You just posted a list of teams that made the 2025 NCAAT.

It's fascinating to see a once-proud football school, skip straight ahead to next basketball season. Hugh sure has done a number on y'all.

You should've stopped right there.
90% of the teams on this list don't even have half of their roster set for next season.

Well I guess most programs stay near the top. Explains why LSU isn’t on the list.

And it’s fascinating to see how a never proud football and basketball school somehow found their way into the SEC. It’s bewildering to everyone.
Some of us enjoy both. I’ve already booked a hotel room in Indianapolis for our game against Purdue. I’ve held off on booking flights to Arizona to watch us play in Tucson because it’s SEC Football Championship weekend.
You can focus on two sports at once. Heck for Mizzou, I’d just try one to start.

Sorry pal, but the OP screams "we suck arse at football so I'm going to post a topic that NOBODY cares about right now." Make sure you aren't busy on your phone booking a hotel room, when we kick the shite out of you and Hugh on Oct 18th.

Nobody cares, yet you clicked on it. And responded. Twice!
Sorry that your team wasn’t on the list so you decided to get irritable over it.

Wow. You needed a 4th quarter miracle to come back and beat one of the worst Auburn teams of the last 50 years and now you think you can talk shite. Congrats on your first win over Auburn since you joined the league. I can tell it’s a big deal to you.

Oh look, you DO care about football. I knew there was hope for Aubie.
It's weird that you think I GAF if Mizzou is on that list. Basketball will receive its attention at the appropriate time. This ain't it though.

Ranked in half the final AP top 25s during the golden age of Auburn basketball is the model of consistency.

Way Too Early rankings is right. We're in the middle of the transfer market; there's a lot of movement happening.

I care about all sports. And while this feels a bit like picking on a retarded kid, let me remind you that since Mizzou joined the SEC, your team has a losing record to Auburn in football, basketball, and baseball… not to mention probably every other sport.
And since you seem to think we should only be talking about sports that are currently being played, let’s talk about baseball.
My Tigers just won the series over #12 Bama and followed it up with a win last night at #18 Georgia Tech. Tell me how your Tigers are doing. LOL.

We are going for perfection in baseball. Our record speaks for itself.

Michigan State, Houston, Purdue, Gonzaga, and Tennessee are the only programs who have made the NCAA Tournament more times than Auburn since 2018… and if not for a global pandemic, you would be able to take Purdue and Tennessee off that list.
I’d say that’s plenty consistent.

BTW, this is disingenuous as hell. The "miracle" was that our QB was a badass and came back from the hospital to beat you. You were beaten by a tougher team. The real miracle was you guys beating us a few years ago, when we gift-puked you that game.

Those pictures are the closest a Georgia fan will ever get to the Final Four.

With the new NIL/Transfer rules, there's a lot more movement week to week in the polls than during the actual season.

Until the portal is closed, how do you begin to assess?
