I predicted (in my own mind) after NC State beat UNC to secure an unexpected bid that Lunardi would most likely now say Virginia has to be out, sure enough he said Virginia first 4 out tonight..........he basis his logic on nothing more than he first "projected" 4 ACC teams and 9 SEC teams to get in the tournament. Since he doesnt want to look bad by underselling the ACC at 5 bids, and overselling the SEC at 9 he finds reasons why bubble teams who went 1-1 in the SEC tournament should be in, but Virginia should be out, despite a rather fluke loss to NC State the eventual champ.
I'm not even mad anymore just bored at the absolute naked shilling going on for the big 2 conferences (big10 and SEC) the memo has clearly been sent not only in football but all sports to talk them up.
