The margin for error seems to only be getting smaller as we go on. We only have 4 losses but are struggling to move up and the teams ahead are just going to beat up on one another and even hold position when they have a 1-2 or even 0-3 weekend.

I realize it's still a little early, but it looks like we may end up being on the bubble for a regional host site if we hold here. With the Belt being so down this year, we may not move up much even if we win out. If I understand correctly, it's not based solely on Rpi, but with the committee's history of under-seeding us, I don't get any warm and fuzzies about our chances at a top-16 seed. If we do end up as a 2-seed, any chance we host anyway?

Could the history of underseeding be due to the past coach’s issues getting along with others? Maybe that underseeding is a thing of the past with Glasco at the helm.

Yeah, it stinks to have 5 teams with double digit losses ahead of us because they are in the SEC, Big Ten or Big 12.

15(!) losses for Kentucky including a 5 game losing streak at one point and they're above us. They lost 2/3 at home to Ole Miss and still ahead

Interesting and would be great if true.

#1 seeds host. Every facility in the country meets the minimum requirements to host or can meet them with minimal effort (bringing in portable toilets, seats, etc.)

Although it's the last home series, might help to get a couple of games rained out vs. GA State.

It's all a matter of opinion. My opinion is that SEC, PAC 12, ACC, Big 12 and Big 10 always get the benefit of any doubt.
