All the "experts" think that will be in the Tournament

It will be awesome if they are the last team in & Auburn is the first team out

NET is 54. Not great, but worse NETs have gotten at-larges before.

With their record, I think they're close to safe. How many more opportunities for "bid thieves" are still out there?

Losses to MSU & Ole Miss both the last couple of weeks of the season should know them out.

***You just gotta hate for the IB though***

When does Auburn start questioning his leadership of their Athletic Department?
Cohen got screwed by Daddy Pearl.

Well big bro bama has done wonders with our other old AD, so they'll hold on until Bama let's go of their old state AD***

They are ranked and been ranked thru the season.
This shouldn't even be a discussion.

Well, as far as I can tell they have 31 wins and 0 of them are Quad 1 because they haven't played a team that qualifies.

It's an embarrassing schedule, but they'll get in. And they'll get embarrassed in the 1st round unless it's a First Four game, and they might still get embarrassed.

So what. It’s still better than a sub .500 SEC or Big 10 team getting that bid. It’s not like that teams going either.

I'm totally fine with them getting in. I even had a friend who went to school there and have partied on that campus way back in the day. It's a beautiful campus and and a cool little town. By far a better Oxford than the one we all hate.

Comparing Byrne to Cohen is like comparing the Los Angeles Dodgers to Alcorn State
Byrne inherited a gold mine and only had a baseball coach get arrested for betting and a basketball player get charged as an accomplice for murder (but not really). Clearly the gold standard, all he has to do is not sink the ship and keep the brand value from tanking.

Hired Cannizarro, Moorhead, & McCray-Pinson. I will give him Leach as a solid hire. Screwed us royally by not preparing for NIL
Thus far at Auburn, he has hired Freeze, Steven Pearl, & Johnnie Harris. No data yet on Golesh

I think Golesh is a pretty mediocre hire.

I'm going to be pretty pis-sed off if they go and it keeps us out!**

Wait, but on 2nd thought, I'm with Bernie on this one:

The buyout is not that much. It's $6 million if they want to move on.
But why is it even that much? Nobody else was offering him a job at the P4 level. Not sure there'd be many G6 teams that would hire him as head coach. Auburn's not an undesirable job. Definitely a bad time to be in a coach search, but I think you either get him dirt cheap or you just go to market. There are better candidates to roll the dice on for $6M.

I don't have a huge problem with them getting in over a mediocre SEC or Big 10 team, but to me if you can't find a way to schedule a single Quad 1, that should be disqualifying for an at large bid unless there are extenuating circumstances like you scheduled a blue blood that was inexplicably bad or you schedule a half dozen P4 teams and it just so happened that none of them had a decent year.

But if you look at their schedule, I have no clue who they thought was going to even be decent. Air Force? They basically didn't try to compete for an at large bid.

Guys! Guys! This clown wants us to know he doesn't care! He's not caring so hard he took time to post and find a GIF for it! Look at all the caring he's not doing!

Also, you have to let Miami-OH in. They tried to schedule teams and were rebuffed.

I'm so glad that you took the time from your busy schedule to acknowledge my post as well. so you obviously have nothing better to post about, as usual................
