The problem with "rpi needs" in baseball or basketball is that there are way too many variables with this much season left. Other teams are playing and winning or losing also. I guess it is fun but it means nothing.
However, if we get 9 wins, I think top 8 is extremely deserving.

To his point, not if all the teams in front of us keep winning too

Actually, that was my point. If all teams win and we win 9, we deserve top 8.

But since that would mean we beat Florida or Arky, all teams in front of us can't win. And teams do not "deserve" anything. They have to earn it. Basically what rpi needs says that if we win it is good and if we lose it is not so good.
Maybe. But my point is nobody knows because there are other teams playing too.HoustonAg2106 said:dermdoc said:caleblyn said:HoustonAg2106 said:caleblyn said:dermdoc said:

I read somewhere that Florida can lose their remaining SEC and be a national seed still as long as they don't get swept by any of them

Dakota Mills is still at Sam. Odds are he will be on the bump against us.

If we could win two at Arkansas that would be great. They are really good at home however with their crowd support. Do we even think about moving Kolek to Friday and pitch Dox and Kilkenny Saturday and Sunday ?
I don't think so but lately they have been beatable on Sunday especially.
We'd deserve a SR if we pull that off. That would be:TempleAg97 said:
Cap - That is extremely accurate. All three starters are VERY good, but not quite elite aces.
It will be interesting to see if the committee would give us a host at 15-15 if our RPI is well clear of 16 (12, 13, etc).
Also while extremely unlikely, 5-1 plus beating Sam would get us into the top 8 of RPI. That would sure be interesting as then we would likely win the West as well.
Going to be a crazy and fun couple weeks as always!

Top 8 RPI
3 wins in the last 4 series
A sweep; two on the road (one against a top 5 team) and split with #1
Likely top 4 seed in the SEC
Would be a blast and it's nice to have it all out there in front of us, BUT, I'm still thinking
1-2 this week (although we catch Arkie at the right time)
3-1 next week (although we catch USC at the wrong time and Sam really needs this W)
4 wins in Hoover
14 seed hosting at Blue Bell matched against OSU (the western one).
And yes, I LOVE the end of the baseball season in the SEC. If we can keep errors under 1 per game, we will be in very good shape.
