Moving up, that is.
Look what is going on this week...
#4 Alabama lost to Mizzou last night, giving up a staggering 110 points
# 6 Tennessee plays #7 Texas A&M....one of them will take a loss. Actually rooting for aTm because they already lost this week.
So, we are #8. There is a CHANCE that all of #4, #5, #6 and #7 could lose this week. #4 and #7 already have.
If we could beat #5 Houston on the road, we'd take a very nice jump upwards, probably to the #5 slot. Outside shot at #4.Would also help ALL the metrics in Ken Pom, NET, etc. Also the "they don't lose when MM plays" narrative would be heavily advanced.
#1 Auburn has 5 games left, 4 against ranked teams. #3 Florida has 5 games left, 3 against ranked teams. I expect Duke to ascend to the #1 ranking by default....they have 6 games left, ALL against unranked teams in the weak ACC.
Just saying, there is a path out there to play our way back onto the #1 seed line. But winning at Houston is a must for that to happen.
