Vols sniff the NCAA tourney in Dayton, Ohio ? If they win 4 of 7 remaining regular season games would That would be enough ? Can’t see the love for Arkansas considering their bad conference record. Announcers calling them a #9 seed

Vols are in at the moment. Will be in with 18-13, probably an 11-12 seed. 19-12 gets us a 9.

Agree (if they get 1 in SECT). My only concern is the computer numbers are a bit weak (considering our schedule) and if our 4 wins are over UF, Arky, USC, Vandy plus another one against lower tier team in SECT, is that enough? Does 19-14 in this scenario without a lot of upper end wins doom us to the NIT?

Yea but the flip side is that our losses upcoming would be to really good teams....also the computer numbers should start to improve as we play those teams, win or lose.

Probably need at least a win or 2 in the sec tournament. The next two years are going to be exciting to watch.

The thing with 18-13(10-8) is that there’s a very real chance that it gets us 4th place, which also means double bye, which means we very likely play a good team in our opening game and a loss wouldn’t hurt our metrics.

Sorry, 18 wins is NIT territory. However, it would put us in a position to get in with a strong SEC Tournament.

None of the tournament projections I've read really consider anyone in the SEC a "really good team". Heck one just now decided Auburn got off the bubble with its win over Bama. The only scenario I see us in is by winning the SEC tournament. Since it's been 41 years since we last won it, it'll either never happen again or we are due (take your pick).

May want to check out NET rankings and the quadrant system.

This an opinion or do you have evidence to support that claim?

The thing is, who knows? The “selection committee “ seems to change their criteria from year to year. What got you in the dance last year, may not hold weight this year. A wise man once said, “just win baby!”
GBO!!

That’s my point, as I’ve said nobody can make a definitive claim as far as the bubble goes...history suggests 18-13(10-8) and a 4th place finish in conference along with our computer numbers is more likely to get us in than have us out. However you are correct, it falls into the bubble area where you could find yourself sweating it.

18-13 and 4th place imo is enough to at least warrant a spot in a play in game. What is our strength of schedule? I feel like we play a pretty solid schedule every year, which is what the conference pushed for. I would hope the SEC would make a hard sell to politic us into the dance.
GBO!!

Split one with Auburn & I could see it. Win at least one in SECT to be on the safe side. I don’t see this squad winning on the road in Rupp this year.
