re: SEC is a Softball Conference

Gratz on the wins.
Sec Softball is untouchable at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if all the super regionals this year are on SEC turf.

Doesn’t LSU fb have the highest staff salary numbers?
Their are a fair amount of College Football Coaches that flat out make more money that Pro Coaches.
I would even say LSU was a leading cause of coach salary inflation for the last 2 decades.

SEC is fcked
Tennessee baseball head coach Tony Vitello is getting paid. Vitello and the University of Tennessee have reached a new agreement that makes him the highest paid coach in college baseball. Vitello’s new agreement is for $3 million annually on a five-year deal that runs through June 30, 2029.

On the money side of things, the UT Knoxville baseball program brought home $3,016,436 in revenue and paid out $6,250,169 in total expenses. Unfortunately, that means the program lost money, racking up a net loss of $-3,233,733.
Does this mean Tennessee Baseball is now losing somewhere around $4,500,000 a year now? WTF Vols
College baseball doesn't generate a lot of money.

He’s trying to make a point that she is fake as frick and not trustworthy.
I cannot wait for him to unleash on her and the media and democrats about hiding the fact that they all hid and lied to Americans for 3-1/2 years about Joe’s mental health.
If that's the point he was trying to make to general American public (Not the political talk), then he failed. In the last few day, Trump went from easy victory to a dog fight due to his own mouth.
I don't understand How this board tries to turn every misstep by Trump into some conspiracy. Trump should move on and focus on things that are important to the average American.

NCAA fricked this up in the mid 00s. They should have packaged their rights as one bundle and sold it NFL style, spread that money across conferences. Should have been 1 product. 07 was tGOAT season.

We are in this mess because of the very nature of college football itself. I'm not even sure how you even fix it, short of divorcing college football from the Universities.

re: Does a 9-3 Florida team make the College Football playoffs this year?

With the crazy hard schedules now the SEC and Big 10 should have pushed for a 3 team guarantee for those conferences. I guess they are pushing for 4 teams minimum in the 14 team talks. My guess is more than not a 3 loss Big 10 team or SEC team will go over a 2 loss ACC or Big 12 non champion though unless those teams have some real nice wins.
Looking at old week 14/15 rankings(Before the Conference Championships), the SEC and BIG 10 nearly always have 3 teams each in the top 12.
In 2018, 9-3 LSU/Florida was ranked above 10-2 Washington St.
In 2019, 9-3 Auburn was ranked above 10-2 Oregon/Notre Dame/Bama.
in 2023, 9-3 LSU was ranked above 10-2 Louisville.
The SEC doesn't need to worry about not having at least 3 spots reserved in the playoffs.

It probably won’t be the top 12 with 5 conference winners getting in, so let’s assume top 11.
With their schedule, UF would likely be the top rated 3 loss team so they would have been in 5 of 8 years. Add in the added degree of difficulty in the SEC/Big 10 and they would have a better than 50/50 chance of getting in.
I agree but conference realignment makes things a little unclear. Its entirely possible that 2 conference champions will be outside the top 12 some years. Once you move the bar up to top 10 the answer is nearly always no, regardless of schedule. In addition, a lot of the high ranked 3 loss teams were playing in a conference championship game. They either got the 3rd loss to the champion or upset the other team.
To maximize a 3 loss SEC team making the playoff, I think the conference as a whole needs to play more Big 10 teams and weaken its outlook in the eyes of the committee.
Most likely CFP Selections every year
SEC = 3 or 4
B10 = 3 or 4
ACC = 1 or 2
B12 = 1 or 2
Non P4 = 1
Florida gets in with 3 losses, if the Sec wins most of their big OOC matchups at the start of the season.
I think follow up question should be "Does a 10-3 Gator team get penalized for receiving its third loss in the SEC championship?"
In that scenario, its possible Florida could get screwed out of a playoff spot to another SEC team.

Thats correct, but I think the baseball dollars are only going to go up in terms of revenue, and if a lot of the other sports are cut it doesn't even really need to make that much
Vol baseball was already deep in the red.
If you really increase Vitello pay, your baseball program is going to have a bigger deficit than the budget of all but the top 25 teams in college baseball. I just find that a little strange to go that far.
Which school is going to Omaha(CWS) for the first time?
Posted by Socratics on 6/3/24 at 10:06 pm
Who do you believe in?
Honestly, I'm surprised Kentucky has never been to Omaha.
4) Evansville vs #1 Tennessee
3) Kansas State vs #12 Virginia
3) West Virginia vs #4 UNC
1) #2 Kentucky vs #15 Oregon st
I'm going with Kansas State and Kentucky
*Kentucky don't sleep on those beavers*

The only true upgrade from Tennessee is either Texas or LSU.
