Can we go ..

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

10-6 over the next 1 day and 5 weekends?
If so, that puts us at 20-10 overall barring any rainouts.
Is that enough to win back to back SEC Titles ??
21-9 does for sure I think.
A sweep of bama is a must at this point I order to do it. Back to back wkends at A&M and UGA is huge as well. Need to go 3-3 during that stretch at minimum.

20 should win the overall

It's really hard to project honestly. We have to be right at the top of favorites for SEC Champs, but who knows how that would shake out in terms of host spots given the leagues lack of front runner teams.

I think our magic number is 18 SEC wins. Having said that, I could easily see a 18 win SEC team not hosting this year, especially if it's Ark.

 

[Confucius Say]

Maybe ole miss will beat somebody again to allow us to win the overall

 

[WrapItDog]

especially if it's Ark.

Ark has a pretty easy schedule this year. Tenn, Mizzo, GA, and Vandy from the east.

Left to play AU, OM, TN, Vandy, & A&M.

 

[tatedog]

We've been hoping for them to win a series in Baton Rouge since 1982, and we are now looking forward to it happening in 2019.

eta: That's 37 years at least. To put this in perspective, Ole Miss football has suffered 3 major probationary periods during that time frame, and even more stunningly, Mississippi State football will have won in Baton Rouge at least 3 times.

Thanks rebels*******

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

They will win a baseball series in Red Stick before they play football in the SECCG.

It's not going to be a cake walk, but finding 10 wins in Bama, Auburn, UGA, ATM, and LSU isn't the tallest mountain to climb. Bama and UGA are the worst 2 teams in the SEC and we should get 5 (maybe 6) out of those. Can we find 5 more in AU, ATM, and LSU? I think we can.

I think as of right now we might be hosting. Sitting at #16 RPI and we are ranked # 15 in D1 Baseball.com. Most of the other polls should have us in the top 15. We have the third highest RPI in the SEC. At the most, that gets us one of the last few hosting sites. At the least, we are in the discussion with 5 weeks of the season left. If we can get to 18-20 wins in the SEC, I think that gets us a host spot.

Winning that last series at home against LSU would really look good to the committee.

 

[57stratdawg]

I don't know if 8-8 with 5 wins coming against Bama and UGA will get it done.

 

[missouridawg]

I don't know if 8-8 with 5 wins coming against Bama and UGA will get it done.

If we go 3-6 against AU, aTm, and LSU then we don't deserve it. Gotta win 2 of those 3 series, as well as winning 5 vs Bama/UGA.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Who you beat means nothing as far as SEC record.

If you are talking about hosting, going 8-7 for a final SEC record of 18-12 may or may not get it done. OOC may bite us, like it did in 2014. Going 1-2 in midweek would have us 34-22. I think we'd get left out unless RPI was still top 15 or so.

We need to overachieve in the SEC for certain.

 

[rem101]

Better start the process of cancelling the beach trip...

 

[HD6]

Considering we aren't playing 16 games in the final five 3 game series, you might be right.

 

[57stratdawg]

Haha sorry. I included the Gov't Cup

 

[DawgatAuburn]

FWIW, each of the last three years the overall winner has been at 21. Twice it was 21-9, once 21-8. Four years ago was Vandy at 26-3 with LSU in second at 23-7.

 

[HD6]

Don't feel bad, Warren Nolan is doing it too.

 

[1msucub]

That 26-3 business was insane.

 

[patdog]

Hell, LSU at 23-7 is one of the best records in SEC history, and they still finished 3-1/2 games back.

 

[8dog]

Vandy went 26-3 and went 0-2 in supers. Says it all about college baseball

 

[Todd4State]

Was that the year they had that player pass away right before the regional or super regional?

 

[HD6]

No that was last year.

 

[Shamoan]

incredible.

 

[57stratdawg]

I agree. And our midweek games are important. South AL RPI is sitting at 77 and a road W would be really nice. Gov's Cup looks important now too.

I don't know if 3-0 midweek and 18 SEC wins gets us a host. 3-0, 19 wins is on the front side of the bubble, IMO and 3-0, 20 wins locks us in.
