I figure it’ll be easier to keep all of today’s releases in a single thread. We cracked the Baseball America Top 25.
#6 East Carolina is one row below #21 Oregon. What's confusing about that?It's a me problem I'm sure, but my brain can't process that ranking format.
Is it? Their best series win is vs UGA, and they lost 2 of 3 vs UT.Kentucky at 9 is comical… put LSU logo on their record and where are they ranked?
Yeah Kentucky is good but the first half of their SEC schedule was very manageable. Still, they deserve major prop for starting 14-1, but they’ve lost two series in a row now.Is it? Their best series win is vs UGA, and they lost 2 of 3 vs UGA.
We'd be about the same if we hadn't choked away two vs UF and one vs UM (plus a couple of early season slip-ups).
If they can take the Arkansas series, the conversation drastically changes, but I'm skeptical they can.

D1 moving us from NR to #16 proves Kendall Rogers loves the "Are we hosting?" tweets.
Don't be embarrassed, we all end up Deutsching ourselves every once in a while.**State is #16 in D1. I can't read twitter at work so if that was posted above - Germans to myself.

To get to the top 16 in the RPI, we have to basically win out. We can afford one loss at Arkansas or to Ole Miss according to Boyd's RPI Needs Report
That's an interesting report, but it says that our remaining schedule is seven home games, four road games, and one neutral site game. What is the fourth road game?To get to the top 16 in the RPI, we have to basically win out. We can afford one loss at Arkansas or to Ole Miss according to Boyd's RPI Needs Report

It wasn't reflecting Saturday or Sunday yesterday. Seems to update it late in the day with the previous days results.It shows our RPI as 28. I assumed that was after our win on Sunday.

Yes… if LSU had the #3 RPI and was tied for 1st in the SEC with 9 games left they’d be ranked first or second in the country.Is it? Their best series win is vs UGA, and they lost 2 of 3 vs UT.

KPIWhat is KPI and is it involved here?
I was listening to SEC softball game yesterday and the announcers were talking about how bad the RPI was and using the KPI instead. Do they have this metric in baseball?
Damn. That thing like it some SEC & ACC. Top 13 are 6 SEC, 5 ACC, plus East Carolina & Coastal Carolina. It’s probably better than RPI, but even the biggest southeast homer would have to agree there’s some bias in its algorithm.
It’s not bias as much as it is the SEC and ACC plus a few select mid majors are the only schools that give a sh*tDamn. That thing like it some SEC & ACC.

I'd think Duke is the most likely team we'd have to steal a hosting bid from. RPI is 21, and there's two other regionals likely to be in their home state. The next best candidate to steal from is probably South Carolina, with their weak conference record (albeit against a really rough slate).2-seed at #13 Duke paired with #4 Tennessee

We were up to #16 in the D1 poll before dropping the series at OM, then we went to NR. That was a bit of an overreaction by D1. If Amani Larry fields a ground ball in the bottom of the 11th, then we win that series and would have stayed ranked in the mid to lower teens. Since that OM series, we're 8-1 (5-1) with a neutral site victory over that same OM team.D1 moving us from NR to #16 proves Kendall Rogers loves the "Are we hosting?" tweets.
