Hoover Scenarios

[MSUDC11]

We would currently be the 5 seed playing Georgia in the late game on Tuesday.

We can no longer win the league title, but the West is still in play. Need two wins and an Arkansas loss.

To get a bye, we have to do one better than Arkansas the next two days or win our next two.

Worst case scenario: we get swept, Auburn sweeps Ole Miss, A&M wins the next two. Three way tie for fifth at 17-13. First tiebreaker goes to A&M because of record against highest seeded common opponent (LSU). We lose the head to head against Auburn. We are the seven seed.

Totally different feeling from where we were after the first Georgia game. Maybe Andy can rally the troops one more time and find a way to eek out two more wins. Really would love to send off the old DNF with a Regional.

We aren't hosting, may as well cut that thought loose. Unless we win a regional and get lucky with another 1 seed going down, and host a Super.

Get ready for a Regional in Hattiesburg

They may put Mississippi down there. Assuming they even make the tournament. I think they will, but they need another win or two.

 

[MSUDC11]

I think it's more likely that we go to Hattiesburg as a 2 than Ole Miss going there as a 3.

If we don't go to Hattiesburg, I think we'll be shipped off to an ACC location. UNC, Clemson, Wake, something like that. But Hattiesburg is probably a safe bet.

Arkansas looks to be the team stealing our host spot with our recent struggles. Fair enough considering they swept us.

Whatever outside chance of hosting we have is toast with one more loss this weekend or a poor showing in Hoover.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Beating LSU means a lot. If we win the next 2 we probably host. The reason we aren't projected to host, is because no one in their right mind expects us to beat LSU 2 times in a row.

 

[MSUDC11]

Losing a series to LSU, who is probably on their way to a national seed, won't be the reason we don't host.

The Auburn and Georgia series will be why we don't host. We were in control and took Game 1 in both series against teams we were better than, and then we just didn't finish the job.
