Does LSU get inflated ratings because it's LSU?

Was LSU really a top 8 team? I'm thinking they got the Super because they are.. LSU.

DUMB arse...

We beat the #1 team 3 of 5 and were HOT at the end of the season, going like 14-3 (estimate) against the HIGHEST competition before the seeds were selected.

Definitely. Ole Miss deserved it, that's why they got swept in their own regional.

in the weeks leading up to the seeding, LSU beat the #1 team in the country 3 times out of 5

they didnt do that just because "its LSU" they did it because they're a good team

We just ran out of fuel this past weekend

it doesnt mean we werent a good team

Based on the fact that the last national seed came down to LSU, Ole Miss, Clemson, and SC, wouldn't you say that LSU deserved it?

Ole Miss crashed and burned in two games in Regional, Clemson didn't make it out of their own Regional, and SC posted same post-season record as LSU but finished season much weaker.

We deserved a top-8 seed IMHO. Not sure who had a more deserving resume'. If you find one I'll listen to an argument.

The biggest mystery to me is the super-regional disappearing act by the Jordan twins. They were a combined 0 for 12 in the SR.

Last night Beau made three first pitch outs while going 0 for 5. He made the last LSU out of the super regional on a first pitch fly ball out with the bases loaded in the top of the 9th.

Did South Carolina, Louisville, and the others that were upset get inflated ratings?

Its sports, its baseball. Louisville shut out their opponent until the bottom of the ninth. Leading three to nothing with the bases loaded, a guy who only had twenty-six appearances all season, stepped up and knocked a gram slam home run.

Was Louisville over rated?

Did you think this before we lost to a good Coastal Carolina team? Or is this just a reaction to last night? Also, who do you think was more deserving of the #8 seed?

I agree. They should have hosted a Super Regional if they could have only made it there...

ETA: I was definitely being sarcastic. Needed to add that since sarcasm isn't a strong suit of the Rant.

Since Louisville, Moo State, and TAMu lost do they not deserve their top 8 seeds?

Hindsight is 20/20. Vanderbilt got bounced early too. As did many good teams.
