Ummm... Nebraska- 4th in big ten/ should’ve been in tourney.
Baylor- Ranked in top 25 earlier.
Louisville- A 20 win team, pretty decent year. In no way does that come close to Miami Ohio football and you know it.

Also, those 3 are better than 30% of the 64 who went dancing
And it's meaningless compared to the trophy won by the NCAA champion. It's a second-tier achievement, hence...participation trophy. It's not the real tournament. It's a tournament for the teams that couldn't make the NCAAs. I don't disagree that you compete to win. But it's still a pretty meaningless trophy at the end of the tournament.
It's like banging the skank at the bar. You'll probably enjoy the ride, but you won't be bragging about it much. All you can do is say, "we should've been in the real tournament".
But to each their own. If it tingles your senses, then great. I just don't get anything out of it except something to watch on tv.

But none of them got into to real tourney, just like us. Don't try to pretend the NIT is even close to the NCAA, because it isn't. Again......it's good for this team.

Nebraska got screwed. And I’m not saying that, you said these teams are among Miami Ohio football, and I told you that was crazy.

And what?s your point, are you saying the 68 teams in the tournament are the best 68 teams in the country?

ETA that would be a joke of biblical proportions!
Jeez, what a stupid statement. There are too many automatic bids for nobodies for that to ever be true. The fact remains that best teams ARE in the Dance. They are NOT in the NIT.

Not stupid at all...the point is with the auto bids, a large number of teams that are better than those autos are left out. It’s stupid to assert that because a team didn’t make the tourney that they aren’t among the 68 best teams in the country.

You are arguing with yourself because I never made that statement.
Uh oh Cooter your trolly ways are getting you blasted Rebel charges now. Maybe you should just out your reasoning for trolling the board the last 3 months. Really don't feel like scouring through 1,900 posts to find the exact point of ******l breakage.
Did it ever occur to you that the word best isn't a number? It should have since it isn't a number. The best teams are in the Dance. So are some others. You are arguing with yourself.
