It just goes to show you how misleading win/loss records can be when comparing the success of programs over long periods of time.

Absolutely
10 years of 7-5 is very different than 4 great years, 3 terrible ones and 3 mediocre ones.

Hmm, I honestly did not know that.

Its a lot easier to have a winning record in basketball. Thats why an SEC team that goes 16-15 in basketball has very little chance of going to a 68 team tournament, but a football that goes 7-5 in the SEC is not only guaranteed a bowl spot but is probably like the 30-35th best team in the country.
If football had a 68 team tournament, a 7-5 SEC team would be like an 8-seed.

I wouldn't say "a lot" easier, but there is a little more margin (depending on your OOC schedule).
Generally 3-4 SEC Football teams finish with losing records while 2-3 SEC Basketball teams finish with losing records.

All those winning seasons.
And not one appearance in a Final Four.

Pretty crazy that we’ve had fewer losing seasons than Bama over the past 50 years.

Here’s to hoping you get a lot more in both sports.
