Way too early for this type of talk.  Need to handle Memphis this week.  Gotta win 2 out of 3.  A sweep would be nice, but definitely can't count on that.  The midweek game in Gainesville doesn't mean much, but would be a nice feather in our cap.  The Wichita State series will be huge if we take care of business this weekend.  I've been saying all year if we finish Top 4 in the conference we go dancing.  Hoping we can somehow win it all before the conference tourney  

It's looking like top 5 may get in.   A sweep this weekend isn't necessary, but it would go a long way towards getting that bid.  I don't think a #1 seed/host site is likely unless we do some serious table running.

For anyone who's into college baseball and hasn't seen this site, it's good for projections, analytics, etc. about the current and future season.

UF dropped another mid-week to Mercer. 

1. Upset of the Day: Mercer Topples Florida

A week after getting knocked off by Jacksonville in midweek action, top-ranked Florida was upset at home in another Tuesday game, this time by Mercer, 6-4. The Gators built a 4-1 lead after one inning, but Mercer tied it up with a pair of homers in the third by RJ Yeager and Le Bassett, then took the lead for good on Yeager’s squeeze an inning later. Bullpen wizard Robert Broom improved to 8-1 with six sterling innings of relief for Mercer, allowing no runs on four hits and a walk while racking up 12 strikeouts. Broom now owns a 1.33 ERA and has 84 strikeouts in 54.1 innings over 22 relief appearances this year. After enduring a six-game losing skid, Mercer has now rebounded with three straight victories to improve to 29-14 overall.

Ugh...that decreases our chances from a statistical perspective
