Cbi?

[Irish_Sooner]

Will they offer? Do we accept?

(Sorry if this has been discussed)

I say we go and force this team to be humiliated by losing in the second round.

 

[seniorsooner]

No.

 

[cfin5256]

No.

Hell no.

 

[soonermike53]

To the OP, the CBI would cost us money. JC doesn't want to do that, so we are not going.

 

[cfin5256]

Would it even be an option with our record?

 

[seniorsooner]

Probably not.

I remember they have taken teams with losing records before from power conferences.

Also no unless you want me showing up with a bag over my head if it is a home game.

My bad then; I kind of thought the thread was meant to be facetious. Sorry Irish. I wouldn't even know what to think about a CBI invite; on the one hand I think 'maybe they magically put it together all of a sudden and make a run' and on the other I think about the OSU game...

Heck Oregon State won the thing last year and they were 14-17 to end the regular season. That is pathetic.

True. More game experience is never a bad thing, but would it do any good when we're still not sure who will be back or not next season.

LOL no worries I am not sure if I meant the question to be a joke or not either.

Here was the CBI field last year (records to end the regular season):

Oregon St (13-17)
Stanford (18-13)
Wichita St (16-16)
Buffalo (21-11)
Nevada (21-12)
UTEP (19-12)
Wyoming (19-13)
Northeastern (18-12)
Houston (21-11)
Green Bay (22-10)
Vermont (23-8)
Richmond (18-15)
St. John's (16-17)
Troy (19-12)
Charleston (26-8)
Boise St (19-12)

Of course there is also the CollegeInsider.com postseason tournament, which had its inaugural season last year. The 16 team field included:

Mt. St. Mary's (19-13)
James Madison (19-14)
Rider (19-12)
Liberty (22-11)
Belmont (19-12)
Evansville (17-13)
The Citadel (20-12)
Old Dominion (21-10)
Drake (17-15)
Idaho (16-15)
Portland (19-12)
Pacific (19-12)
Kent State (19-14)
Oakland (22-12)
Bradley (18-14)
Austin Peay (19-13)

I don't think we're good enough to get into this one. They don't seem to allow teams with losing records.

 

[Irish_Sooner]

If they tripled the NCAA field would we be invited and what region would we play in?

I think we are a 38 seed and get shipped to the super-south-Arizona region

 

[seniorsooner]

I think we'd end up in the Guymon regional

Also no unless you want me showing up with a bag over my head if it is a home game.

I've always kind of wanted to do this. For some reason I didn't last year with the Thunder. Now it's too late for them.

Why would anyone want this season to continue?
