What's a BulldGod?

Rutgers over Texas A&M. BS. A&M was higher rated in the net by 30. Conference tournaments don’t matter at all.

And Wisconsin over us

Michigan over Texas A&M made zero sense.

Definitely got screwed over.

If your Coach punches another Coach, it gets you extra points with the committee

 

[VolsSportsFan]

It won't matter but I'll root for TAMU in the NIT.

ESPN people are gutless and won’t say it but at least CBS had someone that did.
“No statistical, viable reason or defense to have Tennessee as a 3-seed in this tournament.”

Not a conspiracy. I think this is what happened.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

That dude talked for almost 2 minutes and said absolutely nothing. He should be a politician with all that dancing he did.

 

[Smokey123]

If Tennessee had Duke resumes this season playing in the worst P5 conference we’d be a 5 seed. If Duke had ours they’d be a 1 seed

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Two minutes and twenty seconds of absolutely no discernible explanation. Just babbling about "metrics".

The bottom line is that the resumè didn't matter as much as the school name next to the resumè. Obviously nobody will say that out loud, but that's reality. With all of that being said, we're a 3 seed. It is what it is. Let's go take care of business.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

He keeps saying "tied for second" as a knock against us.....except who were were tied with Joe?

 

[GhostVol]

What I heard.....

"But, but, but... <stammer> Super Secret Squirrel Metrics <stutter> But let me finish! <stutter> It just wasn't gonna happen"

[DC_Vol]

He made the reasoning very clear…said it out loud: “You can argue resume all day long…but I knew the committee would not put them (Tennessee) ahead of Duke, certainly.” Like this is something that just would never happen, and everyone knows it.

That’s all you need to know. Brand and storylines carry more weight than resume when it comes to seeding decisions.

 

[golfballs]

This is incredibly embarrassing.

 

[Vol49er]

My Lord. I don’t think a sports video has upset me more than that one.
Asked why Kentucky and Auburn are ahead of us. Says we “certainly” weren’t gonna be put ahead of Nova or Duke, teams not asked about, without giving a single reason. Even says in regards to Duke “you can argue resume all day but”. What?! WHAT ELSE IS THERE THAT MATTERS TO SEEDING THAN RESUME?!?!
Then when asked again about Auburn and Duke, claims metrics have them above us, which is a. Not true, at least in auburns case and b. Should mean we’re ahead of Duke!!

Also again emphasized again we were tied for second in the SEC. So was Kentucky!!! And Auburn played the other top four teams once each!

 

[walkenvol]

Michigan worries me.

Why?

 

[TomcatVolFan]

Would love to see Kentucky get knocked out by Murray State in the second round. That would make all those kitty cat fans heads explode. hehehe

 

[walkenvol]

They’re trash. I’ve watched them all year. Howard is a clown.

I seriously wonder if they can win their first round game

 

[golfballs]

Michigan ranks higher in KenPom than Wisconsin does. And the committee had Wisconsin over us in overall seed

 

[DC_Vol]

Michigan worries me.

Every team in March should worry us. But if there is a team that almost everyone would agree doesn’t belong in the tournament, it’s Michigan with their 14 losses.

I’d be surprised if the team even got together to hear if they were selected.

 

[golfballs]

What will it be like in that second session? How many vol fans will secure tickets with Kentucky being in the same session? Michigan is closer to Indy than most people in Tennessee are.
