Yeah the next 5 games are critical...

At SC and Auburn, then Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky at home, before finishing at LSU. I'd be very happy to finish 5-1 against that schedule, taking care of business on the road against the weaker Auburn and LSU teams and then taking 3/4 against the tougher teams. I'm afraid though that playing teams with current RPIs of 82, 84, and 103 are going to negate the effect of playing the other three. SC on the road is going to be very tough, as they are fighting for an NCAA bid. Georgia despite playing themselves out of the tournament and having a low RPI will be a handful too even though we get them at home. 7/11 of their games have gone 5 sets and they took Florida to 5 sets in a loss at Gainsville.

It's pretty amazing what Kreklow has done this year after losing last years seniors and then Caffey for the season. I don't like the way he relies so heavily on transfers, which is kind of a crapshoot, I'd rather see him recruit more elite high school players who will be here 4 years, particularly from in state where there is a good amount of D1 talent. But you can't argue with his success on the court.
