At this point we are playing for a Super

The rankings are not a data point for the committee. RPI is what matters.
If you're referring to a top-8 seed, I think we could win out and not get a top-8 seed. The problem is Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and A&M are all in line for a top-8 seed. I don't think they want to give five SEC teams a top-8 seed, especially when the 5th team has a marginal host resume.
If we sweep Missouri and Arkansas we will 100% be a national seed
They don't know about the LFG? That alone should get us hosting privileges for life.
And we won't sweep both any way. The odds are not in our favor at all for a top 8 seed.
I’ve run some numbers on north Alabama to see what a win would do if we played today. Probably a 5-7spot drop. I hope that’s off. Arkansas will help but that’s balanced out by Mizzou.

We’re in kind of a strange place with RPI right now. We’re 18th. Which is real good. But we’re closer to #26 Vandy than we are to #17 Oklahoma. If season ended today, I think we host. But probably need at least 5-2 in these last 7 games + a win or 2 in SECT to maintain that.
We're doomed.
We started playing really well when everybody started spending their Saturdays doing yard work. Now that we care again, I'm ready to get my heart broken.

national top-16 seed, yes, national top-8 seed, no
Nah, we’re playing to host. That’s the realistically ambitious goal.
It’s our own fault. We waited until the season was half over before we started to get it together.
I don’t think we can make a top 8 but a W at Arkansas and a sweep of Missouri and we are right on the bubble and likely get a Host.
Win 2 at Arkansas and I think we’re a lock for a Host spot.

This is the right answer. Probably need a win in the SECT to clinch it.
Considering the shitshow we were emerging from, understandable...
