Because of SECSPN. South Carolina finished seventh in their conference, but still receive the number eight seed. Preseason polls had tons of SEC teams in the top 10 so then even when those teams lose it is still a “quality loss.” It is complete and utter b.s., has been going on in football for two decades. Now it is bleeding into other sports that the PAC 10/12 were traditionally good at but SECSPN has now helped SECSPN dominate, sports like softball and baseball and gymnastics. Regarding baseball, look at how many SECSPN teams are predicted to host in the regional round of the CWS tournament. A team that came in 10th in the SECSPN (Florida) could host over UCLA if baseball loses today vs. Nebraska (down 5-0 in Omaha with 20K red shirts rooting against us at present). This will look like a “bad loss” because Nebraska is not great but they certainly are formidable when they’re in front of the huge stadium with 20,000 fans and UCLA typically plays before less than 1,000. Rant over.
