It seems the time of recruiting a team of one and done’s has passed. I heard on a sports talk show today that the top SEC teams are Senior laden. Eight of Auburn’s top Nine players (based on minutes played) are Seniors. Four of Bama’s top Eight players are Seniors. I freely admit I’m not a very knowledgeable BB fan … but I know enough to know I enjoy seeing programs that build their rosters on Juniors and Seniors than the teams filled with one and done freshmen.

AuBarn average age is 23-24yr. More than some NBA teams.

Bama needs to stay focused on the Tx game.

Hope you get a few takers on that bet. (Lol, knowing new poll won’t be out until next Monday.)

The only poll I want to see us number 1 is at the end of the season, the one that really matters.

Polls mean nothing at the end of the season. The tournament determines who’s number 1

So I would think poll... as in cf... would be same as outcome of tournament

But

For football.. Would be interesting if a 14-0 team going into NC game. Lost to a 11-3 team... going into nc game ...on a fluke play... awful officiating call...etc.
but a W is a W. So shouldn't matter
Poll n championship game outcome should be same. As in all

In football and basketball the final game is promoted as the national championship game.

Anderson and Hester is still viewed by the NCAA as a "major selector" whose poll/rankings are recognized officially.

Oregon was voted #1 last season. Like UCF in '17, they have a claim to the '24 title.

Last night it was No#2 Bama about to meet No#1 Auburn this Saturday that the AP Poll. The Coaches Poll has No#1 Bama playing No#2 Auburn.
