We'll find out soon enough when he gets a job at a real school (again).

It's true. Even if they win the whole darn thing, it doesn't change the fact that they should never have been included. Just like Ole Miss in the 2022 CWS. They didn't deserve the bid, regardless of how it played out. You HAVE to make the regular season mean something. Rewarding failure is now part of our culture though.
Auburn and TN have coaches that you don't really want to back in the NCAAT.

Parlays are for suckers.

re: Realistic Final 4 Predictions

I have 4 brackets. My favorite one has the following:

Michigan State
Florida
Duke
Houston

With Florida over Houston in the finals. Way too much chalk, I know, but it's so hard to pick against it this year when the top 8 or 10 teams seem to be so much better than the rest.

Not at 6-12. 7-11 is borderline but 8-10 should be enough.


So, to rehash:

All four 8-10 teams got in, there were no teams that finished 7-11, and both 6-12 teams got in.

And the OP thought 9-9 was going to be questionable. :lol:

Wild season.

I missed that. Good to see you've come around.

I am about 90% confident that ANY 7-11 SEC team/s will get in this year. But we shall see.
I agree. ESPN shows State and Kentucky as locks. I think they are. I just know an 0-5 finish is the only way they could get to 7-11, and that would be a bad look. For the record, I believe there is 0% chance Kentucky goes 0-5. Probably State too, but we've all seen them do some weird things.

My main point is that I think at least one 7-11 team gets in, and this metalreb dude said it was impossible.

No way a 7-11 record gets you in. No way.


Let's revisit this. I said that 9-9 was a lock, and essentially, so is 8-10. I said "the right team" could even get in at 7-11. You said no team could get in at 7-11.


Tell me that no one on this list makes it at 8-10 or 7-11.

Tennessee (8-5) #6 in the nation. 0-5 from here would put them 8-10.
Ole Miss (8-5) #24. Same as TN
Kentucky (7-6) #17. 0-5 puts them at 7-11
MSU (7-6) #21 Same as Kentucky
Vanderbilt (5-8). 3-2 or 2-3 puts them at 8-10 or 7-11
Texas (5-8) Same as Vandy
Arkansas (4-9) 4-1 or 3-2 puts us at 8-10 or 7-11
Georgia (4-9) same as us
LSU (3-10) 5-0 or 4-1 put them at 8-10 or 7-11
Oklahoma (3-10) same as LSU

Fwiw - TN, OM, KY, and MSU are noted as "locks" in the latest Bubble Watch. The next 4 on my list have "work to do", same for Oklahoma. LSU is 1% as a long shot.

I would posit that any of these teams are in at 7-11, except maybe Kentucky and MSU because that means they finish 0-5 down the stretch. Vanderbilt and Texas are questionable too, I guess, since they would have to finish 2-3. It really depends on which 2 they won. Otherwise, the teams are already a lock, or they would finish on a flurry of wins in the SEC to get to 7-11.

Certainly NONE of these teams are missing at 8-10. Some 9-9 teams will likely be seeded very high in the NCAAT.

Why did yall move from a decent sized dog to a big favorite? Was Ole Miss down starters?

Did they turn a 22 point 2nd half lead into a loss against their arch rival?
