Recruiting Football Talk VIII

If we win today and are still a 2 seed, it’s just proof that the committee makes the brackets Saturday night or even before then and just waits until Sunday afternoon to give the illusion that the conference tournaments matter

Sound like rationalizing, but I honestly prefer a second seed. Works better when this team has less to deserve imo. Second seeds sometimes have the best path.

I was getting my boat ready last night and I had a crazy neighbor who kept looking at us through his window while holding a bat. . . at least he had a UT shirt on.

All depends on which bracket. I don't care about 1 or 2 seed, I care about who the other 1, 2,3,4 seeds are.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

A 2 playing in Lexington is better than getting a 1 and having to go out West

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Buckle up. Baseball is a 9 inning season

Not when you run rule the gators by scoring 9 in the bottom of the 7th inning!

That Midwest bracket would be brutal. Really hope that's not how it shakes out.

 

[knoxvol52]

Do not miss that

Wish my ahole neighbor would quit starting and revving his damn boat.

So your neighbor was motorboating in public? That's sick.

I think we found @Enki_Amenra bat holding neighbor....

So you were motorboating in public and your sick voyeur neighbor was watching you? That's weird.

 

[jakez4ut]

I don't think the outcome of this game changes anything fort seeding.

But, just some perspective... This program is elite.

 

[jakez4ut]

They give the aq to the highest remaining seed in the conference tournament

Shhhhhhhhhj.

Everyone should know by now that the committee sets its brackets by Saturday night. So the Sunday SEC conference championship games are only for pride. The committee has to set not just the 1 and 2 seeds but the remainder of each opening round 4-some. To move any 1 or 2 seed up or down and to a different region this late would mean they would also need to move the other 3 teams in the 4-some or change all their seeds as well.

Lunardi knows this, that's why he said UT was locked in as a 2 seed after beating Auburn. I kind of prefer staying away from the West region anyway.

No they don’t. If we win, we are a 1 seed where they had Florida, and Florida moves to Houston’s bracket as a 2 seed. Vice versa if we lose. They only have to swap the actual 2 teams who play each other.

 

[SoilVol]

If what Lunardi says is true and the Vols have no chance to earn the 1-seed today - Danny White and Randy Boyd should seriously consider a lawsuit.

That sounds extreme, but there's financial loss to the university and athletes for not being in the premier seeding position that was earned. And they could argue that the seeding committee not considering the final games of the season is not a fair and just process.

To be the SEC tournament champs with back-to-back wins over 2/4 1-seeds ahead of them, while having a comparable resume, is not fair and just.

No they don’t. If we win, we are a 1 seed where they had Florida, and Florida moves to Houston’s bracket as a 2 seed. Vice versa if we lose. They only have to swap the actual 2 teams who play each other.

This^

Plus, how hard is it to have multiple brackets ready depending on the outcome of a single game.

Also, SEC, fix this sh*t. Change the tournament schedule. The women get like 2 weeks off between their tournament and the NCAA. The men get a couple days off. It's nuts.

 

[Rishvol]

At least GameDay is talking that winner should be a 1 seed

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Regarding seeding….I look at what matchups. Which one gives us the best opportunity to win it. 1,2,3,4 seed, I don't care.

I would like it to be close for travel purposes.

 

[Govolsman98]

I don't care what seed we are. We can beat anyone in the country

 

[Orange.]

On the baseball side,

 

[volsagain]

I just don't want the bracket that has a big that ever time you try to defend you get a foul called. Then on the other end let the big push you out of the way to take the rebound or go over your back. I do look for most SEC teams to stay in foul trouble with how aggressive they all are. GBO beat them stinky gaters baseball and basketball !!!
