Those are pretty strong 2 and 3 seeds to be sent to a Natty Seed.
Why do you think the Beavers are not going to host?
I have no idea why I posted Oregon State when I was thinking Oklahoma.
1. TAMU
2. OU
3. DBU/Lamar
4. Sacrificial team from the northeast
DBU is in a bad slide right now. They could still turn it around and move up the ladder, and they've played (and beaten) some decent non-conference opponents. But their last 3 weekends have been series losses to Western Kentucky, Air Force, and Louisiana Tech. Problem is, their last 4 weekends are against fairly weak teams that won't help their RPI - at FIU (RPI 103), Jacksonville State (166), Liberty (153), and at Middle Tennessee State (237). Their 2 remaining midweek games are SFA (298) and UT-Arlington (147).
DBU has nice single games wins against OU (18) twice, oSu (25) twice, Arizona (29), and Alabama (17), and they did beat RPI 31 San Diego in 2 of 3 one weekend, but outside of that, their best weekend series win is winning 2 of 3 at RPI 87 Sam Houston.
While Lamar has a gaudy 30-8 overall record, their RPI is only #52. They did sweep RPI 18 Oklahoma in Norman, but after that their best wins are single game victories over RPI 54 Illinois-Chicago and RPI 87 SHSU.
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
