Oregon State finished with the #67 overall SoS.

their gaudy W-L record was definitely schedule-driven to some degree.

I don't think Long Beach is a top 10 team

After losing 13 guys to the draft, that is overachieving, no doubt about it. Loved my last three weeks getting to be in Houston, College Station, and Omaha. Thank you Coach Childress, players, and staff!

By my quick count, we were 7-14 against top 25 teams. I'd say a no. 10 ranking is a bit high.

I give Childress crap about lack of coaching, but he did a great job this year. Next year will have higher expectations.

Do a quick count of other teams ranked in the top 10 or 15 and see what their record vs. top 25 teams is. My guess is some will be better, some will be worse.

Ags finish #33 in Warren Nolan's RPI...which seems about right. Yes, it was a magical post-season run to the CWS, but we were no doubt aided by a very balanced regional, coupled with a massive upset of Davidson over UNC. If you look strictly at the body of work from February thru June, we have the resume of a team just outside of the top 25. But...thanks to our good fortune in the post-season...we got a bump up into the top 10 in the human polls.

Note: Listed below are all of A&M's opponents' final RPI for the season. My goodness our non-conference schedule turned out to be really weak this year. (I'm looking at you, Pepperdine...)

We finished 15-20 vs. the top 50...6-1 vs. 51-100 (one loss to Tennessee)...8-2 vs. 101-200 (losses to UT-A and Pepperdine)...and 12-0 vs. 201+.

I reckon I don't fully understand the point of these end of the year polls except these websites just want some added attention.

We went from unranked to 8th to 10th in most of them for beating Baylor, Iowa, Houston, and Davidson twice?

I'd actually be more interested in these things if they stepped back and just judged the full body of work.

And I'd give them more clicks and attention if they didn't so closely follow the NCAA tournament bracket. They'd actually add something to talking about.

That's why I posted the final RPI numbers as well. The RPI doesn't let the emotion of a 5-game winning streak to get you to Omaha get in their way. The RPI (while a somewhat flawed process) looks at all 60-ish games you play all season long and ranks accordingly.

We were indeed a strange case this year. We were a consensus top-10 team (which is great for bragging purposes), but our February to June body of work did not indicate we should have been.
