Vandy went 11-8 versus teams in our half of the main bracket.

Vandy went 13-6 versus teams in the other half.

During the season Vandy faced 15 of the other 63 teams and went 24-14

A former mid-major head coach was the Chair of the Selection Committee.

Corbs gave a huge shoutout to Connor Fennell in his interview.
Corbs also said the team has taken full ownership and he’s just sitting back and watching now. I wonder if he likes popcorn?

As the overall #4 seed went to Auburn, it appears RPI and SOS were very important metrics.

In the last 5 years, Top 8 seeds ended up in Omaha 5, 5, 2, 5, and 5 times.
Champs in those 5 years and National Seed:
2024 Tennessee #1
2023 LSU #5
2022 Ole Miss. not seeded
2021 Miss State #7
2019 Vanderbilt #2

Top 4 seeds are all SEC, first time that’s ever happened since the NCAAT expanded to 64 teams in 1999.

Since 1999, only one overall #1 seed won the title — UTjr last year. Thanks for breaking that jinx for us, our fine brethren from the east.

Change that to “our hillbilly-talkin’, orange-suckin’, chest-thumpin’, profanity-spoutin’ jerks” from the east.
