I know it would be good but could it put us above a 7 seed in the NCAAT.

Edited to add: I asked about Vandy because they are the highest ranked team we have left. I realize we play two other games.

it would be huge for the RPI b/c it is a game against a team with a great winning % (that huge win or lose), its a road win (more rpi points) and it gets an RPI adjustment upward for being against a top 50 RPI opponent.

It would also boost our resume to 3 Top 50 wins. We honestly need ole miss to win a few games.

It would be HUGE. I'm guessing an improvement of 10-12 spots in the RPI ranking. We'll get a fairly significant boost just by playing them even if we lose.

because that will put us in the best position to stay away from #1 or #2 for as long as possible.

IF we were to win at Florida and then beat LSU and get one victory in the SECT I think we would have a good shot at a 6.
