The committee just simply cannot get past pairing us with the dumpster fire.
Florida /Florida St.
Louisville/Vandy
Clemson/South Carolina
But they skipped ULL/LSU. They make no sense.
quote:I think so. Looking at the regionals, Coastal Carolina was probably the team with the biggest gripe. They were RPI 12 with slightly better non con metrics. But as Sean pointed out last night that's 4 regionals in the Carolinas in a small area. TCU made it to spread things out a bit and help with travel.
So with tcu winning the big xii they host a regional, would they have losing that game?

The unfair part is Tech as a national seed not our 4.

I know most of the time chalk won't hold but having the two best teams in the country on the same side of the CWS bracket sucks. I would have liked to see us and Florida 1 and 2. Either order.
quote:Yeah. It's a dumb system. They just do whatever they want and justify it with some random measurement every year. Like one poster said above, last year #6 rpi wasn't good enough for national seed but this year #14 is. It's so much like something the government would run it gives me the creeps.quote:

But you knew that wasn't going to happen because the committee did just about everything (tech&msu the exception) to make it so two teams from the same conference wouldn't be in the final.
quote:Yep.
Anyone else see that graphic of regional hosts showing Kentucky and Tennessee in the place of Vandy and Louisville? That's pretty sloppy work by ESPN.
quote:Tech was getting a NS all the time. And UNC didn't make the ACC tourney. If yo don't make your own you don't make the big one seems to be the answer.
Probably already mentioned, but if the top 4 seeds were picked in RPI order, how do they drop all the way to #14 to get their 5th seed, and then leave RPI 19 out of the tournament?

And again the fascination with pairing A&M up with a BDF opponent. Every selection/bowl committee seems hell bent on making that happen. Like the whole freakin country is on pins and needles dying to see that old rivalry renewed.
Whatever. I hope purple tard DOES wind up in our house. Like it should've been last year. Payback will be sweet

Show me one metric that tech has over MSU, Clemson, or LSU?

Selection committee basically saying conference tourney doesn't mean ****
quote:They pair us with a big 12 opponent in every sport. It's not all based on proximity. They even paired us in the opening round of the CWS with a big 12 opponent, where proximity doesn't have anything to do with it. This isn't a coincidence either.quote:

Get used to it as contrary to popular opinion we are still in Texas.
