Assuming we get past the winner of MSU and Carolina, do we want Kentucky or Bama?
I can see arguments for both. For Bama, easier for us to make the finals on paper, and we get revenge for the loss in Tuscaloosa when we were short handed.
but for Kentucky, the opportunity to knock them off and then beat auburn in the finals is probably our only shot at a 1 seed. Bama and auburn probably isn’t enough to push us from 2 to 1, and maybe uk/AU isn’t either, but it’d give us a chance. Also, my hatred of schools is compartmentalized by sport. I hate Kentucky basketball much more than Bama basketball, so I’d rather beat Kentucky again, I think.***
*** disclaimer: Playing Kentucky is not, nor will it ever be our “Súper bowl.” It’s just a team with a super shitty fan base that we beat about 60% of the time with Barnes at the helm.
