I sort of expect to be projected in the tournament as of now. D1 had us as next four out last week.We moved up approximately 10 spots in combined ELO and RPI, and are back to receiving votes in all polls.

We're not going to be in the hosting conversation. I really doubt we win only 11-12 games. Schedule is just far too weak for either of those to happen.Nothing would surprise me with this team. We could end up anywhere from 11-19/12-18 and out of the tourney to in the conversation for one of the last host spots. The SEC is not as strong this year and we miss a lot of the best teams, but this team can find creative ways to lose games. Our pitching has been really good the last two weeks & that is the key to winning in this league.
I am not optimistic about getting into the hosting conversation, but stranger things have happened - the combined record of the SEC teams to which we lost series thus far is 30-15 and the combined SEC record thus far of our remaining SEC opponents 28-47.We're not going to be in the hosting conversation. I really doubt we win only 11-12 games. Schedule is just far too weak for either of those to happen.
I have to post about this bc it’s insane. Mizzous staff OBA in conference is .346. They actually lowered it this weekend. Their era is 12.54.We got Florida, @ Auburn, Kentucky, Ole Miss, @ Mizzou remaining. Non conf remaining is Southern U, Memphis, and Ole Miss. We are 22-14. We can't afford a non-conf loss except maybe Ole Miss but that would be a RPI booster if we could get it.
If we sweep this weekend - I think we make the tournament.
Best case scenario that is somewhat realistic is 3-0, 1-2, 2-1, 2-1, 3-0 which would make us 16-14. I think 14-16 gets us in.
