Now rank the schools by number of forfeited and/or vacated wins.
Is this all games or just SEC games?

There are some VAST differences in OOC SOS.

I know OP is a troll but Alabama will finish higher than expected and compete to host.


So posting a composite ranking is a “troll”? Sorry I can’t force Baseball America and the others to insert bama into their rankings for your self esteem.
It’s amazing how low South Carolina has fallen in recent years.

8 teams from the Georgia-South Carolina-North Carolina-Virginia South Atlantic corridor are all in the Preseason Top 31 but no Gamecocks…. #3 GA Tech, #9 Coastal, #10 UNC, #13 UGA, #18 Virginia, #20 NC State, #27 Wake Forest, #31 ECU.
Adding together the preseason rankings for D1, Baseball America, Perfect Game, and USA Today…

1. LSU
2. UCLA
3. Georgia Tech
4. Mississippi State
5. Texas
6. Arkansas
7. Auburn

8. TCU
9. Coastal Carolina
10. North Carolina
11. Tennessee
12. Oregon State
13. Georgia
14. Florida State
15. Louisville
16. Florida
17. Clemson
18. Virginia
19. Vanderbilt
20. NC State
21. Southern Miss
22. Oregon
23. Miami
24. Ole Miss
25. Kentucky

26. Oklahoma
27. Wake Forest
28. UC Santa Barbara
28. West Virginia
30. Arizona
31. East Carolina
32. Texas A&M

Alabama, Missouri, and South Carolina were the only three teams not to appear in any of those four preseason polls.
Using Lunardi’s latest Bracketology:

7- Tennessee
5- Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, Vanderbilt
4- Alabama, Arkansas, Texas
3- Missouri, Texas A&M
2- Georgia
1- LSU, Ole Miss, Miss State
0- Oklahoma, South Carolina

Losses to teams outside the projected field:

4- Oklahoma, South Carolina
3- Miss State, Missouri
2- Florida, LSU, Texas
1- Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas A&M
0- Alabama, Arkansas, Vanderbilt

I feel like Georgia is flirting with the danger zone.
Alabama’s streak of being ranked in 42 consecutive poll releases has come to and end.

This marks the 4th such streak for an SEC team to come to and end this year.

A 90-week streak for Tennessee (2022-2026) came to and end this year. This stands as the 3rd longest streak in SEC basketball history.

A 47-week streak for Kentucky (2024-2026) came to ann end this year. This stands as the 15th longest streak in SEC basketball history.

A 42-week streak for Alabama (2024-2026) came to an end this year. This stands as the 18th longest streak in SEC basketball history.

A 41-week streak for Auburn (2024-2026) came to an end this year. This stands as the 20th longest streak in SEC basketball history.

The longest active streak in the SEC belongs to Arkansas (14 weeks) followed by Vanderbilt (10 weeks).

The lone bright spot for the Auburn and LSU basketball seasons so far... praying for Bama losses


Auburn is literally ahead of Bama in the SEC standings, and against our seven common opponents so far, Auburn is 3-4 and Bama is 2-5.

Also prayers up for Alabama, they just lost their daddy


And prayers for the Hog fans who are now seeing reality set in that he’ll never be their head coach.
@ #19 Florida: 77-100 Loss
@ #11 Vanderbilt: 90-96 Loss
vs #1 Arizona: 75-96 Loss
vs #12 Gonzaga: 85-95 Loss

0-4
Losing by an average of 15 points per contest.
Giving up 97 points per game.

Ouch. No wonder Nate Chokes felt he had to cheat.

The other day I pointed out that LSU has been to 3 more final fours than Bama and their response was to brag about regular season victories.


They always default back to that.

I have seen Tennessee go to the college football playoffs


LOL. Remind us how that went for you.

quote:

go to back-to-back elite 8s.


How many Final Fours?

quote:

All things Auburn has never done


How many football national titles do you have this century? How many SEC titles?

Since the beginning of the century (2000-2025):

Auburn football has one national title; played for two, has 3 SEC Championships, and has a 7-1 head-to-head record against Tennessee.

In basketball, both teams have five SEC Championships. Auburn has two Final Four runs to Tennessee’s zero.
quote:

That one final four last season is the only reason you feel superior


It really eats you up, doesn’t it?

quote:

And yet here you are, twelve hours in and still bitching about him.


Yes I’m pissed your jealous, desperate coach is trying to destroy college basketball, and I’m pissed your jealous inbred county judges are eaten up with hate for Auburn enough to assist him in the process. Some of us love college basketball and would never accept such blatant cheating just to try to catch up to a rival.

But like I said, yall are desperately jealous, so here we are.
quote:

Auburn didn’t cut down the nets at home last year


LOL! Congrats on stopping us from cutting down the nets at home but failing to stop us from cutting down the nets.

This is quite sad. Bama fans are now content with moral victories of getting to watch Auburn win SEC Championships on an opponent’s court. Congrats I guess.
quote:

Pearl went to his second final 4 in year 11 at Auburn. Oats has been there 6 years. Are you stupid?


Oats came to Bama a year after Bama played in a 2nd round game in the NCAA Tourney. Pearl came to Auburn when Auburn was in a 12-year drought of making the Tournament.

You’re an idiot if you think they inhereted similar situations, but then again you’re VFL67.

quote:

From 2020 to present day. The time they overlapped Oats has had more tournament success. Thats a fact.


How convenient to start the clock after a Final Four run for Auburn.

My God, is this how desperate Tennessee fans are now days? D riding bama in an effort to try to disparage Auburn. Wow how desperate yall have become.

quote:

the time you’ve invested in it


The 1 minute it took to type was absolutely grueling. You have no idea.

quote:

I look forward to seeing what shite you cook up when he whips baby Pearl like he did daddy Pearl.


So a 7-5 record is whipping? If even one of Bama’s two OT wins over Pearl had gone the other way, their head-to-head would be tied.

How about this: you celebrate your 7-5 head to head record and we’ll celebrate Pearl’s five seasons to win an SEC Title compared to Oats’ two, and we’ll celebrate Pearl’s two Final Fours to Oats’ one lucky run.

This is the difference between Auburn and Alabama basketball fans now. Auburn fans are focused on Championships and Final Fours. Bama fans are focused on beating Auburn.
quote:

Based on your own post, you proved your #1 and #2 points as irrevocably false and lies


The writing was on the wall buddy. Bama knew Auburn was in the midst of an historic run, and they panicked and fired their coach.

It’s just like this year. The writing was on the wall that Bama was incapable of winning big games, so Oats be-clowned himself by having to blatantly cheat in order to try to salvage the season.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. It’s literally the motto of Alabama basketball.
quote:

He has the same amount of elite 8s, and one less final four, but has coached 5 fewer years.


So fewer Final Fours. My point exactly. You of all people should know how hard it is to make an NCAA Tourney run that deep considering Tennessee has never accomplished such a thing in its entire history. LOL.

quote:

Only Tennessee and Florida can talk shite about Oats tbh


Pointing out facts about Oats’s piss pour NCAA tournament resume isn’t talking shite. It’s literally just listing facts.

Another fact for you: Auburn has won 8 of its last 12 games against the Vols. Sounds like by your own definition, you should shut the F up about Auburn because we’ve absolutely owned you for the past decade.

Tennessee fans are butthurt because Pearl was able to have more success at Auburn than what their program was able to allow him to do. Tennessee is and will always be a program who can’t make it deep in the NCAA Tournament.
quote:

It really eats at Auburn fans that Nate Oats is a better coach than Bruce Pearl ever was.


LOL. Sure. Nate Oats excels at beating the tar out of crappy opponents but then mostly shits the bed against quality teams. Check out his record in the NCAA Tournament.

Nate Oats NCAA Tournament games by Opponents’ Seed:

1-seed Duke (2025)- Loss
1-seed Connecticut (2024)- Loss
1-seed N Carolina (2024)- Win
5-seed San Diego State (2023)- Loss
6-seed Clemson (2024)- Win
6-seed BYU (2025)- Win
7-seed St Mary’s (2025)- Win
8-seed Maryland (2023)- Win
10-seed Maryland (2021)- Win
11-seed UCLA (2021)- Loss
11-seed Notre Dame (2022)- Loss
12-seed Grand Canyon (2024)- Win
13-seed Charleston (2024)- Win
15-seed Iona (2021)- Win
15-seed Robert Morris (2025)- Win
16-seed Texas A&M Corpus Christi (2023)- Win

In five seasons, Oats has a grand total of ONE win in the NCAA Tournament against a seed of 1-5. He’s 1-3 against those higher rated seeds. He has more losses to 11-seeds than he does wins over seeds 1-5.

The fact he’s only faced 4 opponents with a seed higher than 6 is laughable. What are the odds of getting such a favorable path every time yet he still has so little to show for.

He’s just not a coach who can make deep tournament runs unless he has an extremely easy path.

Compare that to Bruce. Pearl was 5-4 against teams seeded 1-5 in the NCAA Tournament and had just one loss to a team seeded 11 or lower.

Pearl and his two Final Fours had a MUCH more impressive tournament resume compared to Nate Chokes.
quote:

You do realize Alabama fired Avery before the Barn had even played their first round tourney game that year right?


Not true. And it was obvious to Bama what was happening. Exact timeline:

2/27/19: Auburn beats Georgia
3/2/19: Auburn beats Miss St
3/5/19: Auburn beats Bama at Bama
3/9/19: Auburn beats #5 Tennessee
3/14/19: Auburn beats Mizzou in SECT
3/15/19: Auburn beats S Carolina in SECT
3/16/19: Auburn beats Florida in SECT
3/17/19: Auburn beats #8 Tennessee; wins SEC Tournament Championship
3/21/19: Auburn beats New Mexico State in 1st Round of NCAAT
3/23/19: Auburn beats #17 Kansas in 2nd Round of NCAAT
3/24/19: Alabama fires Avery Johnson
3/29/19: Auburn beats #3 N Carolina in Sweet 16 of NCAAT
3/31/19: Auburn beats #7 Kentucky in Elite 8 of NCAAT

The writing was on the wall with this team. I’m sure Auburn winning 10 straight games, sweeping Bama, winning an SEC Title for a second season in a row, and demolishing blue blood Kansas the night before had absolutely no factor in Bama firing Avery Johnson.

1. Auburn goes to the Final Four.
2. Bama panics and fires Avery Johnson.. replaced him with Nate Oates
3. Bama desperately tries to catch Auburn and lucks their way into a Final Four of its own by virtue of beating only one opponent seeded as a 1-5 seed during the entire path.
4. Auburn makes its second Final Four in 7 seasons.
5. Oates realizes his 2026 team is incapable of making it past the first weekend so he cheats and uses a local judge to destroy all norms of the sport.
6. Bama plays a player who signed away his eligibility when signing an NBA contract in an attempt to keep up with Auburn.
7. Floodgates are opened and more NBA players begin trying to come back to college within a week.

Jealousy ultimately caused the downfall of the sport. Bama just couldn’t handle it, so they had to destroy it.
