Your automatic placement of Alabama behind Tennessee when they are almost exactly identical except for the fact that Alabama leads Tennessee in head to head just shows that you have a clear purpose to your points.

Tennessee has the same amount of Elite 8s, less Sweet 16s and more overall appearances. Using your criteria Alabama has had better postseason success than them (more combined Sweet 16+Elite 8) and yet they are ranked ahead of Alabama. There is only one reason you would do that.

No, I already stated the gap between them was razor-thin. But because Tennessee has one more appearance in the Tournament... to go along with the same number of Elite 8 and Sweet 16 appearance, one has to give the nod to the Vols.

It's close either way. If being able to claim the #6 spot over the #7 spot will help your self-confidence, I'll give you the #6 spot as charity.

I NOW PROCLAIM ALABAMA TO BE THE #6 TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF A WEAK BASKETBALL LEAGUE. ALL HAIL THE #6 PROGRAM IN THE SEC AND THE #60 PROGRAM NATIONALLY!!!!!

Does this make you feel better?

Actually Bama had to forfeit their 1987 tournament wins... so that brings Bama and Tennessee equal in Elite 8 and Sweet 16 performances. Tennessee has one more overall tournament bid, which *USED* to cause me to rank them slightly ahead.

But due to the catastrophic state of the Alabama nation's self esteem, I have deemed Bama the gift of #6. Hopefully this will allow you bammers to sleep better tonight.
