I mean, yeah. Can't make a good argument for Tech earning a shot at the NC

which is what the NCAA tournament is, but anyone who doesn't realize that the auto bids are basketball's equivalent of affirmative action are kidding themselves. They have a certain amount of picks for the "the best" 37 or however many teams, then 31 "best who check this box" picks. It's why the NCAA tournament isn't as great as everyone pretends it is and seeing CFB inch that way isn't a good thing. That said, again, we have zero argument for having earned a shot at the national championship.

Huh what?!

That's a common misconception.

68 teams and I would argue it isn't the best 68 in the country.
LvilleHokie • 03/13/24 10:12 PM ET
The top 48 are in there and that will include the national champion
Walkin` Willie • 03/14/24 01:15 PM ET
Is there anyone who does argue it’s the best 68?**
Pride_and_Joy • 03/14/24 05:05 AM ET
OP said top 64 teams go to the tourney.**
LvilleHokie • 03/14/24 09:16 AM ET
Fair enough.
Pride_and_Joy • 03/14/24 09:24 AM ET
Agreed**

You are correct. It is not. The reality for any Division I basketball
VTScoop • 03/13/24 10:39 PM ET
Which means to make the tournament not off the autobid process
