Umm, we are not on the bubble for an at-large bid. Not even close. I keep reading comments from State fans saying we just need to get to the finals on Sunday to get in. Nope, we have to win the tourney to get in. That’s it.
I just wish officials were held accountable for their calls. I’m sure there is a review done by the league after each game – that report should be made public so that all coaches and players (and fans) have the proper expectations going forward. And if a bad call is made, then it is acknowledged. It wouldn’t change the outcome, but at least it wouldn’t feel like we were being completely ignored. The kids that played on that court deserve to have their hard work acknowledged that mistakes by grown men took away from them.
It’s dumb that FSU or Tenn. results have any effect on our ranking. We played them when we played them. Its done. If Tennessee had beat Florida, it would have had zero effect on our game back in mid-December.
I don’t understand the revisionist history that apparently college basketball rankings are based on. If you played a team when they were ranked #50, that’s the team you won or lost to. If 2 months later, they’ve improved and are #20… you still didn’t beat the 20th best team. Same goes the other way. If you win against a top 10 team – you should get credit for that. If they start to slide to the bottom of the top 25 – that doesn’t make your win any less tough when you played them.
I just think that all SOS should be based on what teams are ranked when you play them.
