Where's Auburn?

Winning football in 2010 and getting screwed over in 2019 in basketball

Before 2019 where were you and no, it's not a trick question.

Football title 15 years ago, before that when was your last title?

Are you going to throw some IU achievements up here?

2004 in football. 1993 before that. 1983 before that.

When one has to use another sport to boost their argument it tells me you've already lost.

Auburn doesn't have any notable achievements in their history so you bring up football so
what's next, womens gymnastics, mens volleyball?

That UNC bunch beat the crap out of a pretty good Michigan State team for the title.

Same team as ‘08 UNC but with an extra year of experience for a few guys. That team was stomped by ‘08 KU. I’d move ‘08 KU up a few spots and ‘09 UNC down a few. KU ‘08 was better imo. And they won it in a stacked Final Four with four 1 seeds.

UNLV ran roughshod on duke in 1990 in the tourney, the following year the same teams met, exact same personnel except Grant Hill was a freshman, duke won that FF rematch and the next game they won the title.

UNC lost to KU in the FF, the same exact team came back the following year to win the the title. Ed Davis was a freshman and a key contributor to that team so who's to say KU would of won the rematch or they should be rated higher just because they won the year before?

Bottom line different team different year different mindset. Results don't carry over from year to year even if the personnel is virtually the same.

I'm 100% a homer, but I still take 2012 UK first. They have the best player in every single game they'd play. Never seen a player completely change the way they attack a defense like AD.

I think the top 10 is pretty solid though. Could argue a few other things, but ehh. I'd probably try to get Baylor into the top 10. But COVID changes the vibes of that tournament.

yeah your 2012 team was stacked. Even in the title game where Anthony Davis hardly scored. He still dominated the game in other ways

Sure. But I don't see the reasoning in UNC being listed so much higher than the '08 KU team.

KU had a better record than that UNC team, and won it all in a tougher field with a stacked final four. Then of course there is the game between the two in '08.

I don't see any reasoning in listing them higher much less THAT much higher.

It doesn't matter, teams change from year to year. Just because you won the first game doesn't mean you'll win the next one. Look at the NBA when they have best of 3/5 or 4/7. If you win the first game you were better that day, prove it again the next time.

Your reasoning is that you don't have one.
