No, we are not a 'lock'.
I remember when ESPN used to update their bubble watch daily. Today they updated it for the first time since Friday. #lazy
ESPN - The original (not the best):
Should be in
Missouri (20-11, 10-8 SEC)
(BPI: 46 | SOS: 57 | SOR: 43 | RPI: 33)
Bubble Watch hesitates to use "win and you're in" phrasing during Champ Week. There are just too many moving parts nationwide.
That said, if the phrase is apt with any team, it's Missouri. If the Tigers win in the SEC tournament second round against the survivor of a game between Georgia and Vanderbilt, it is exceedingly difficult to concoct a scenario in which they do not go dancing.

SOLID SELECTIONS
Teams that are all but guaranteed to secure a spot in the field of 68.
MISSOURI (19-11, RPI: 33, SOS: 36, Q1 RECORD: 5-7)
The Tigers had the week they desperately needed to wrap up the regular season, knocking off Vanderbilt and Arkansas. They’ll play the Georgia-Vanderbilt winner in their first game in the SEC tournament on Thursday. Avoid what would be an ugly loss there and they’ll be locked into the dance.
Bracketville
Should Be In: Missouri, Texas AM
Missouri and Texas AM should be okay, too, although not quite as solid.
