We’re right there at #4. I thought UNC might drop below us, but they held on. A lot can happen over the next few weeks, but we’re in a really good spot right now.

Just win.
Exactly. Rankings don’t matter right now. One loss & we’ll tumble far down. Have to win SEC regular title & tournament to remain a top 4 seed. ACC teams have a lot more leeway with losses. And rightfully so. It’s a much stronger conference.

Yep, the UNC loss to Stanford is proof of that.
Last 10 years current ACC teams have been to 21 final fours (out of 40 total participants), and won 6 titles. SEC, 3 appearances, all semi final losses. SEC is a strong conference. ACC is on a whole different level. We likely have to win both SEC regular season & tournament to get a top 4 seed. One or the other probably gets a top 8 seed.

Yep. Top 4 seed gets us home pitch until the College Cup. We will likely have to go through 2 ACC teams to get to the Final Four.

I'm pretty sure their coach tells them every day. They know. They're having a fantastic season, but if they get caught up looking at the rankings, they'll stumble.
I'm not a pessimist like you, so I'll say, if they win out they could be a top 4 seed.

If they win out, they’ll definitely be a top 4 seed. Could probably stand a draw & still get it. But they’re not going to give 2 top-4 seeds to SEC teams & Arkansas is #5. Top 8 seed is almost certain & that would be incredible on its own. Would put us at home for rounds 2 & 3 of the NCAA tournament.
