Don't lose to UTEP and LA Tech and then I'd get worked up about this. But us dropping two of our last three games, we don't really deserve to be in the conversation.

Why create NET rankings if you're going to ignore it anyways?

Not even one of the FOUR play in games. No justification for that bullshit.   We just need to stack our OOC and play our way through conference. Nothing matters except the conference tournament.  At least by stacking our OOC we get experience playing the popular schools.

And to be clear, I don't think UH is the 3rd best team.  Just pointing out how useless the NET is

Then why have it though? If their NET is #3, have them be the 3 seed... otherwise just stick to polls if you're going to base it on opinion. They created a formula to try to remove bias only to not like the results of the formula and do what they want anyways. I wouldn't be upset if there was no RPI/NET to tell me we're better than other teams getting in.

You can't look at just the win/loss record.  Michigan has a really good NET, I figured they'd get in.

Clearly NET only means something if it needs to mean something. Therefore, it means nothing. A basketball team 3 games over .500 deserves and has earned the right to sit at home.

I mean, it sucks but you people are being over the top.  Every year the Committee makeup is slightly different, but they always view SOS very highly and when teams from the Big 10 and Big East or whoever get like 15 games to get quality wins it just makes it really tough for schools like us to get in as at large.  We basically have to be almost perfect like the year MTSU snuck in as an at-large.

Sure. But I think 18-12 type record should be minimum. 17-14 is just too little too late. Gives the wrong impression, sends the wrong message.

I'm not saying I LIKE it.  I just understand the reality.

Also getting an 11 seed with that record reeks of favoritism. Why aren't they a 14/15?

Of course. But even Bama getting in and ATM being left out is mind blowing. 19-13 vs 23-12 and both had 9-9 conference records while ATM made it to the finals in their tourney. I just feel like this is nothing but a larger scale CFB playoff, the committee can't wait to hose the little guy unless they're caught dead to rights with no other option.

According to many on this board this is the main event… lol

It is now.  Be thankful.  We have more games for you to ignore until we lose and then you can come on here and bitch.

Over the top?  No, the NET should mean something because that is supposedly why they created it.  Instead, it is a system to keep schools in the "smaller" conferences interested and excited about their opportunity.  Why have it if they are going to essentially ignore it just so Juwan Howard can punch someone else, or Rutgers can get their ass handed to them while collecting a check.

F-it.  Let's go win the NIT.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.

      A Big 10 vs SEC invitational College Football Playoff is of no interest to me. This will be the 2nd time Tennessee and Ohio State have played in their history. The Clemson vs Texas game will be their first matchup EVER. That to me highlights the absurdity of the out of conference scheduling for the bigger brand teams. And if Alabama went up to Penn State and got blown out exactly the same way nobody would mention it next year when they are in consideration for a wildcard spot with 2 (or maybe even 3) losses.
