Somebody on another board is bitching about our net ranking being 39..

Ranting on how we just can't keep playing easy ooc games going forward etc

He's such a dumbass..this year we needed wins to gel and get ready for sec play.

Winning cures all..

This same guy next year will probably be happier if we play harder teams and lose games.

I'd much rather win and gel then lose..at sc we arent good enough too have our cake and eat it too..

I agree with a majority of what you said about winning and geling .

that said, I am a fan of playing the metrics that get us in the tournament. Our previous regime thought it best to play cupcakes, mix up lineups, lose one or a few of those games and then bitch at the end of the season. it was exhausting.


Id love to see us play some premier matchups, even if it means our resume looks like auburns with 0 quad 1 wins. They are securely in. I remember us playing at Kansas probably 20 years ago. a 4 point loss, but it was a hell of a game.
