    Yes. 4-0 seems pretty sure-fire. I'm not sure I would pencil-in a Kentucky win at UcheaT . . . so a loss there would further help Florida's chances . . . but we have to win either USCe or The Gump game, at least, and hold serve the other two.. Just win and things take care of themselves.

    Oops penciled a win for both in that game, but counted it in the standings as a Tennessee win.

    Think we will be able to go 3-1 at least. I’d be surprised if not. Nice to say for once!

    I’m not so sure about 4-0. Two of those four are South Carolina, and Alabama, either which can blow it up on any given night. But I hope you’re right.

    As hot as we’ve been, I would take 3-1 to close right now. I assume we will be slightly favored on the road vs USCe, but it’s still a road game against a good team. We will probably be slightly favored against Bama at home, but again it’s a 50-50 game. Taking care of business in the other two and splitting the 50-50 games would be solid heading into the tourney.

    I'd take 2-2 to close out. Win one I. The sect and enjoy a 6 or 7 seed. If you offered me this in October, I'd take it and call the season a success.

    Anything beyond that: better than 2-2 to close, more than one win in SECT, 2nd weekend in the dance - that's all gravy. Gravy we're capable of enjoying, and boy would I enjoy it!

    Wherever we land in the SECT, I hope that if we make it to the championship game on Sunday, the NCAA doesn't punish us with a Thursday game in the NCAAT. They've done that to us before.

    Good point. I wasn't clear, was I? I meant in response to @gogators73 . . . if we go 4-0 we'd be the #4 seed. Thanks!

    I also agree with you: Finishing 4-0 is anything but sure.

    Yes they have and it is wild. Wish the SECT game was on Saturday or make the two teams play Friday. Not sure why those teams get punished for making their title game.

    They would also make it the noon game on TRU TV.

    I’m sitting here hoping we get a double bye. When the season started, I’d been thrilled at a chance of a bye….period.

    What a great place to be, and I’m gonna enjoy watching the guys take on the challenge. They’ve proven to me….they’re gamers, and that’s all you can ask for in a season that started with so many question marks.

    A&M is in a tailspin. I hope they can beat USCe in College Station, but I doubt it

    They still have a shot at a bid with a really strong finish so I’m hoping their crowd comes out and gives them a boost.

    4-0 will be tough! It would show the desire of this team to take it to another level.

    Wouldn't bet against Kentucky.
    Don't think they'll lose twice.

    Until they show some consistency I think their own fans aren't sure what UK team will show up.

    There are plenty of what ifs and possibilities to go but I believe for us it all comes down to winning at SC. If we win the next two we are in the driver's seat and hope UK doesn't win out.

    What happens if UK and UF finish share the regular season title? Who gets the top seed?

    I think expecting us to go 4-0 is looking for disappointment. We are a very good team but so are Bama and USCe. Would love to see us just not lose the games we shouldn’t. So many of our recent teams couldn’t even do that.
