For what it worth, espn's bracketology predicts middle to be a 13 seed. Ok, the play in games are 12 seed games. What if middle wins the conference with 1 loss another in the conference final. Are they left out of the tournament, put in the 12/12 playin round, or just in with a 12 or 11 seed?
I think they can run the table with maybe one conference loss and maybe a hiccup in the inference tournament ( Kermit has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory before), but doesn't middle's body of work get them in and not in the 12 seed playin round?
I think the Raiders may only lose one or two, perhaps the conference final game. The resume will definitely help and should get us a good seed, come tournament time. I think 13 is pretty low for a 15-2 team, but that bracketology was made on the 3rd, so it's about a week old. Things will certainly get interesting as conference play continues.

If we drop one conference game and the conference final, we'd be 28-4 with a win at Vandy. Even with adding a loss at Vandy, we'd be 27-5. There's no way we get left out with either one of those records.
Barring a major drop off in the second half, I expect we'll have a decent shot at a single digit seed. If we were to win out(which I believe to be pretty unlikely) we'd be 31-2 and at 31-2 I can't imagine us not getting at least a 7 seed.
I am excited to see a sbc team get a good seed and have a chance to play on the second weekend.
Wku did it a few years ago but I am ready to see another.
