When winning doesn't matter...I guess beating Georgia head to head and back to back meant nothing. This is not going to be a rant. Simply stunned at this point. Bama also beat Belmont, Kentucky, Tennessee and their cheating coach, We finished 2nd in the Conference. We finished the last third of our season on fire. I guess winning doesn't matter. Other teams have reason to complain. Georgia a 10 seed and we beat them twice. The second time we beat them Bama' intensive defensive pressure melted the dogs off the floor. But winning doesn't matter. Bama beat the God Almighty Kentucky Wildcats. But winning doesn't matter. We beat Tennessee on the road. Bruce Pearl gets rewarded for lying? But winning doesn't matter. Didn't we beat Belmont. Isn't St. Peter's in the NCAA.
And if you finish 11th in your conference why should be rewarded with an NCAA bid. When nail down spot number 2 in our league and get zip. If you have 7 teams and 11 teams out of two conferences what are conferences designed to do? I can hear the Coaches' pep talk. "all we have to do is finish 11th and we are in."
Here's the truth - for whatever reason the NCAA simply wasn't going to select Alabama. The final conference win over Georgia that was touted as important wasn't. So when Bama whipped the Dawgs the first time an opportunity to beat the Tide might happen in the SEC Tournament. It happened that Alabama whipped the Dawgs again. Georgia was on the bubble according to every bracket specialist would be lucky to get in even if they managed to beat Alabama. So if Alabama is so bad didn't those two losses fall under the bad losses column. Nope, something stinks here, and I think a lawsuit that Alabama won against the NCAA had a lot to do with what happened. Payback come in all types of packages.
