You seem like. Reasonable and logical LSU which form the last couple days I have seen those are few and far in between. Any team has a fighting chance for sure especially LSU. But let’s not act like this is the same LSU team of the past. I have a feeling if y’all’s coach wouldn’t have announced he’s retiring at seasons end y’all wouldn’t have gotten in. The committee wanted to send a legend out and give him one last chance. Having a 12-17 conference record and day exit from SEC tourney is hardly enough to deserve a chance.

LSU was 13-17 in the SEC and had ~25 RPI. They weren't even one of the last 5 in. Several at-large teams got bids with worse resumes than LSU had. It being far below program expectations is a little different than the committee doing LSU a favor by giving them a bid due to Mainier's pending retirement. Every publication had LSU in before selection day, despite how the season went, and before Mainieri announced he was retiring.

When did I do that? Any team that wins a regional is capable of winning 2/3 games in a super regional.
