The fact that they’ve only played 4 such games shows how alarmingly easy their tournament paths have been…
I know you have only been following basketball for five years now, but when you are a low seed (1-4) in the tourney, your path to the Elite 8 is supposed to be relatively easy. At least you should be favored in every game leading up to that one.
Now you know.

Pearl had a five year head start to build a program before Oats arrived at Alabama. Despite that, Oats has the better head to head record.
But you would take Hitler, Satan or Derek Dooley over any Alabama coach.
Head to head is not a major consideration for me, I prefer a coach who can build a program and get to the Final Four with a chance to win it all. Pretty much the opposite of McMahon.
I mean, we're splitting hairs here. They are both good coaches, and I suspect Bama will be better than Auburn next year.

Considering your qualification
first winning it all only counts, then you back track and say FINAL FOURs;
Auburn 2
Bama 1
Auburn is twice the program

Overall Number One Seed losing to San Diego State was glorious. Couldnt be Auburn.

SDSU made it all the way to the ship that year. They were no Yale though, that’s for sure.

You made the final four as the number one overall seed.
Thats what great teams do
Your words, not mine.
So Bama's run to the Final Four last year is actually better than AU's this year considering Bama was a 4 seed last year.
I appreciate you noticing and confirming that Bama was GREAT last year.

A #1 seed losing in the sweet sixteen is almost as disappointing and embarrassing as a #4 seed losing in the first round.

I think you relish setting Auburn up for a potential monumental crash as much as you enjoy trolling Alabama.
You have written so many checks on behalf of Auburn that if they lose you will simply disappear to one of your other accounts and leave the real Auburn fans to cash them.

There is an easy way to quantify these things by using simple math.
Pearl and Oats are both 11-5 in the NCAA Tourney with current schools. But how do those 11 wins and 5 losses stack up?
FORMULA: You get points for each win based on the seed you beat, and you conversely get points taken away for each seed you lost to.
If you beat a 16-seed you get 1 point… a 15-seed, 2 points, etc… all the way down to 16 points if you beat a 1-seed.
Conversely, you subtract 1 point for losing to a 1-seed, 2 point for losing to a 2-seed, etc.
Score Oats’ and Pearl’s NCAA Tourney wins and losses, and Pearl is +70 while Oats is just +49.
Tournament runs ranked:
+48 Auburn in 2019
+36 Auburn in 2025 (still going)
+35 Alabama in 2024
+20 Alabama in 2025
+8 Auburn in 2023
+5 Alabama in 2023
-1 Auburn in 2018
-2 Alabama in 2021
-8 Auburn in 2022
-11 Alabama in 2022
-13 Auburn in 2024 (Yale)
Again, works out to Pearl +70 and Oats +49. It is just factually correct that Pearl has performed better in the Tournamant compared to Oats. Yes they have the same record, but Auburn just has far more big Tournament wins over solid opponents. Bama has mostly gotten easy paths which is why their numbers look weaker.
You can’t argue with math.
