He's not wrong. A good sign, or a jinx?

Right now, the shoe fits but we'll see what this team is made of as the conference schedule grind progresses.

We just got to stay FOCUSED and keep winning and let the chips fall where they may.

I'd rather be a 3 seed with a smaller target on our back.

If you can get a 1 seed you take it and run with it.

Why?

Do they let you play fewer games as a 1 seed?

Don’t be obtuse. You know the advantages of being a one seed.

Why does our bracket say Birmingham and Houston in the west say the same?

A 1 seed is 4x more likely to win the championship than the next-best seed, according to Betfirm.

Now, is that because the 1’s are usually better, or is it because they get a slightly easier path?

(That Betfirm link is to a pretty good article with tables showing the history of each seed in the tourney. Great stuff.)

Why are most of us Bama Ball fans so neurotic? People can say good things about our team without it being a jinx.

There are four games day one of Bham. Teams likely from different brackets (eg, 4 from the East and four from the west or south). Then Sat will have one game from each bracket.

Yeah getting a one seed this year would be extra cool since we would get to play some of our games in Birmingham.

Well, I could have asked "is it a good sign, or will our team start following the media build up, become over confident, start to take teams for granted, and get upset in the tournament ", but thay would have been too many fricking words to read, so I just said "jinx".

So we are in the top 5 and you're asking if all of the sudden we are gonna fall off because people have us as a 1 seed? I doubt it. Lunardi has had us as a one seed for a couple of weeks now.

Looks like we came out ready to play today.

Birmingham isn’t our favorite place to play. But in all seriousness, the home crowd advantage would be awesome!

maybe he thinks there is only one of each seed? There are 4 of each seed. I might agree that I would rather be the 3rd 1 seed instead of the number 1 overall seed, but really wouldn't matter I would be happy with any 1 seed.
