Can we please be the 2 seed at Gonzaga? Please? Hopefully they get it, we would be likely to go there for travel reasons

Haven't been to Spokane in years. It's 458 miles from my house. That's a whole lot closer than Mississippi, Texas, Tennessee, Florida, or Nebraska.

7 Host sites for the SEC!!!
That is just waaaay too many. For any conference. SEC is good, but it is NOT THAT GOOD. This keeps happening. The post season results continue to not support it. And we just go round and round. Every damn year.
So tired of this act.

Half of the conference's teams should not host a regional. The top teams, yes, of course. The No. 6 and No. 7 team? I think not.
They're not THAT good.

Give any conference twice as many host sites as any other conference and see what happens. 6 of 11 isn't the whole story either. There has been a ton of SEC teams flaming out in the post season as well, even while living on easy street. An audit of the entire field for the last 12 years would be a much more accurate picture.

The still have to win in Omaha. They had 6 other teams that lost in the championship game. So, 12 teams in the last 11 championship games......I'd say they're decent.

Smails, people have their mind made up already. Don't bring actual data into the conversation. The issue isn't the top 3 or 4 teams getting to host. They should. The issue is #s 5, 6 and 7 getting to host, when perfectly capable 1, 2 and 3 teams from other conferences are snubbed.

One thing I'll give the SEC is they like to show baseball games. Its Vanderbilt vs Ole Miss on the SEC Network for Friday night baseball.
There is no Pac12 baseball on tonight, instead they'll be showing softball games until 6:00 AM tomorrow.

Again, all of those data points are influenced by the input, where one conference is getting a huge leg up on the field. What does 12 teams in the last 11 championships even mean when they are getting way more opportunities to get there? Hell, we at OSU should know all about what letting a good team into the back of the field can do to the results. 2007, we're the last or almost last team to make the field, and we win the whole damn thing. Scratch the last couple SEC teams along the way every year in favor of less SEC flavor and spread out host sites more and all of those "statistics" could be very different. I'm not even disagreeing with you Smails. I would say the SEC is better than "decent". I would even go so far to say, as much as it pains me, that the SEC IS the best conference as a whole. BUT they are NOT twice as good as any other conference out there. That's just stupid, and really doesn't jive with reality.
