Ok I was thinking 40 wins would definitely get us in.

Don’t drop a series, win a few games in the SBC Tournament and stay in the top 40 RPI.

39 or 40 wins likely gets us in.
Anything less will likely keep us out.
Getting a win over Alabama or Auburn will also look better to the selection committee.

Looks like pitching is finally starting to come around.(knock on wood)I would love to sweep gags here in Mobile. Think we can do some damage if we get in.

9-8 the rest of the way won’t cut it. 37 not the number.

Great win against Auburn, we need to win each series and beat Bama! Hopefully get in but beating Aub and Bama would help recruiting tremendously for next year!

Real time Warren Nolan predictor has us finishing 41-15. Sweeping South. Beating Jax St.Sweeping Georgia Southern. Losing to Bama. 2 of 3 from Marshall. Sweeping App St. I think that's a little generous, but I'll take it!
*projected final RPI of 18*
Yesterday, it had TROY projected to drop 2 of 3 to South, loss to Alabama, but winning the rest with a projected final RPI of 21.
I think if we handle our business and win all 4 series (sweeps or 2 of 3) series the rest of the way we *should* have a strong enough RPI to get an at large bid. Sweeping the road series (South and Marshall) would be great!

Good series win against a Quad 2 squad, but Sunday's loss (combined with other results) dropped us about five spots in Warren Nolan's LiveRPI. It's not exact, but it's a good barometer of what's happening. Prior to Sunday's game, we had reached No. 27, which is solidly in the field. Now it's 32 — a gain of one for the week — which should get us an at-large bid. But we're hanging perilously close to the bubble.
We have got to develop a Sunday starter to close out the season strong. We're 1-7 in the third game of Sun Belt series, surrendering an average of eight runs per game. Marshall may be a good candidate to weep, but Appalachian State is not a slouch anymore, having beat Coastal once and losing in extras in another game.

Nope. Finishing season 0-3 won’t get it done.

Troy really could sit home with a loss today and a first round loss in the tourney. The selection committee will likely focus a lot on Quad wins, and Troy doesn't exactly have a huge resume when it comes to wins against Top 50 teams. Have to keep winning so the RPI alone can bump us in.

Yeah. 0-2 next week ain’t going to cut it. RPI will probably drop into the 40s.

We’re probably in the same boat we were in 2013: probably in, but it will help to win at least one. Take care of Appalachian State Wednesday, and I think we’ll hear our name called.
Of course, we could do what we needed to in 2018 and at least reach the title game. With the tournament in the backyard, that would be nice. To do that, we’ve got to stay in the winner’s bracket. We don’t have enough pitching to lose one and battle back.
