Would you rather your team make the final 4 or win a college baseball natty?

Anyone who says anything other than final 4 is lying to themselves. I love having a baseball natty but I would trade a baseball natty and agree to never winning another game for the rest of my life if it meant getting a final 4.

A championship every time.

Agree. I really don’t understand the comparison. A guaranteed national title or you’re a guaranteed participant, but not guaranteed a title. I’ll take the guaranteed title every time.

Maybe im biased. I dont think Tennessee will ever make a final 4

If you’re in the Final Four, you have a shot to win.

I don't think this is an either/or question. I love talking shite about UTK's lack of a Final Four, but for the last several years they've had a competitive basketball team and baseball team.

Georgia hasn't had a Final Four in forever or a baseball natty in a long time so I would be thrilled with either. Florida fans are probably the best fanbase to answer this question since they have won both in a tight window.

Ranking

1) football championship
2) basketball championship
3) baseball championship








4) all other outcomes across the rest of the sports

The responses here seem strictly based on if you're a fan of the particular sport or not. (Which makes sense.)

I grew up watching MLB, but stopped after one of the pro strikes way back when.

That being said, winning a college baseball natty would be the equivalent of a winning an ice hockey or wheelchair basketball championship trophy to me, so I'd go with the Final Four.

And I don't mean that as a slight, I just don't ever think about it, much like most here probably don't care about basketball.

I care way too much about basketball. I'm not a FOG.

Well, duh. I don't think any honest person would disagree with you there, except probably putting more space between 2 and 3. But that's not what the OP asked.

That said, responders to this thread are responding to different questions. OP asked to choose between:

(A) Final Four with chance to win title
(B) guaranteed baseball title.

It's actually a good way to frame it as you have to account for probability that your team goes on to win the basketball title.

I decided to respond to VFL's interpretation which was simply: Final Four vs baseball title. Every year about this time, I marvel at how fetishized the entirely arbitrary Final Four has become. It’s just the semifinals, I guess with a nifty name? If the tournament expanded to 128 teams with 8 regions, would we start fetishizing the Elite Eight—or still obsess over the Final Four? It’s a weird, arbitrary line to place so much stock in.

Ok, rant off.

Already have a baseball natty, give me a FF
