Yall are nuts. The whole body of work.


Both teams were 13-17 in conference with 4 series wins, though SC did play Kentucky while LSU drew Auburn. Non-conference, SC went 0-2 in a weekend series with Clemson and played no other Top 150 teams on the weekend. LSU went 3-0 in Houston with wins over Texas and ULL and took 2 of 3 from Xavier. Overall LSU has 13 Top 40 wins to 11 for SC in weekend play.

Of course we aren't defending anything. We dont have armed guards protecting the '23 trophy from attack. But that has nothing to do with human nature's involvement in the process and its humans that will choose the 64 teams.

Did you read my post? I literally said its a bad thing, it shouldn't exist at all, and we are fortunate to be the blue blood in this case. Again, the body of work is all that SHOULD matter period, regardless of what team is involved in whatever sport.

So in the Alabama versus South Carolina matchup on Tuesday, which 13 & 17 club should we root for? I think Alabama’s rpi is better than South Carolina’s.

So you’re determined to double down on your stupidity.

Guess what? As we speak, the Texas Rangers are the DEFENDING World Series champions. They won it LAST SEASON.

Guess what? As we speak, the Denver Nuggets are the DEFENDING NBA champions. They won it LAST SEASON.

Guess what? As we speak, the LSU Tigers are the DEFENDING NCAA baseball National Champions. They won it LAST SEASON.

The above are referred to as such by every sportswriter, broadcaster, etc. etc. all over creation. Now shite your dick sucker, quit spouting ignorance, and quit embarrassing yourself.

We aren’t playing like a top 25 team. The inability to sweep Auburn, the Friday night loss to Bama. This 2 games in the 2nd half of the season and we aren’t even concerned about regionals sitting at 15-15

Yeah, I know ifs and buts and candy and nuts and all that, but with what we should have won and let get away, we could very easily be 17-13 right now and talking about possibly getting a top eight national seed.

So once again this isn’t boxing or tennis. When they start the mlb playoffs do they announce the rangers as the defending champs any other league do they announce the defending champions in a team sport? No because it doesn’t matter.

Yes they do.

You’re entitled to your opinion that it doesn’t matter. But you’re getting the actual facts wrong. Any team that wins a championship is the defending champion until the next team wins it. If you don’t like it, fine. But that’s how it works. You’re wasting your time trying to take that hill.

It’s really is sad to watch how out of touch with reality LSU Baseball fans are. I love LSU Baseball. I actually think we beat UGA. Without that win we don’t make it! It’s a must!

None of us know that. You may have that opinion, but the committee might have already seen enough. I’d feel better with a win vs Georgia, but we don’t know if it’s necessary for being selected.

Some of you are so smug with your opinions, when you also have no idea.

Yeah, I don't know anybody can be that confident either way, but of course there will be a ton of, "I told you so" no matter how it goes.

The truth is nobody knows, but winning a game in Hoover can only help.

I really hope LSU wins Tuesday.

If LSU wins Tuesday I feel like their 100% in. Plus they get into double elimination and have 2 more chances at another win which would put us at 15 total wins.

That isn’t a new term. We are defending something. It’s not too say it matters at all in selection, but you can’t act like the term doesn’t exist lol.

But what does that get you? You dont get favoritism over being a defending champion- stop arguing with me!!!
It’s not part of the ncaa criteria of closing teams based on your body of work for the previous season??
Look it up

Everyone has an opinion and we should leave it at that.
