He had us 'In' before our game, but after a double-digit win on the road at SC we're out? Did he not look at our resume before?

On paper, we don't look like a tourney team. But the way we've played lately warrants a bid, as Hubert pointed out.<div>
</div><div>"Just win, baby."</div><div>- Al Davis</div><div>
</div><div>That's all we have to do. Can't stumble at Auburn. Desperately need to beat Tennessee and put a quality win on our resume. Take at least one game in Nashville and we're a lock. Make it to Sunday up there and we might improve our seeding to the 7-10 range. As it stands, we're barely in and looking at a 12 or 13 seed.</div>

That Friday game in Nashville is big, b/c it gives us another opportunity for a quality win, Saturday too for that matter.

Jay had us IN going into today, saying we "still have work to do" well we worked SC's *** today and he now downs us. Too bad they don't look at how we lost our games. 7 out of 8 all within 7 or fewer pts... not to mention the hosedUK game

Looking like the winner of Florida/Alabama for us if things play out like they should. Win that and we'd likely be facing the winner of Vandy/Miss/USC.<div>
</div><div>Ideally, we get Florida on Friday and Vandy on Saturday, with the opportunity to avenge losses from earlier in the year and secure a bid in the process.</div>

They are jumping all over Notre Dame now that they have won a couple games against ranked teams, but they still have like 11 or 12 losses. I think a better record should make up for that.

Tennessee, on account of their better record against the East than Florida (assuming the Gators don't win in Lexington) should win the tie-break if needed for 3rd in the East. Same with UGA/USC for 5th. Assuming Arkansas beats Ole Miss, they'd win the tie-break on account of sweeping the Rebs for 2nd in the West.<div>
</div><div>So, you're likely looking at these matchups in Nashville:</div><div>
</div><div>W4 Auburn</div><div>E5 Georgia</div><div>E1 Kentucky</div><div>
</div><div>E3 Tennessee</div><div>W6 LSU</div><div>W2 Arkansas</div><div>
</div><div>------</div><div>
</div><div>E4Florida</div><div>W5 Alabama</div><div>W1 State</div><div>
</div><div>W3 Ole Miss</div><div>E6 South Carolina</div><div>E2 Vandy</div><div>
</div><div>Edited to add: In a perfect world, we roll through the best of the East to finish the season, beating Tennessee on Senior Day, then Florida, Vandy, and Kentucky in Nashville. Like I said, in a perfect world.</div>

that's 4 quality wins vs our 1. Maybe UGA should be ahead of us too.

One thing I have noticed is that the committee members are getting out and trying to actually watch these teams play for a change. For example, there were a couple of committee members at our game vs Ole Miss. Also, the head of the committee is the UCLA AD or President so he has seen us up close.

However, the thought of us going to the tournament while Hansbrough Jr. sits his *** at home (two years in a row) is priceless.
