Us and UF have the easiest path left, IMO. I think Bama and UGA will actually determine who wins the SEC, because it might come down to winning 5 against those two teams vs winning 6.

Think about our losses too

The teams that beat us RPI going into the weekend:

Texas Tech - 3
Kentucky - 13
USM - 25
@ Ark x 3 - 28
@ Oregon x 2 - 34
La Tech - 61
Moorhead St - 75

Marist and FIU both have RPIs right at 100. Considering we were down Stovall and searching for a game plan with our rotation, we really don't have what I would consider any terrible losses. And of the losses we do have, we gave a few of them away.

At the halfway spot in our SEC season, were sitting much better than I ever thought we would be. But all things considered, I see a team that is constantly improving and still has room to grow. I'm excited about tomorrow. We have played our way into the hosting conversation and it would be great to get one more this weekend. Long way to go yet though.

I'm glad Cann has some momentum behind him. Keep in mind that we have been behind in maybe 17 of our wins. Think about that. Things like that start at the top. We manage the game in a very methodical way that puts a lot of pressure on the other team. We play to our strengths and pitch very situationally. Regardless of the rest of the year, I'm excited about our program and the potential of what he can build here. You have to tip your hat to Henderson and the rest of the coaches too. Let's get another tomorrow and keep rolling.

Crazy that we can go 6-10 the rest of the way and still finish over .500 in conference play.

I think 18-12 is the record to shoot for to lock up a host spot. My conservative estimate has us getting to 17-13 (lose tomorrow, win 2 of 3 against Bama, Auburn, and UGA, lose 2 of 3 to A&M and LSU).

Love the position we are in right now. I've really enjoyed watching this team grow the last few weeks. Awesome to see so many late inning/comeback wins after being on the other end of that so frequently early in the year.

Arkansas jump

They jumped 10 spots since Sunday? Win over Missouri St (rip 23 now) and Georgia (102). Crazy how the numbers fall
