Well, it's down to ...........

the rubber match of all rubber matches. State vs Ole Miss. Both have 2 wins against the other. Surely to Goodness we're not going to let them spoil our playoff hopes. That would be a Debbie Downer w/o a doubt.

It would suck to lose to them. But it’s really a meaningless game. We’re going to be a #2 seed on the road & their season will end before the weekend. Neither of those will change this week.

If Johnson can believe LSU is a top-15 team, I can believe we will host.

It's not meaningless. You have to win one before you can win two. Win two and you have a shot at hosting.

Don’t completely disagree with you, but I think we have to win 3 to host. And that’s not happening. Biggest reason I want to win is I don't want to go into regional play with only 1 game in 13 days.

^^^^^^^^ this. Win 2 and make your Vegas reservations. You can 100% lock that in (unless Cohen is making the hosting decisions, he'd probably make OM a host before us).

He sounds like us in football. BUT THE TEAMS WE PLAY ARE GOOD

The bigger question/puzzle is how the rotation will look. Do you piece meal it together vs Rebs and hope the bats save us, so Khal can go against A&M?

I think so. Worst case, you get innings for some pitchers you may need if you play 4-5 games in a regional. Best case you have your #1 & #2 lined up to maybe beat A&M and TN and sneak into a host position.
