Tomorrow Night begins the most important run of games in recent Bama History. According to Warren Noble, Alabama presently sits with an RPI of 15 and has Three games with aTm, Three with Ole Miss and then at least one in the SEC tournament.
Right now we are projected as a two seed headed to the Durham subregional, where Duke is the 8 seed, as of last Friday. Since then, we have only improved our position, with two wins against Vandy and a win against Troy, both highly rated. I still think we are on the outside for hosting, even though we are 15th in RPI; however, with a good stretch run, we can improve our standing. I think we have to go 4-2 in the last six games of the season and win at least two in the SEC tournament and if we do that, we could get a sub-regional. We are not hurt by the fact that aTm is in the top 35 in RPI and Ole Miss is 62 in RPI. Our biggest problem is that for Bama to get a sub-regional they would probably have to give the SEC 7 sub-regionals.
My prediction would be that we end up as a two seed and go to play as a 17-20 rated program, meaning we would play in sub regional 13-16.
