Weren't they the higher seed in all of them?

markfromthedark.bsky.social•9 days ago

yeah, but you can usually count on at least one of them, usually michigan state, to lose when favored

I mean there are always upsets. Having a sample size of 8 and all getting through the first round is impressive.

Not disagreeing because there are usually upsets, but I have seen some saying that it's better than SEC and I think it's hard to make that comparison... Yet. Most SEC teams that lost were worse seeds.

My gut take is the SEC is probably not as good as imagined, but also no teams were poor either.

That's the record for most wins in an undefeated day ever.

The SEC tied a record for losses in a day at 5, and TX lost in a play in game..

All the nonsense about the SEC being the best conference in history is garbage. They weren't even the best conference on Friday, never mind, in all time.
