On the bright side, there are 4 SEC teams directly in front of us.
7 Florida
8 LSU
9 Arkansas
10 South Carolina
Florida still has weekend series left against LSU, Ark, & SC.
LSU has a weekend series left against UF, Ole Miss, & Vandy.
Arkansas still has weekend series left against UF, SC, Ole Miss, Vandy, & Auburn.
South Carolina still has weekend series left against UF & Ark.
Attrition should get at least 2 (and maybe 3 of them) out of our way down the road.
I think you have made a good point: two of these teams will drop at least one series before the season ends. The polls reward winning series each weekend, even if you drop a game and possibly a mid-week game as well (UF and FSU did just that last week, each dropping a mid-week and one of their weekend games). TCU must continue to win its weekend series, and we must come back in the suspended Air Force game. If not, we will get hammered for losing a weekend series to a poor team.
