This is interesting to look at, but obviously it will change as teams around us and our former opponents play. As an example, if all of our non-conference opponents win and improve our RPI, we could get away with 2 home wins and 3 road wins and still finish top 16 because of the boost our opponents give us for winning. On the flip side, if our former opponents start tanking it may require more to stay top 16.

Last night the games going final pushed our RPI to 16 without us playing. So it may not be as difficult to finish top 16 or top 8 as it was when you run the numbers at RPI of 18.

I think the most likely scenario is probably finishing the season 5-4 with 2 wins over UT, 2 wins over Vandy, and 1-2 v A&M on the road.

on Boyds we moved up 1 spot but the needs stayed the same

NCAA has us the same as Warren Nolan, which is 16. I wonder why Boyd's is different.

Keep in mind the three RPI listings you see at any moment are NOT necessarily in real time, so they may not be the same.  Over the years, I've used primarily Nolan b/c 1) they seem almost always up-to-the-minute after results come in, and 2) their many extra features, ie Predictions, conference breakdowns, RPI delta changes, etc.

Bottomline: they all wind up the same in the end.

At the time of my post, all 3 were updated for games thru May 2nd. Warren and the NCAA were the same, but Boyds was different. I agree, I like Warren Nolan the most.

Apparently there are slight differences in each of their RPI formulas.

For instance... Boyd states in its heading:  "These are not the official RPI's, but they are intended to match them almost exactly. The differences are that I don't track tie games, and that I can't always tell what will be called a neutral-site game versus an off-site home game for one team."

Could account for the difference you found, and even now that Boyd has us 17, while other two are 16.

so... Arkansas has to win 4 of the next six games to have a chance to host...

[TikiHog]

or hope a few teams ahead of them have bad weeks like Auburn did

[HogFansReunited]

We just need to find a way to win the next two series.  This team can beat anyone when they are clicking.

[jmingram911]

Well heck, looks like it's time to get to clicking and get two sweeps to finish out the season!! Man 41-13 (21-9) in SEC would look FANTASTIC! Hard to not give Baum a regional and super regional in this instance if you ask me. Especially if we swept the sAGggies at their place.

Definitely - we would probably get super in that scenario. Could just as easily lose both series, so winning both of them period will be a great success.

[jmingram911]

Agreed brother, I tend to dream when it comes to hogs sports LOL. Also FWIW, Fla, LSU, and AUB all lost in midweek action tonight. USF slugged it out 15-10 against UF. Aub lost to UAB, and someone beat LSWho so Hallelujah!

[CJ HOG]

Our chances as a National Seed set sail with the home losses to Ole Miss if not before @ AU imo. There's too many teams to get past regarding W's and the rpi, and not enough games left barring 6 game slides by  a half dozen teams.

Good news is with stumbles by key teams of late, I think we host by finishing 3-3 or better. Probably a good idea not to go 0-2 in SEC tourney either if we can muster a first round bye.

[YtownHog]

Hogs got a nice RPI boost tonight.  First WVU lost to a 200+ rpi team and fell below us.  Before LSU and Georgia games went final Hogs were at 16.LSU lost so the Hogs jumped them helped by Georgia beating Georgia Tech and moving our sweep of them back to 51-100 rpi category.
