Autzen Audibles

Ok, so Bucknell has an RPI of 52, a SOS of 217, and 1 win against the top 50 (against LaSalle, who was one of the last 4 in), and gets an 11 seed.
Oregon has an RPI of 46, a SOS of 125, and 4 top 50 wins, and gets a 12 seed.

How does that make any sense at all?

Since it's St. Patty's day, let me quote the illustrious house of pain,

TIme to "Put on your s%^ kickers and kick some s%^&".

Anyway, we are going to make a run and kick some tail. I'm pissed... both too much liquor and at the NCAA.

Out

I usually watch the entire selection show. After our seed was announced, I just turned it off.

Better than an 8 or 9 seed

I honestly think the selection committee had a "SENIOR MOMENT". You know a dementia kind of thing. It's obvious they didn't pay much attention to Oregon and the Pac-12. Does Oregon have areas of weakness...yes but the persevered. The facts are this no matter what they think of Oregon, Oregon tied for second in the Pac-12 and was ranked in the top 25 for a large part of the year, and WON the Pac-12 Tournament.

I was listening to Sirius radio and a coach from the selection committee(I think Xavier) was on and talked about some teams that didn't get in but no mention on how they screwed Oregon's seating up.

Oh well just need to kick Oklahoma States ARSE!!!!!!! then they will have to talk about it.

Probably has to do with our weak non-conference schedule too.

While the Pac-12 conference is truly coming of age in football, there is an obvious outsider perpective that we play in a soft, second-rate wine and cheese conference. It's truly alarming and unsettling just how out of touch the selection committee is about how we roll out here.

They think we are weak-a** conference. Plain and simple. They don't value our wins. They don't vibe of our squads or pump up our highlights. No one knows our playmakers and no one has seen us in central or eastern time zones all year.

Know who has the Pac-12 network? It sure as s**ain't guys on Tobacco Road, up in Wisconsin or back in say, Bristol, Connecticut. They don't respect our game because they are all asleep when we play. They could care less that our bigest OOC win is against a tough but brittle Mountain West school in UNLV (who truly haven't gelled in David Rice's second year, BTW).

If I'm Oregon, I'm pissed. And when I take the floor next week, I rip the other teams to pieces and play fierce, fevered, fast flocking basketball to show the nation how Mighty Oregon rises to the challenge...

Flock U sends its best, committe s***-heads.
GO DUCKS!!

No two ways about it we got jobbed. We got robbed.
