It is not as bad as going to No. 2 Florida, as most projections had us at.  But why not in a regional of the No. 10-11-12, etc.?  Because of no respect for our conference; eight SEC teams host and only ONE West Coast team hosts?

 

Our first opponent, Xavier, is a team Oregon played at the beginning of the season and swept them four games at PK Park...

 

Excited to see how far this team can make it. Go Ducks!

Boy the West Coast was hosed!  No Arizona State, no USC, UCLA...only five Pac-12 teams made it?  The State of Oregon did well, but we all got hosed.

 

UC Irvine went 8-1 versus the Pac-12 and was left out?  EVERYBODY on the show admitted that the major metric used...the RPI, is highly flawed and needs to be changed as NCAA Basketball did with the new NET rankings.

 

All-Time Hit Leader Tanner Smith returned for his

senior season and deserved better...

At least there will be great Barbecue and fine country music. 

 

Nonrevenue sports and on occasion, basketball is how Vandy justifies its presence in the SEC. 

 

That and lofty SAT scores which is not often the case in the SEC.

 

However, Florida, A+M along with Vandy and a few others are AAU members, 5 in total I believe going to 6 when Texas arrives.

 

Georgia has very sound economics.

 

Of course, the SEC garners far more football trophies than the Ivy League and the Pac Whatever.
