No need to balance them out. some years the SEC is tough others they aren’t. Just like it is today. I remember when the PAC10 used to be tough.
Notre Dame should not be in it this year either. They didn’t win this week...so they should be out. But since they aren’t we know that money is the real talker here and notre dame in the tournament makes big money. So let them get in as one of the 3 bogus elite picks. The committee gets 4 bogus picks this year so they lose one in an 8 team tournament. Small steps. No way would they agree to give up all their power to influence the money.
“Notre Dame should not be in it this year either. “
Oh for crying out loud. They’re UNDEFEATED.
“They didn’t win this week...so they should be out.”
They didn’t lose. Ever.
It must really suck to be a Notre Dame hater. Sorry you can’t live up to their standards.
