You've got 2 locks; Kentucky and Florida.

And then 4 teams on the bubble; Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas and LSU. Probably in that order as of now as well.

I would guess 4 get in, but could be as few as 2 or as many as 6.

Agree (although not so sure about LSU). It seems like a couple of these teams will probably damage the others enough to knock them out. I can't help but think that the Missouri games are almost like play-in games.

Very well could be. Picture will become pretty clear over the next 1-2 weeks.

I've always been awful at figuring the RPI stuff out, but for sure we want the OOC teams to win out, right? What I mean by that, there isn't any situation where we would want Xavier or UVA to lose?

Not really. The only way we would want them to lose is if we were fighting for a bubble spot with them. But, at this point, they are both in and will most likely be in unless they collapse. So, we need them, Wake Forest, NC State, and even UTEP to continue winning. It is also nice for their other opponent's to win as well.

Like the poster above me said, the only scenario would be if it was down to us or them for a spot. However, as of now those teams are safely in, so definitely root for them.

I figured it would be worthwhile to have a dedicated thread to track RPI updates and movements since I have a feeling we are going to be watching this closely for the next few weeks.

Tennessee fell to 55 in the latest RPI.

The projection by live RPI says that 11 conference wins we finish with a 47 RPI. 12 wins 40. I think either of those numbers is good enough to get in the tourney. If we finish with 10 wins were on the bubble around where we are now. The SEC is projected to get four teams 11 conference wins makes us one of them.

I think we can possibly win 13 bc we have 3 games to spair and honestly we might have a shot at winning the sec tourney. Flashback, look at ole miss last year, they we're support to have a good year with a lot of veterans. At the end of the sec season it was looking like ole miss wouldn't make it. But they ended up winning the tourney and getting an automatic bid. I think it will be the same way with us

Like your enthusiasm but I haven't seen anything in Martin's history that tells me one of his teams would have a Chinaman's chance ... of winning any tourney.

We have a great chance. We probably will make it. Also the phrase you used is very offensive.

We were favored by 7 and won by 7. Amazes me how Vegas just nails it at times.

Wasn't looking good in the 2nd half at times. The intentional foul on Maymon was huge.

We have nothing to lose Sat. We need to go in and play fearless.

And my post quoted yours that said our Rpi is 49.

If the end of the year Rpi is the only number you are discussing then I suggest you stop posting any numbers until then

Holy $hit bruin, you on it tonight or what?

LSU winning last night didn't improve our RPI, we were 55 prior to their game, and 55 after their game. After we won, we jumped to 49, the end.
