Will anyone actually go on record saying we don't make Hoover?

If anyone is actually foolish enough, here's your opportunity.<div>

And we could have easily be 4 and 2. We are in good shape and once our young ones get more SEC time under belt they will improve.

our original Friday nite starter, and 2 other starters haven't played in SEC play(Bradford came back too soon) and we still played very well AT LSU and home against the # 3 team in the country. The season is still young and we have time to still be in the mix. We are 2-4 right now. If we can somehow win 2 of 3 vs Auburn who is playing lights out too, we will be right in the thick of the West. If we only win one, the sky isn't falling yet.

The rest of the West looks pretty mediocre to me. #2 - #6 could wind up in just about any order. Really the only teams in the whole SEC that really impress me so far are Florida, Kentucky, Arkansas and maybe South Carolina.

As for making it to Hoover, right now we're in a 3-way tie for 8th. I think we'll wind up somewhere in the #7 - #9 range, so we'll probably make it to Hoover.

then we won't get to go to Hoover.

> not scared

Dont really see that - And dont 10 teams make Hoover this year? Based on that, yeah you are going.

It was a 1-year test they did before the SEC even expanded. They haven't decided what the format will be next year. If you keep it at 10, you're right back to what they were trying to avoid which was having an NCAA bubble team not make the SEC tournament. I vote for a 12-team tournament with 4 groups of 3 playing round robin (1-8-9, 2-7-10, 3-6-11, & 4-5-12) on Wed-Fri, then semifinals on Sat and finals on Sun. If there's a 3-way tie in a group, go with run differential (max + or - 10 per game). If 2 tie in run differential, then go to head-to-head, if all 3 are still tied then higher seed advances. Everybody gets 2 games. Nobody has to play more than 4.

I have always argued against the argument "why should you go to a regional if you did not make your conference tournament". That statement never made much sense to me because the conference makes the rules as to who can attend. Hell the conference could let all 12 teams in if they wanted. Why should that keep a team from making it to a regional? Hell both Ole Miss and LSU should have made it to a regional last year. There were a lot of teams not near as good that did. If the SEC allowed 10 teams in last year they might have gotten a invite.
