It's there for the taking...

...the precious 1 seed in the Big Dance.

The RPI is great. It's a lock that the Vols will keep the top spot heading into the tourney.

Some still have the Vols as the #1 overall seed, due to that lofty RPI.

If the Vols can get to 30 wins before the tournament, a 1 seed is a definite.

If they manage 29 wins, they're still probably a 1.

If they can only get to 28 or 27 wins, they may be stuck with a 2.


All I want is clear sailing into the Sweet Sixteen. The #1 overall seed is usually given that type of road to travel.
