Postseason

[JTrue]

Since football is toast already, It's going to be at least 2015 for a bowl game. Though I wouldn't put any money on it. Basketball means getting an at-large bid with UConn still around, so thats at least 2 years away as well. I think I have to go with baseball. Its a remote possibility, but we could make a run in the conference tournament and get an automatic bid this year and I don't think I'm crazy for thinking we have the pitching already that could get us into a regional the following year if Kingston can bring in a decent bat or two. Jucos in baseball can be incredibly lucrative.

How could ANYONE pick football? Throw baseball out of it (which is actually what I picked) and just compare football and basketball.  Football only picks the top 4 teams, and with our conference we could EASILY go undefeated and still not get picked. Basketball lets 66 or 67 teams in. I think those are better odds.

Football includes bowl games, not just the championship. I am hoping ( maybe even delusional ) that we still get some luck our way and pull off a 6 win season. If nothing else we need the extra practice.

That's why I said NCAA tournament or a bowl game. Postseason play for football is at about 55% (70/128), basketball is at about 19% (68/351), and baseball is 21% (64/298) if you break down the numbers.

Unfortunately I'm saying football next year will be first.

I'd love to see football make a bowl game, but I went with basketball. I think it will be interesting to see what Coach Antigua does, but hope that football pulls it out.

In keeping with the overall TBP mentality of adamantly supporting someone/something that has zero proof of being good, I picked basketball. I think the new gold/yellow uniforms will push them to succeed.

 

Geesh, I'm starting to get too negative. Is it the weekend yet?

So, it's not to the bowl games that constitute the final-four tournament in football? 

I'll just stick with basketball. It might be another case of play-in and quickly exit but

I think that might happen before football sees postseason play. 

 

Now, if we were talking about the bowls that constitute the playoffs, I'd definitely

stick with hoops. I don't think that's gonna happen in my lifetime (and according to 

the actuarial tables that's probably thirty-some years hence).

Yep. NCAA tourney for basketball, same for baseball, any bowl for football.

Football and basketball (unless you include NIT) have essentially no chance this year. Baseball has a shot.
