I can't really fault Pearl for lobbying for Auburn and his son. CBS knew what they were doing and wanted to generate social media buzz.

Sorry Bruce. If State had held on and beat SMU on Black friday instead of blowing a double digit lead and losing in OT Auburn might've got the nod over the Ponies.

The committee chair's response was stupid, and enabled this whole argument.

I'm not saying Auburn should have got in but there was probably 3-5 teams left out that should have got in over Miami-OH. That is not a tournament team's resume and it isn't particular close to one.

Imagine dying on the hill that a team that lost 9 of their last 12 should be in the tourney
