Hang a banner! Seriously, this team might sneak into the NCAA tournament again after all. 5-1 in the last 6 SEC games with a very winnable series vs Georgia coming up and an RPI of #33.

They're still a last place team. The conference isn't that strong this year either. FL and AR are the best and neither are as good as FL normally is. AL has been hit with injuries and they're a bit overrated. UGA and TN are down. AU and A&am aren't very good. LSU is down. KY is down. Just not a strong year.

NEXT to last place team, thank you. I certainly don't think we deserve an NCAA bid, but there have been several teams that got one I didn't think deserve it. I really don't care about softball, but it's good to see them win 5 out of 6 after the 0-14 start. BTW, UGA is 7-14 in the league, definitely a winnable series the way the team's been playing the last couple of weeks.

And two of those wins were vs last place SC. Anyone outside the top 10, normally doesn't make it. We'll have to win the series with UGA and need LSU to win their series with AU. Then we've got a shot.

Hasnt the entire conference (13 teams) made it the last couple of NCAA tournaments?

Only because the SEC was strong. It's not as strong this year. We'll see...beyond the top 10 will be tough IMO but the UGA win over OU might swing some weight.

Hmmm, We were ranked 24th before the SEC started. Wonder why we have floundered so bad with a weak SEC?

From a quick look a the coaches' poll, SEC has 9 teams ranked and 2 others receiving votes. Doesn't seem all that weak to me.
