Title: I may choke on saying this

But,  I will be for FL & KY (gag)  :bawl: If someone has to win this, it may as well be the SEC.
  :doh:

Not me.  Any SEC team not named Tennessee that wins a NC doesn't benefit me in the least.

I'm on record below as saying I wanted all the SEC teams to win to prove a point.  Normally I don't, but I feel like the selection committee was so incredibly biased this year that I wanted the SEC to win as much as possible.

Well...they have.  They have won more than enough to prove my point. 

Today, even though I have ALWAYS hated Michigan, and I am pissed at the way they beat us, I rooted for them. A bonus of them winning is that it makes our loss a bit more meaningful, but that's not why I rooted for them.

I just freaking hate Kentucky worse, is all.   :naughty: 

fizzle Kentucky and fizzle Calipari...it's time for them to choke.

As for the gators, I don't feel the rivalry with them in basketball is nearly as strong anymore with Bruce gone.  Still, I would root against them but it would destroy or finish destroying most of my brackets.   :naughty:

Yeah.  Did the Atlantic 10, for instance,  REALLY deserve six slots?

Of course, for some of these smaller mid-major conferences the tourney is probably their largest source of revenue, and of course many of the lower seeds are reserved for them as a matter of deliberate policy...but even factoring that in...SIX teams?

You can't tell me that UGa or Arkansas wasn't as good as at least one of these...

Saint Louis   13-3   27-7
Virginia Commonwealth   12-4   26-9
George Washington   11-5   24-9
Saint Joseph's   11-5   24-10
Massachusetts   10-6   24-9
Dayton   10-6   26-11

Then again, Dayton was probably the team to be left out, and they had a nice run, so....

I don't think any other SEC team deserved a bid. This was a three team league, and two of those three underachieved in the regular season.
