They also just said that Tennessee now has a 79 percent chance of winning the SEC championship outright.
Which apparently means we have a 79 percent chance of losing at least 1 of our last 2 games.

Well Tenn has to win only one game. LSU has to win two. Those odds makes sense to me.

I’d be willing to bet if we beat a team on the road tomorrow that already beat us at home, those odds switch to our favor considerable.

And that assumes Tennessee has a 100% chance of winning their last game at auburn.
I doubt we have much less than a 97% chance to lose to winless Vandy at home in our last game, so they are basically saying we are almost a sure thing to lose at Florida tomorrow.

Long story short, espn and joe lunardi is a retard.

Actually, according to the ESPN win predictor LSU has a 39.8% to win so the gators are favored but they do give us a fighting chance.

Apparently they showed a graphic during both the Vols and UK game with the same number of conference wins and still said Tenn was the one seed.

Gotcha. Not sure when they showed it, but it was a blowout so the outcome was known.

Anyway, who gaf what espn or secn say on Tuesday night? It'll be determined Saturday. I'm willing to bet if we win out the regular season, we'll be the 1 seed in the SECT. That's all that matters.

Actually, according to the Will Wade win predictor LSU has a 100% to win since Mike White embarrassed Wade and he'll never let Florida beat us twice.

They’re using the loophole that Tennessee already played and won its midweek game so technically they’re in first by a half game. But when the records are totaled up and if nothing changes were the #1 seed. It’s fricking ESPN idve thought by now people would know not to pay attention to anything they say. That network is good for one thing and that’s live games but even the coverage of said games is shite.

Sounds like a Tennessee wet dream. Oh, guess what? The SEC basketball tournament does not start tonight.

I'd turn off the sound and listen to radio announcers if there wasn't a damn delay.

Yeah, but LSU's odds of beating Florida should be no worse than 50 percent, especially considering how well LSU plays on the road. And Vanderbilt is the worst team in the conference, by far. Meanwhile, Tennessee has to travel to Auburn for their last game.

With all that under consideration, this "79%" chance for Tennessee to win it outright sounds at least 15 percentage points too high, to me.

It’s pretty stupid to show that when every team hasn’t played their midweek game yet. If they were going by if the tournament started today they should have used the standings from the beginning of today. ESPN is so mad about LSU beating Kentucky and Tennessee.

It sucks. After the 100th reference to senior day during Bama game, I finally gave up and muted the sound. Could take no more.

I very much miss having the option to listen to the radio and watch at the same time. I could mute the television at any point that it annoyed me. I still mute it sometimes, but turning on the radio is obviously not an option.

A lot of radio announcers STILL say "turn down the sound on the TV, and turn us up". Do they not know?

All the false information is turning them into CNN.

I still enjoy ESPN on cable for the most part, but their website is arse. It’d been proven for the past decade that their high school football ratings are complete arse. 247 needs to take them off the composite.

It was Dykes again tonight for Kentucky v Ole Miss and it was the same thing. He’s outright pulling for Kentucky like some homer on a local radio show trying to will them to victory pointing out strategies and moves only for Kentucky not a single one for Ole Miss. in my opinion he’s the worst by far, I hate when he’s on SEC network for SEC now. You’ve got the hosts who are pretty objective and guys like Kennedy and Bradley who call it fair then they sometimes bring that cuck on he ruins everything.

Funny you should mention CNN because they’re the same exact company answering to the same exact overlords. Don’t be surprised if Max Kellerman ends up working at CNN in the future. His audition tapes can be seen every morning on hot take.
