Sitting at 24th in the RPI and 2 games back of first place in the Western division and a #2 seed in the SEC Tournament.
We play an Alabama team that has been less than impressive this season, while the other three teams in front of us are on the road at Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. UF and USC should easily take care of Auburn and Ole Miss - Arkansas will probably take one from Georgia so we won't be able to overtake even with a sweep.
If USC and Florida sweep and Georgia takes 2 of 3, and we take 2 of 3, and LSU takes 2 of 3 against Kentucky, then the West will look like this:
Arkansas 10-11
Mississippi State 9-12
Alabama 9-12
Auburn 9-12
Ole Miss 9-12
LSU 6-15
These results would put us well within striking distance for the West, and put us as the No. 6 seed after the weekend with three winnable weekends to go.
If Ole Miss and Auburn were to take one, then we are the No. 8 seed after the weekend if we took 2 of 3 and Ole Miss is the odd man out.
