I see what you're trying to do here, but you've failed miserably. You get into the Final Four by winning your way through multiple rounds of a 64-team tournament. You get into the CFP by being selected by a committee. I know you know this, and yet you're still trying to make them equivalent. If you're going to troll at least be good at it.

Nah. Best team in nation doesn’t lose by 20 in the regular season to non tourney teams. They did.

Yeah. His angle was really obvious (looks like he mostly tripped up LSU fans) but the troll was just really dumb and illogical.

Why have a Final Four if you're just going to annoint who gets to play in it?

This ain't silly football rules.

It’s a little jab at the Bama fans who were saying that their 2 regular season losses in football last year shouldn’t have been a factor in the playoff selection - they claimed that Bama should have been chosen as one of the four best teams.


Well this is true. Bama should have been chosen because they were one of the four best teams.

This isn't comparable to the NCAAT.

Well no. All the teams in the tournament have an equal opportunity. Alabama failed. Simple as that.

I disagree. Alabama would play FAU and UConn really tough, and would maybe even win against either. Would SDSU do the same? Not so much. On those grounds, Bama should be in the final four.

Not taking care of business is the ENTIRE point.

Other people did too. And as for Bama, they embraced the thug lifestyle by making a joke of it. Nate should be fired and an investigation should continue. I don’t hate Alabama, but I hate the program Nate has created, and I had the fact that a person died at the hands of their players without complete punishment.

I got one question for you and be honest. There will be a trial.

If one or both of the accused walks, will you be here to say you were wrong? Because I damn sure have been here through this shite storm.

San Diego State isnt even a real state.


2019 Auburn was the last SEC team to reach the final four. They are the standard.

Thanks for making sense of this.

LSU crapped the bed this year, badly. At the end of the day matchups still mean everything come tourney time. These are not four scrub teams in the FF, if you watched them play they each present those matchup nightmares referred to above.

Bottom line, this is healthy for college sports, a level playing field. NIL money has changed all of this, especially in the one-and-done sports because it spreads out the exceptional athletes and accomplishes parity.

This sounds like the CFB Playoff argument.

This doesn’t make sense. We got beat by SCDU. They earned the right to move on with the win. We earned the right to go home with a loss. To the winner goes the spoils. All you have to do is be the better team that particular day.




You are missing the OP's point. This was the argument some Alabama fans made regarding the college football playoffs.

They passed the Eye Test. We should have just had a tournament with the 4 number 1 seeds playing 7 game series. (Sarcasm)

The NCAA BBall NC is won on the field, not by a bunch of voters.

Best team in the SEC this year, not winning the madness this year unfortunately.

Great year for the tournament, a 4 is the highest seed, that’s nuts.

Sorta rooting for FAU at this point, they’d I think be the highest ranked seed to ever win it all

You nailed it. It’s not about hating Bama. It’s hating the atmosphere that has sprung up there. Condoning slugging sorority girls and allowing an accomplice to murder continue to wear their uniform. All to win a sugar bowl game and a sweet 16 appearance. Seems a very high price to pay for so little
