Buy/Sell the rebs make the NCAAs over Ark

[Sutterkane]

if they beat them next Wednesday.

I am buying.

Let's look at their current respective resumes:

Arkansas: 18-9, (7-6)
RPI: 45
SOS: 50
Good wins(over ~top 50 rpi):
@Baylor, @VA Commonwealth, Florida, MSU, Ole Miss

Bad losses (over 100 rpi):
@Providence, @UGA, @Bama, South Carolina, Appalachain State

Remaining games:
Vandy, Auburn, @Ole Miss

Ole Miss: 18-9, (4-9)
RPI: 49
SOS: 60
Good wins:
South Alabama, Clemson, New Mexico, MSU, Vandy, Florida

Bad losses:
Auburn twice, @LSU, @Bama, South Carolina

Remaining games:
Bama, Arkansas, @UGA

Let's face it, both teams could easily go to 1-1 besides their head to head. Vandy will probably beat Arkansas on the road, but they'll take care of business against Auburn. Ole Miss will probably beat Bama at home and lose to UGA on the road since AK has yet to win on the road in the SEC this year.

They have very similar resumes, Ole Miss having 1 more quality win and 1 fewer bad losses (although they'll lose @UGA but beating Ark at home will give them another quality win), and Ole Miss at this point could easily end up with 7-8 conference wins or more (from the SECT) and a top 50 rpi. We all saw what happened with Arkansas last year going 7-9 in the regular season and sneaking in with some tournament wins and a nice rpi. Both teams have lost 4 of their last 5.

The best record in the SEC UM can have is 7-9. Some state fans are worried about our chances and we are 10-3 currently. Ole Miss would have to win all of their remaining games and possibly make it to the title game in Atlanta to have a shot. IT AINT HAPPENIN'.

and see DevilDog's post as to why.

UM is NIT bound unless they win the SECT.

They may neither one make it if UM beats Ark, but there's no way in hell UM would make it without at a minimum winning their last 3 games then making the finals of the SECT.

Ole Miss better worry about their NIT chances. Auburn may slip in before them since they swept Ole Miss.

There's a little thing the committee looks at called Last 10 Games. While that stat doesn't look great for Arky, it looks bad for OM. They would have to go on a 3 game winning streak and then win at least two, if not 3 in the SECT. Also, the fact that OM has a poor record since conference play started won't be lost on the committee. OM = NIT bound.

and I don't give a rats *** whether we make the nit.
