LSU 7 Overall Seed LINK

Hunt Palmer’s projections have the Tigers as the 9 overall seed. Here’s his explanation and why he put LSU behind these 8 teams:
quote:

Georgia: 1 RPI, better SOS
Texas: SEC champs
Vanderbilt: 3 RPI, 2 more Q1 wins
Arkansas: 20 SEC wins
Auburn: 2 RPI, 2 more Q1s, sweep
UNC: 7 RPI, 11-5 Q1
Oregon St: 6 RPI
Oregon: B1G champs, 9-1 Q1

Hunt Palmer can kiss my furry rump. I'll accept his apology when he's proven wrong.

His explanations are contradicting each other big time. He’s just trying to get clicks and bites.

Why is Hunt choosing to be a massive cuck?

Hunt uses RPI, Conference Record, Head to Head, Quad 1 wins / record, but only when it’s a convenient metric to argue against LSU. Clown

When LSU is 7 in his projection Hunt will use that to keep people interested.

He’s clearly being pessimistic picking and choosing criteria inconsistently to put LSU in the worst possible position.

D1 has LSU at 7 per your link. It’s closer than many of you want to accept.

Has there ever been an instance where a 17 win and an 18 win team has gotten a top 8 seed over a 19 win team?

Pretty sure a 19 win team is 100% since they started seeding teams 1-16 like the current system. We are in

The mental gymnastics/explaining it takes to bring LSU all the way out of a top 8 seed is actually insane.

LSU is a lock as a national seed. What do you not understand with respect to that?

Texas has already won the SEC Championship ring.

Whoever wins the SEC Tournament is not SEC Champions. They are merely tournament champs.

The goal is, and always is, Omaha. Then win a ring there.

So ARK is ahead of us becuase they have 1 more SEC win. But Auburn is ahead of us with 1 less SEC win but they beat us head to head, and yet entirely ignore that we beat Ark head to head.

It is very inconsistent.

Being at 7 means that you’re at risk of a team coming up and grabbing it. You’re on the edge. Oregon State doesn’t have that opportunity, so that’s a plus. I wouldn’t say being at 7 is an absolute lock. Why would you consider it a lock?

LSU has 2 more conference wins that Auburn and 1 more than Vandy. Imagine the mental gymnastics it takes to put both of those teams as a national seed and leaving LSU out.
