We are a top 8 seed regardless of tomorrow's outcome.
Whether you think we are a lock or not, I have no idea how Tennessee is viewed as several spots ahead of us in the pecking order by some (as the resume’s currently stand at least). Identical conference records and we are slightly better in RPI, SOS, and in wins against the Top 25. If we beat them head to head tomorrow it shouldn’t really be up for debate as far as us being a higher seed.
If our pitchers pitch better on the road (obviously except for today!) wouldn’t the NCAA be doing us a HUGE favor if we get a 9 seed or lower and go to a super somewhere?
Of course I’d much rather have the super at home, but it was just something I was thinking earlier today
We are a lock. We aren’t falling out of the national seed by loosing to FL or TN.
My concern and my opinion, you?ve got a Notre Dame team some have in the top 8 that has no business being there. We?ve seen the selection committee in the past screw over a team from a warmer climate to put in a winter wonderland school for the sake of ?balance?.
The ncaa needs to die.
I think we drop out of the top 8 tomorrow if we don't win. I don't know the real situation with our pitchers today but I think you throw your best available pitcher/s on the first day of ANY tournament. This tournament is NOT meaningless.
Aaannnd post game. Todd Walker. Tennessee has nothing to worry about. They?re hosting the whole way through.
It?s not paranoia if it happens again and again
And again.
At some point, you?d think somebody in leadership would figure that out.
Y?all can piss on Tate all you want, he removed all excuses. And yes, I do know him. All the way back to 1998 and Brian Hazelwood.
You never take anything for granted
Those guys have less inside info than Gene. We aren't losing a top 8 spot because we threw our trash pitching vs FL ace. The only thing this tournament changes is if someone unexpected wins and gets in or FL can reach the 8 spot. We're the 5/6 spot. We aren't falling out. TN is already in too. Nothing changes.
I think today is a must win. As of this a.m. our RPI has dropped to 7th. Notre Dame is 9th and UT is 10th. The media loves ND too. We've got to win at least one today for me to feel secure.
Why do some of you keep expecting the announcer to kiss State's ass while the Dawgs are dropping turds.
Those ****ers don't know shit. The SEC network sucks dicks. If it wasn't for football games I would get rid of my sports package. They are just like all media. They treat us like mushrooms.
I mean, that same bunch just talked about how FL destroyed the best staff in the SEC. Nevermind we threw the guys of this staff that barely throw. They're paid to create stories and drama.
If we?re at risk of losing a Top 8 seed then Tennessee is too. The talk of UT being a lock and us being on the bubble makes no sense when you compare the metrics of the two teams.
