    Crazy that UK is in first four out. Winning at UT didn't do much for them, I guess.

    That USCe loss is a resume killer for UK. I do think they'll get in.

    That's just Joe Lunardi playing the clickbait rage game. Kentucky will get in.
    Gators need to snag some good wins.

    sweeping pUKe would be a nice starter.

    Even 8 spots is a lot to climb without a decently long winning streak that includes quality wins. The good news is that we only have one resume killer left on our schedule, home against South Carolina.

    Agree on Ky, tho they're currently only up 2 at home vs Ga and it's getting late. . :eek:

    Hard to believe they have played as poorly as they have given the big guy in the middle. Big guy whose name I can't spell, so i'll just call him Oscar.

    After TA&M and Miss St, it will get brutal-3 road games vs top 15 teams. Win 2 of the 3 road games and we should clinch a March Madness invite: at #13 Kansas St 16-2 (who beat #1 Kansas tonight), #9 Tennessee, at Kentucky, at #4 Alabama.

    Oscar dominated that game last night. He was a complete beast.

    Interested to see how big of a jump in NET we get. If we can just avoid any more home losses our NET would be in great shape come Selection Sunday.

    We have made our first appearance here. This is a really good tool to see the wider view. Updated a few times a week, then usually daily as we get to championship week.

    That's actually very good news. Means we're right there. Even if we lose the next two but win our home game with Kentucky and finish strong, we can get to 19 or 20 regular season wins. I think 19 gets us in. A lot depends, of course, what happens in conference tourneys around the country, and with other bubble teams. But we have a path forward. A win at Arky should be a quality win. But we still have to keep improving to get there.

    I agree. ESPN is Just priming the pump for Selection Sunday when "the Committee" will talk about strength of schedule . . . or last few games . . . or "the eye test" (which is the most ridiculous) . . . or overall body of work. Whatever they need to justify who CBS picks. LOL! :)

    Should be a big year, tournament wise, for the Big 12 though.

    Florida controls it's tournament fate right now and that's the best place to be.

    Talking about the ACC as bad as FSU is this year Boston College, Louisville and Georgia Tech are even worse and Notre Dame is almost as bad. The bottom end of this conference is a joke.

    And the top end isn't that good.

    Agree on the Big 12.
