    Isn?t the overall objective to get the best teams in the tournament? Wasn?t the SEC touted as the best conference in the nation all year, top to bottom? Didn?t we finish I. The top half of a 16 team league of which for 8 births? Are we not one of the top 8 SEC teams? The NCAA continues to change the criteria to make their selections. It?s just sad that a team who looked awful most of the SEC season and finished with the same record as we did in conference, gets in because they scheduled some high ranked teams OOC. Then Bama team got in with a worse conference record and a RPI 30 points better than us. We were two last second bad calls away from 11-7 and looked like a tourney team but get screwed because we beat everyone we were supposed to beat before conference play?

    We did not get screwed. Bama and A&M both had significantly better resumes. It is what it is.

    In the eyes of the committee we didn't beat everyone we were supposed to beat before conference play. We didn't beat anyone. Our OOC record was basically 0-13. 13 opportunities to show we are one of the best 30 teams in the country and we chose to not take advantage of that opportunity 13 times.
