While OU hasn't played well within the conference, they have wins over Michigan, Arizona, and Louisville. All top 25 NET teams. That's is what they are hanging their hat on and shows you how strong the SEC is.

All three of those teams would smoke Oklahoma rite now. Beating a team in November and riding it into the tournament is how pathetic the tournament is now. There's Mid Major teams that won't make tournament that could beat Oklahoma..

Should hats have a flat bill, slightly bent or put a baseball in the bill and wrap about 5 rubberbands around it for a week?

Bent, by hand over the course of the first several wears. No baseball needed. Flat bill is no beuno.

Houston's 4 losses: #1 Auburn, #7 Alabama, San Diego St., #9 Texas Tech.

Ranked wins (current): #9 Texas Tech, #10 Iowa State, #24 Arizona, #23 BYU

Tennessee's 5 losses: #19 Kentucky (2), (ORV) Vandy, #1 Auburn, #5 Florida

Ranked wins: #7 Alabama, #5 Florida, #22 Texas A&M, #15 Mizzou, #25 Miss State, #14 Louisville

San Diego State isn't even the best MCBB team in San Diego

I think the Vols absolutely have the better resume than Houston. Houston went 0-2 against the SEC.

Idea: Vols win out and beat Auburn in the SEC Championship.

Final ranking: 1 Duke, 2 Vols, 3 Auburn, 4 Houston?

Doesn't really matter because it's the body of work. That is just all speculation. Just like the CFP, it has to be done on the field or court.

I'll be the first to admit, I don't like the thought of guys being able to go 2 years juco then 4 years at a D1 school...

However, I fail to see how this is any different from what Pavia did and got ruled eligible for?

 

[SoilVol]

I'm confused.... how is this any different from Pavia's case? Court ruled Pavia could play, why can't Osuna?

The Vols also have the better resume than Florida regardless of what Florida does. Schedule matters.

I tend to agree, but basketball seems to get around it with prep schools. I think it basically turns jucos into prep schools from an eligibility perspective.

That body of work will look great when Oklahoma loses last 2 conference games and ends up 17-14 (4-14) in conference and losing to a bottom feeder team at Home . Lost to a crappy LSU team at HOME ... Boomer Sooner ...

Was Sprite ever sold in a green bottle?

 

[Rishvol]

The difference is Pavia a football player who had the backing of ESPN these baseball players don't

Up until 2022 I think. Part of Cokes initiative to "go green" funny enough. Apparently the green PET is more harmful than the clear bottles.

So is that mid-major Xavier, who is 1-9 in Q1 games. Or Boise State who is 3-5 in Q1 games and 4-2 in Q3 games. If there were better teams to compare, then they would get in over OU.

It’s amazing that it was only 120 odd years ago two brothers announced they could fly…..


They were Wright

I know for a fact it was sold in green glass bottles because I remember shooting them with my bb gun when I was a kid.
