Yes we get in as a 3 seed!
Yes we win a game! Beat the 4 seed
Yes we lose two games! Lose to the 1 & 2
No we don't make a Super Regional!

We would have to beat the 2 seed first.

No. If we lose to the 2 seed we'd play the 4 seed in a losers bracket game. (Unless the 4 beats the 1 in the other 1st round game.)

Yes. #3, Lubbock.

If we drop to 3 I would be surprised if they let us stay that close to home.

Yea, plenty of negative crap getting thrown around this board by people who very obviously don't follow college baseball.

For those who don't know (several apparently), a regional bracket plays as:

G1: 1v4
G2: 2v3
--
G3: G1WvG2W
G4: G1LvG2L - elimination - we would have to lose to a very bad team to be 2&Q, assuming we lose G2
--
G5: G3LvG4W - elimination game - chalk says we play the 2 seed again
G6: G3WvG5W - elimination game for G5 winner; assuming the nay-sayers are right, this is a first opportunity to play a really good team
--
G7 only if the G5W wins G6.

I say yes, we make a regional as a 3. I think we win game 1 and game 3 on pitching. I think we get our hears ripped out in games 6 and 7 when we run out of pitchers and bats against the 1 seed.

South Carolina may be about to take TAMU's spot.

Think we should be a 3 seed, but I had a bad feeling when SCAR pulled ahead to go 3-1. Still feel like we're in, but there's definitely a reason to be sweating and that's not due to BAS.

I just have a terrible suspicion that one of us (RPI 46) or Auburn (RPI 45) will get left out with the way the conference tournaments worked out, and we both have 16 conference wins. Coin flip. I am officially nervous.

I am too ... just too many upsets today ...

Pretty sure we will be in... but never know I guess

In

I sure hope we are in, but the nervousness is exactly why I didn't like hearing RC say we could breathe easier after one win vs arky and any of the talk on here about not giving our all(with staff decisions) in the SECT because it "didn't really matter" and there were bigger goals out there.

We didn't have that luxury this year.

However, I do think we'll be probably 3rd or 4th to the last team in the field.

An SEC team with 16 wins in conference has never missed the tournament. Ags are in easy.

---

I fear this year that stat will change.

I didn't feel great about chances BEFORE these upsets. I really think that IF we get in... it's the last team in.

I'm thinking we'll see...

Houston, TX
1. UofH
2. Whorns
3. Ags
4. Rice

Would be a fun regional. Paired with TCU in the supers.

There is definitely times it's a waste of resources to watch the game. The trip is a different calculation

Rice as a 4 seed? No chance that happens... Maybe Throw Texas Southern in there as the 4 seed and it would be more believable.

Coach made a mistake not going all in against Mizzou. Had a chance to move up a couple of critical spots with some wins in the tourney. Then the doomsday scenario played out with all the upsets in conference tourneys. If we get in, it will be one of the last couple of spots.
I hope I'm wrong but I don't think we do. Limping to the finish line and being on the bubble is a combination that rarely ends well. Add in our weak non-conference strength of schedule and we're in real trouble. I think the selection committee will go with hotter team who played tougher teams during the part of the season they controlled.

We have the series win against them. Their finish was even worse than ours.

Again. I have never attended an Aggie sporting event that I thought was a waste of time and/or resources. Not one. Not even after the fact ...

The only issue I have with RPI is the wild fluctuations of the season ending tourneys. Teams moved up 20+ spots based upon a season ending tourney to which each conference does differently.

I think this might be the year that RPI could hit us when the bubble burst. Miami Rice Oklahoma State made huge strides but all had .500 or worse records either conference or overall going into their respective tourneys

I understand some teams won the tourney and got the auto bid but no way the collective season Oklahoma State or Rice should be above us

Just block him, it's much easier that way

We played them at home; winning 2 out of 3 is an expectation and won't necessarily be held against them as a deciding factor. Auburn is 13-12 against the top 50, and 18-15 vs. the top 100. We are 10-16 vs. the top 50, and 16-20 vs. the top 100.

Not saying they will get in over us, but just that if only one of these two teams was to be taken, it is a coin flip at best.

Auburn finished 3-7 in their last 10 games. A&M finished 2-8.

----

Auburn's big edge is its 5 series wins vs. top 50 opponents:

#3 Florida
#14 Arkansas
#28 Miss State
#32 South Carolina
#37 Ole Miss

the Ags can't come close to matching that

Id go ahead and put Frog2017 and add tickets to your cart

Then get ready for horrible sitelines...wooo'ing......and purple

It's still a two loss and out tournament, it's kind of the rules!

Got a bad feeling today. I hope I'm wrong.

4 days is considered full rest in the pros. Hill went 5 innings. Is a full week considered a requirement in college? If so, why? If it is than I guess there was nothing to be done and we just aren't good enough (or maybe are just barely good enough).

A full week isn't necessarily a requirement, just the way it is done because of the scheduling. 15 or so weeks of pitch, 6 days off, pitch and the body/arm is used to that. Reduce it 33% in a week and you have no idea how the body/arm will react.

Edit - that 6 days isn't just "off", they have bullpen sessions and other things they do during the week, so you're looking at a significant change to their routine in a sport where routine is everything. Missouri held Houck out the weekend before to keep from using him on short rest, then we hit him hard. How much of that was we just had his number and how much was he wasn't sharp because of the change to the routine?

Going to say we get in. Still had a winning record in conference. I think that bodes well for us.

I'm not sure. I don't feel good about it, and I think this team has no one to blame but themselves if they don't get in. 2-9 in last 11 is rough. Bats disappeared and the fielding dropped off the map. Pitching was wildly inconsistent. Some good. Some great. And some awful.

But, I think this is a bubble team the committee should like. We are deep in the pitching category, which makes for a dangerous regional 2 or 3 seed, which makes for some possible attention-grabbing drama. This is what they should want. We have a team very capable of making a deep run in the entire tournament and that is a big factor in my opinion. This team will go as far as their arms will take them, and that could be a long way depending on what arms show up over the next 2-4 weeks. Maybe I'm just talking myself into us getting in!!!
