UGA over Mizzou's affect on UT

[Dougie_D]

I'll be rooting against them

If they lose next 2 they would be 7-10 in SEC and with a win over us already.

I'm not sure how the Mizzou/TN would be that big of deal for us then.

IMO, we need worry more about LSU and Arkansas not winning ANY more of their games for that scenario to work.

I'm not sure what it is exactly you're saying?

I agree about LSU and Arkansas, although I think LSU is done, but as long as Arkansas doesn't beat UK they're out IMO.

I have no use for people who live off of stats and computer algorithms and display a complete lack of knowledge and common sense understanding for the game itself.

Alright, so you're staunchly in the "watch them play" camp.

How many games of every bubble team have you watched?

None of that is wrong, but it still doesn't remove any teams from the required 68 for the NCAAT.

The SEC isn't the only conference with bubble teams blowing it, it's going on elsewhere too.

I was simply pointing out how bad we've been as a conference. No correlation to the bubble teams meant.

How many SEC games have you watched?
How many games from other conferences have you watched?

If you're going to make these kinds of statements and dismiss stats simultaneously, I can only assume that means you have watched a large sample of games and reached this conclusion from a very thorough eye test.

My argument with BTO was in response to understanding the play at the end of the A&M game. It has nothing to do with his use of stats to defend his RPI points. BTO holds his own, he doesn't need you going behind licking his ass.

And yes, I've watched a majority of the SEC's OOC games, especially UK and UF as I have multiple friends who attended both university's and it gives us something to talk about. Likewise most of them keep up with UT bball, perhaps we all watch each other hoping the other loses because of our rivalries.

It sounds like you're opposed to stats like RPI as well, right?

Except Xavier is 54. 1 top 50 win isn't a guaranteed ticket. It's like you take the human aspect of selection out of it. 10 people have to agree that we deserve to be in. In addition, our RPI will take a hit playing MSU and Auburn. You're somehow under the impression that RPI automatically improves with wins.

I guess you understand the RPI process better than some of the analysts? As your SOS erodes it can not help your RPI.

Why am I not surprised...don't worry, I'll post the RPI numbers before and after the game for you.

Our RPI jumped 6 spots :hi:

You have an odd sense of drawing to conclusions. With that said, I do believe the opponents opponents portion is too heavily weighted. I realize it's impossible for the committee to watch every game so there has to be some sort of barometer but it seems as though they get caught up in the RPI too much. For example, who is in today between UGA and Mizzou if that was an option? Mizzou. Despite playing in the same conference and being waxed by UGA and 3 games behind them, with no likely chance of catching them. I don't believe either deserve to be in whatsoever but I'd have a hard time putting Mizzou in over UGA at this point if given an option between the 2.

I completely understand your stance, and the RPI has serious flaws...

However, when discussing the tournament and selection process you have to really include the RPI.

RPI ending up jumping 7 spots!
