If you're referring to a top-8 seed, I think we could win out and not get a top-8 seed. The problem is Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and A&M are all in line for a top-8 seed. I don't think they want to give five SEC teams a top-8 seed, especially when the 5th team has a marginal host resume.

If we sweep Missouri and Arkansas we will 100% be a national seed

I’ve run some numbers on north Alabama to see what a win would do if we played today. Probably a 5-7spot drop. I hope that’s off. Arkansas will help but that’s balanced out by Mizzou.

edited: probably more like a 3 spot drop. Found a flaw in the calculation

We’re in kind of a strange place with RPI right now. We’re 18th. Which is real good. But we’re closer to #26 Vandy than we are to #17 Oklahoma. If season ended today, I think we host. But probably need at least 5-2 in these last 7 games + a win or 2 in SECT to maintain that.

We're doomed.

We started playing really well when everybody started spending their Saturdays doing yard work. Now that we care again, I'm ready to get my heart broken.

I don’t think we can make a top 8 but a W at Arkansas and a sweep of Missouri and we are right on the bubble and likely get a Host.
Win 2 at Arkansas and I think we’re a lock for a Host spot.

This is the right answer. Probably need a win in the SECT to clinch it.
