vs top 50---at 5---than any SEC team except LSU (6).  WPS!!!

[94 Hawg]

'Bama beats Florida
