Will someone please explain this to me? From all of my understanding, it was between us, MSU, and UGA for two spots. How did Georgia get in, after all their conference record (6-8) is worse than ours (7-7). However, they did beat us in the regular season and at the tournament, their RPI is 25 and their Strength of Schedule is 20. I halfway understand this.
If GA could leap frog us, why could we not have leapfrogged Miss. St? The only thing that Miss St has going for them is that it's conference record (8-6) is better than ours. As I was watching the selection special, I recall one of the commentators say that a lot of emphasis was put on conference tournaments. Now this being said, both teams loss in the first round. However, we loss to Georgia, the number 9 seed. They loss to Kentucky, the number 12 seed and worst team in the SEC. Now let's compare RPI's. Ours is 53. Their's is 67. How about Strength of Schedule? Ours is 51. Theirs is 80.
I've always heard that a lot of emphasis was put on SOS and RPI, why would we not go ahead of Miss. St? Please respond.
