Not having serious doubts but...

Just contemplating how big a task we have in front of us.

I just wonder when was the last time a team has swept three consecutive SEC series. I don't think its happened this year. Then again, there hadn't been a no hitter since 94 until this season.

We will likely not sweep the last two series. While it would be cool to win the SEC, and that's a logical goal to shoot for at this point -- we are 1.5 games out with 6 to play. It's still a very tough task that no one should be all that disappointed about if it isn't accomplished. We just need to win the two series and secure our national seed.

Personally, I think I'd rather not enter the postseason on an 11 game winning streak.

Anything less than 4-2 is unacceptable. 5-1 the most likely scenario.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I just

want us to win both series, and Troy, and I think we'll be good. Then again, I'm no RPI expert.****

I'd rather win 'em all, but that's just me. If I was going to lose one before starting the postseason tournament that matters, it would be one in Hoover, although I like winning that trophy too. But if you put 6-1 in front of me right now though, I'd take it and roll the dice on how that shakes out with the West and the overall.

Gotta win tonight, first. I don't expect to sweep either weekend, but tonight might be the biggest obstacle to overcome.

 

[rugbdawg]

True. RPI wise, Troy is the best club left on our schedule.

I'd still take it if you offered me 5-2. At least for the West and a national seed. I don't think we can win the overall. Just don't see us doing 2 games better than both Carolina and Florida the next two weekends.

 

[thekimmer]

Assuming a troy win, I don't see 4-2 getting us a national seed unless we win the SEC tourney.

You are looking too hard then.

Winning 9-10 SEC series = national seed. Don't care about any of the other metrics.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

I concur. I just don't want the Sweeps ruined by shenanigans. See Alabama.

Funny, my first thought was not looking hard enough. Same sentiment I suppose. Nine out of 10 has to be good enough.
