SEC vs SEC in the CWS Final.  
Just like it'll be in a 12-team football playoff more times than not.

Well...
So weird about the COVID protocols.

Why did vaccinated players who played on Friday, not get allowed to play on Saturday?  Why are they testing vaccinated players anyway?

Why are they NOT testing everyone, since they found vaccinated players that tested positive on NCSU?  Why not test Vandy at that point since they clearly came in contact with NCSU while some of those players were positive?

And why didn't NCSU just get everyone vaccinated so they could enjoy the silly loophole of "If everyone's vaccinated then we'll stick our fingers in our ears and yell "blah blah blah" and ignore your team and not test at all, even though we've already proven you can test positive ]after being vaccinated."

They're going to have to fix those protocols before football season.  I suspect the power programs are going to push for zero testing.  And they're probably right to do so.

Anyway congrats to MSU, good luck to them against Vandy.  Both are excellent teams.

Technically, sure.

But what's the point?

Why are the already-vaccinated players at NCSU getting tested, while the already-vaccinated players at Vandy or Texas or MSU not getting tested?  

Why are the scores of thousands of fans in the stadium, who are unmasked and not socially distancing and have unknown vaccination status, not being tested?

It's a silly protocol that has nothing to do with safety or health.  So why does it exist?

I'll make a bold prediction that the most powerful football schools aren't going to put up with it, and will make moves to ensure zero testing is the protocol come football season.

Surprised Mississippi State was one of just 3 Power Five schools to never win a team title.  Would have guessed everyone had at least one.  But it actually leaves Virginia Tech and Kansas State

Miss State's results in the SEC tournament (0-2)
L, 13-1 to 6 Florida
L, 12-2 to 2 Tennessee
.
I guess that didn't matter.
