How can a team in a conference like the SEC win 24 games and not make the dance?**

Get screwed by vandy, syracuse, and Michigan getting in., syracuse 19-13 rpi in the 70s. What a joke
THIS MAKES ME SICK! Was there anything the SEC could have done to help us get into the dance but didn't? I doubt it but am looking for a place to lay the blame. Sad.
Had we beat everyone you think we should have we would have been. 31-1. We also beat teams we shouldn't have. AM , arkanss, and Mississippi on the road. The SEC was ranked the no 1 confrence for teams winning at home. It's ok to admit we deserved to get in.
Yeah, if you dumbass taters had won more it would have helped
Shut the F up. You mean like your pansy ass 108th ranked football schedule?!
Ditto. Sorry you play in a dumpster fire of a football conference and establish your self worth by coming on a USC web site and posting antagonistic drivel. Why don't you log on the little farm school's site and post there.
I can post on more than one site.
Only one being antagonistic here is you.
You are the one attacking others not me.
Actually, Clemson crapping the bed late in the year did hurt our schedule strength.
Disagree! Clempson continued to drag our RPI down and they were a part of our OOC. Point of the schedule is several of the teams we scheduled were projected to be good this year but did not pan out. We did not set out to schedule a weak OOC but we are being punished for it.
The committee uses out of conference schedules as the normalizing variable between leagues and teams. When you play one of the worst schedules in the country, you're eliminating a potential positive in your favor. As a result, all the committee has to go on is USC's conference record... Which was only decent in a bad conference. In other words, decent team in a bad conference. Unlikely to make the field.
Wrong. Reason most of these teams are in over us is TV markets. Easy for the committee to justify keeping any team in or out since the target moves every year for what they are looking for.
I'm not sure TV markets for individuals teams mean a whole lot in one of the most watched sporting events...in fact, I still think it is the most watched in college sports. Makes no sense.
That's absurd. This isn't the NBA finals or the World Series. The tournament is a huge money maker no matter who is playing.
The committee has been clear. OOC maters, because it helps them sort out conferences and teams.
How do you explain the target metrics being different year to year and even team to team?
I get what Nova and others are saying, but it still makes no sense that Vandy and Tulsa got in using the same logic.
That's my point they use different metrics to justify different decisions depending on team or year.
SEC conference as a whole is not even close to the ACC, Big 10 and PAC 12. Then we lost 8 games in that conference, not rocket science to me.
So how do you explain the "rocket science" of Vandy? Same conference record and we beat them head to head.
How were they looking at the end compared to how we were looking? This wasn't about December and January; it was about late February and early March.
Lost to Tennessee in the first round of the tournament. Come on man!
They laid a huge egg in the Tourney, no doubt. But they were playing well for several weeks before that. I guess that combined with a tough OOC schedule was enough.
i thought one of the committee members on espn said had something to do with top 50 wins....not sure
You mean the one where we beat every single team by double digits except tournament team Tulsa by 8 on a neutral court and by 6 at Clemson?
