The bottom line is pretty similar for both teams, but Arkansas did get one level deeper in the playoffs--perhaps it was due, in part, to catching a break on the super regional location, but breaks are what you make of them. Just looking at one season in a vacuum, I don't know how you couldn't pick making Omaha over coming up just short.
The one caveat to that conclusion would be that, not all Omaha season are alike. Look at a school like Texas Tech, that was basically gifted a trip to Omaha last year. They are back wallowing in mediocrity this year. I wouldn't compare their Omaha qualification last year to Arkanasas' this year (the Hogs are legit), but there are times when making it to Omaha is more a matter of luck than accomplishment.

I agree, but that's just part of the game in all sports. We got shafted last year, so karma made up for it.
