I understadn there is a lot of time from now til March but WTF Tennessee a 8 seed and Tech a 4 seed? They both are ranked near the same. How could won team be that many seeds ahead of the other?
It means nothing. Just for shiiits and giggles. If it makes you feel any better, UT has 5 5* rated recruits committed in this football class. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
i think even the bad teams VT lost to are winning some games they shouldn't and it bumps VT's RPI, plus ESPN realizes that the tournament committee is a "what have you done for me lately?" bunch and with Tech being 9-1 in the last 10 and wins over 2 top 5 teams it puts em up there
i aint arguing with Tech seeding. But Tennessee is 8-2 in the last ten with wins over Memphis, TExas, and Ok State and one loss to OSU by 2. I just think they are better tan a 8 seed. BUt liek what was said above its just for shiits and giggles lol.
yeap...and a lot has to do with projected finish, which is a crap shoot
Considering that conference schedules just got started, all ESPN is doing is trying to make themselves important.
Give them 5 years, they'll be doing the bracketology thing in July.

One of those being a convict that FSU kicked outta school. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
He sure is fast though.
A convict? What was he supposed to be convicted of?

I think he was being overdramatic. I don't think he's a convict or ever been convicted of anything. He was friends with former FSU WR Fred Rouse. Rouse was a convict. O'Neal was booted from FSU for grades. They kept about 2 dozen other convicts. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
O'neal was kicked outta FSU for smokin' grass...
O'neal was kicked outta FSU for smokin' grass.
And because of his problems he was only offered three Schollys from D1 schools. UT, Kansas State, Nebraska.
Prolly the only five star recruit to not be swarmed with offers.

and grades. The two more often than not, go hand in hand. I still don't see the convict correlation. He had more than 3 scholarship offers coming out of juco. Two more that Mike Farrell and he both referenced in articles on Rivals are USC and Cal. Rivals haven't updated their database on his offers since he commited to UT. I don't care if he smoked dope flunked out whatever, as long as he can keep his nose clean for the next two years.
Well just so ya know he didn't really light it up at FSU, at WR he caught 5 balls for 105 yds, but he did play pretty well at KR.
Another plus is he is nearly impossible to guard on Playstation because of his speed.
Do you know if he plans to run track at UT?/
I think he said he's only wanting to concentrate on football. I think the primary reason they got him was special teams too. UT's special team returns have been miserable since the mid 90's.
