They're crowning Miss State on the SEC network right now
"Our bracketologist tells us that Miss State is in," is what they are all saying, since they just beat Florida by one point in overtime.
Who can argue with that logic for a team that's now 9-10 in the league?

They speak about these bracketologists as if it’s a real thing.historybill wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 2:26 pm "Our bracketologist tells us that Miss State is in," is what they are all saying, since they just beat Florida by one point in overtime.

Re: They're crowning Miss State on the SEC network right now
we need to take care of business tonight (and most likely tomorrow night) and then our win against MSU last week might well come in very handy.
after falling prey to it, i've come to realize how much this backetology mumbo jumbo is all about getting eyes and products sold period full stop. It's about as helpful as listening to the "experts" on business shows talk about where stocks and interest rates are going.
off the soapbox, thank you.

Re: They're crowning Miss State on the SEC network right now
I kind of compare it to the nfl draft. Months worth of hypotheticals. A bracketologist is a nerd just like a draft expert. They might be right by default but they definitely miss a lot. The committee picks the teams just like the nfl franchise drafts a player. The “experts” have nothing to do with any of it. Teams have their own scouts for that and if these talking heads were actually right they would be employed by the ncaa or nfl. If any of us looked at numbers and had time to watch college highlights all year we could “predict” the field or make mock drafts.dore74 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 3:57 pm we need to take care of business tonight (and most likely tomorrow night) and then our win against MSU last week might well come in very handy.

Re: They're crowning Miss State on the SEC network right now
Honestly, I think Arkansas should be the target. They have gone so far as to suggest pulling for Kentucky should Vandy get the W tonight.

What HE said ^ ^
This year's Arky team leads the NCAA in underachieving.
Right, Vanderbuilder?

I have the sec network on tv in the background. Finebaum has a guy that covers Arkansas on right now that is saying Ark could be a final four team. There’s lunacy everywhere.MrMemorial wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 5:20 pmWhat HE said ^ ^

Sorry but we kicked their ass in the sec winning 3 more games than they have so far this is such bullshit. We should be in now.

Re: They're crowning Miss State on the SEC network right now
I think Auburn could be left out.
Yes, they best Tennessee, but Auburn is not alone in that respect.
How about 4-9 in last 13 games including a loss to Big 12 West Virginia?

Auburn is 9-10 vs. Quad1&2, with 3 Q1 wins.
Arkansas is 7-11 vs. Quad1&2 with 3 Q1 wins.
Miss St. is 7-10 vs. Quad1&2 with 4 Q1 wins.
Vandy is 9-10 vs. Quad1&2 with 4 Q1 wins.
Oh, and we finished with a better record in the SEC than all of those teams.
The more I think about it, the more I wonder ... why is this even a question?
You strip away the school names and the season long narrative, we should be obviously in at this point.
