According to ESPN bubble watch...

[checkraiser88]

We could lose out and make it in easily...Am I reading this correct?

"With games remaining at Alabama, at home against Auburn and at Missouri, the Hogs can most certainly improve that projected seed. Better still for Arkansas fans, it's not clear that any combination of losses there would harm that bracket position appreciably."

I just don't believe that if Hogs don't get at least 1 more win, they will make the tournament. 8-10 in conference and less than 20 wins total. Nope nope nope. Gotta win at least 1.

Total wins is a little outdated. Vanderbilt won 17 last year and got in. We may have lost to LSU twice but they are still a top 100 team. We have no bad losses on our resume

I've seen Vandy get used as an example dozens of times. I just don't trust the committee to put a team in the tourney that loses last 4 games of the season and doesn't have any remarkable wins. Top 20 teams might get away with it. We shall see tho.

There's really just not that many bubble teams with better resumes than us. And there's plenty of teams in our range with low reward high risk games left. We have a nice schedule to end the year.

Jerry Palm said before the Hogs game in Baton Rouge there was a chance they could go 8-10 and get in, depending on who the loses were to. IF they lose the next 3 they might have to win one in the sect.

Pure comedy lol

[razorback1829]

This is not good for the narrative y'all.... LMAO

[cram224]

Could possibly meet LSU again in the first round in the SECT. If lucky catch Auburn or Tenn in second round. Hate to go into the SECT needing one win.

Lunardi himself said that rankings doesn't matter to the committee. SMU was snubbed a few years ago and they were a top 25 team.

Before the Kentucky disappointment I thought they would go 2-2 and then 1-1 in the sec tourney to get in.
We'll see....

[PharmacistHog]

Well.........hopefully we are in no matter what happens then.

Palm said last night that history shows the line is drawn at having to be 4 games above .500 and be in a strong league. I know people scoff at getting in at say 20/13 but if you try to put 68 teams in, ultimately you get back to the power conferences and teams that are below .500 in league.
