Florida up 8-2

We have no chance at a national seed, but I don't think we'll be able to fall far enough to not host a regional. We were on the bubble for a national seed coming into this weekend. Play well, we're a national seed. Play poorly, we're a non-national seed host. We chose the latter.
And if by some chance, we aren't hosting, we'll have gotten hosed.

At this point, the national seed is gone. We're going to be a non-national seed host, so there really isn't anything for us to worry about. The only way we don't get the host is if we're jobbed on it.
after yesterday, but I have to think this loss will move ya'll out. You now have really no advantage over Florida except for 1 regular season win. They have a higher RPI, better SOS, and better non-conf resume.
He has Louisville hosting depite the fact they have 30 wins, THIRTY, outside the top 100 and only 5 inside the top 50.

This year, they are taking a cue from UGA's 2008 season -- go 2 and out in the SECT, then on to Omaha!! Brilliant move by Bianco. Sort of explains trying the squeeze yesterday with one out and no one on first, dontcha think?
but to be fair, typically when a pretty new poster says something like that, they aren't kidding.
Going into today, your RPI was #16 and only the 4th best in the SEC. I still think you host, but it's a lot closer to 50-50 than I'd be comfortable with if I were a UM fan. I know that RPI isn't all they look at, but conference record isn't all they look at either.
for them not to get a regional. Even if they were seeded at the 20th best team in the nation, I still think they would get it.

Let's see. To end the season, we took 2 of 3 from both Florida and Georgia (good). We swept Auburn on the road (good). We lost two of three at home to MSU (bad). We swept Arkansas on the road (good). We went 0-2 in Hoover (bad).
I wouldn't call that a spiral. If we had lost 2 of 3 to Arkansas, then maybe. We've had two bad weekends recently. I wouldn't call that a spiral. We're still 7-4 in the month of May.
Our RPI is low because we lost to Saint Louis and Liberty. It's also down because we had two games with TCU (who is a top 20 RPI team) rained out. That hurt our SOS badly and it wasn't something that was our fault. It's not like we were avoiding playing a tougher non-conference schedule, rain just didn't allow us too. I've read two seperate articles saying that would be taken into account. Even if we had lost those games, playing both of them would likely have raised our RPI 2-3 spots.
We're going to host, but we aren't going to be a national seed.
