With 22 regular season games remaining and sitting at 15-13, how many wins would the Tigers need to be inside the NCAA tournament bubble? Would going 14-8 get it done?

14-8. With 30 auto bids going to conference champs, just like basketball, a USC-upstate could lose their conference but most assured to get a bid based on their rpi.
So that only leaves 34 at large. We're currently 4th in our division. Most likely only 5 teams from the ACC will get in this year.
The p5 breakdown will most likely go:
SEC- 9 teams P12- 5 teams B12- 5 teams B1G- 4 teams? ACC- 4 teams?
That will just about wrap up the at large bids. Now, the ACC currently has 6 q1 in rpi teams now. We're 3-10 against quad 1 teams... But we're at 45 rpi. We only have a few more games against q1 teams as it stands now. Fla St, and GA tech, Duke, Louisville are all currently outside q1. Obviously this will change when the conference games are played.
Bottom line, we're on thin ice. We need to win this weekend series against our toughest left rpi opponent and win all our mid week games. 6 ACC series left, win all of the series... Sweep a couple series, and we may be able to still get in with losing a series or two. Don't see any realistic way we get in if we get swept on any series.
Apologies for the long post but a lot of different scenarios where we could squeeze in going 12-10 or possibly having to go better than 14-8. Might take 16-6. Bottom line we suk at current top 50 rpi teams. Pitiful.
