+1 and #.
It's a shame we are 12-4 in conference play and are on the bubble because of automatic bids from the "Slightly West of Center Interathletic Mid-Mountain Plains conference" (SWCIMMP Conference). I say that tongue-in-cheek, but there really are too many automatic bids for lesser conference teams. I still think we're in, regardless of the SEC tournament.
I hope you are right but most "so called" experts do not agree with you. They place too much on the RPI. With our recent play and our 12-4 SEC record we pass the eye test.
