You think losing mpjr hurts them that bad? I had them picked around the same in the preseason, just wondering if thats why you dropped them that far.
Yea...which was lower than most had them, but admittedly probably a spot or 2 too high. However that was assuming with Porter, without I see them stumbling way back.
They were way overhyped even with porter. Way overhyped. That team was awful last year. I was gonna love watching them go 15-16 (7-11) but now they are gonna have an excuse for tanking.
I would think they'd be considered a supporting cast if it's a bad team we are referencing? Obviously there's no way to know, but I think if Missouri wins say 16 games that with Porter they likely would've been a 19-20 win team and on the bubble. JMO
Talking SEC not ACC and that Vandy team was an anomoly in more than one way. If you look at the last several years 11-7 is the cut line.
SEC has been projected to be as good if not better than ACC this season, so why is that dismissed?
And how was Vandy an anomaly...scheduled very hard and won enough games
Because of their record. What they did was not the norm.
You use them as an example ALL the time. But they are an exception not the norm.
I disagree...you typically don't have a top 5 SOS team only win say 17 games, everything made sense for Vandy to get in.
ACC had 2 9-9 conference teams get in the year before as well, so there's definitely a precedent that if you go .500 in a strong conference you could be considered.
