SEC locks: Georgia
Wow. It is still crazy that a team that loses to Auburn and twice to South Carolina (with a slight possibility of a third time in the tournament) is a lock for the NCAA tournament.

Probably another alter, but we all know you pigs would do horrible, dirty things to "underachieve" like LSU has over the years

Sounds like a good moral victory to add to the imaginary trophy case

Ah, the classic SC logic rears it's head again. "We beat Georgia, so they shouldn't get any credit for anything!!!!!!"
I know (or think at least) you're not a child so this shouldn't have to be spelled out for you, but I'll try. College basketball has 30 whole games in a season. Teams that don't win their conference get selected for the tournament (big event where teams all play each other) based on the merit of their whole season. You don't just look at 3 games, you look at all 30 of them. Crazy, I know! But alas, that's the system, and it's all we've got.
So, if you look at UGA's season in total, you'll see that in addition to some bad losses against BAD teams (like SC), we also have some pretty solid wins as well, many of which were on the road. Our SOS and RPI are favorable as well.
So in the end, it's really not hard at all to see why we're a lock.

LSU may have the second best talent in the SEC, but since everything but corn dog grease underachieveds in Baton Rouge
I think it's safe to say you are an underachiever as it relates to mastering basic spelling.
What does that say about a team that has not been to a final four in 20 years and claims to be a basketball school? LSU beat you with its best player on the bench and still made your team look slow and confused at home on senior day with your fat football coach sweating all over that ridiculous golden boot trophy you hillbillies are so proud of. LULZ at you.

You can't explain it other than to point out that their football coach is most famous for eating grass.
Your football coach is most famous for being a big, sloppy, sweaty, pulled-pork eating slob who will be remembered as the coach that was the major architect of one of the longest losing streaks in SEC history.
Your basketball coach is overrated and it was hilarious watching him try to out-athlete a team that always has more athletes than Arkansas in any sport.
After 20+ years in the SEC, you dumb hillbillies should know that you will only beat LSU when you catch us sleeping on the bottom-feeders of the conference.

not true at all. It definitely would be prudent for us to win and if we dont we might not make it. But it's certainly not a must win.

Wow, you just blew my mind. Seriously, I had no idea about this. I had no idea that basketball seasons were that long. I mean, wow. Thanks for the insight.

That's awesome, but it's not like the Selection Committee REALLY takes into account what he thinks.
Lunardi is very very well connected and usually, at most, misses 1 or 2 teams each year that make the tourney he had out. He likely has us so high because he's been told, as have several others, we're in for sure at this point because we have a padded resume of good wins with two huge road win highlights. That is exactly the kind of stuff the tourney selection committee looks for. The only team that soundly beat us all season we also destroyed at their place so we have that working for us too (and they are not in the tournament).

No problem! Hopefully in the future you'll remember this, and be able to figure out how teams can make the postseason despite a bad loss or two.

how did you derive that from the article? LSU is pretty much in unless we have something terribly unfortunate happen. With the win at Arkansas there isn't "work left to do" to get in.

Well I'm not an idiot, so I already knew. But thanks for the explanation. I'm sure you felt like a total internet badass after that post.

Maybe it just slipped your mind then.

Could be wrong though.

btw Lunardi's 3/10 bracket it out. I didnt look at it that closely but i dont think there was much movement from yesterday.
