San Fran is #242. So we need a sweep. Too early at this stage but I'll take it. UNO 1-3 is in the top 10 and we play them two games next week. Miss St is the only SEC team ranked in the top 50.

Surprised our SOS isn't much higher. I know Pepperdine and SELA aren't the same teams as last year but they are good programs and we played all of them on the road.

Only one SEC team in the top 50 as far as RPI, but somehow 9 of the top 30 ranked teams are in the SEC. SEC bias is everywhere.tpstulane wrote:San Fran is #242. So we need a sweep.

Robert, seriously we are 4 games into a 56 game season.

Yep. When they start playing each other in conf watch their RPI's soar. LolRobertM320 wrote:Only one SEC team in the top 50 as far as RPI, but somehow 9 of the top 30 ranked teams are in the SEC.

The conference is 39-7 so far, their RPI's will (and frankly should be) high soon enough. I mean they have had a team in the championship game for 7 straight years. Should they get ten teams in the tourney, of course not, but they hold so much power with the NCAA cronies.
Most pad their non conf schedules with home series'. LSU would never schedule a road non conf series like Pepperdine. They only play away in the MM tourney in Texas vs 3 different teams. No road series once again this year. They always claim the SEC schedule is all they need to boost their RPI.mbawavefan12 wrote:tpstulane wrote:Yep.

I wasn't being serious about the rankings. Maybe sarcastic. But I do think it is kind of ridiculous at any point in the season. I would bet if you took the 12 AAC teams and put them in SEC uniforms and had them play each other, people would rank 6-7 schools in the top 25. I'm not saying the schools in the SEC don't have good teams, but its the same thing we dealt with in the 80's with the California schools. You'd see California teams with a 13-11 record ranked while a 22-3 Tulane or UNO team were barely getting votes. And the excuse BA and Collegiate Baseball had was that they were playing a lot of ranked teams. Yes, a lot of mediocre California schools playing each other proved nothing. As for SEC getting a team into the championship game 7 years in a row, I guess if 8-9 of the 64 teams in the tourney are from the SEC, the odds are pretty good one is going to make it to the end.mbawavefan12 wrote:Robert, seriously we are 4 games into a 56 game season.

I agree, Pepperdine has a whole lot of players back from a SuperRegional team. SELA was a tournament team. The SOS is a head scratch-er.winwave wrote:Surprised our SOS isn't much higher.

By the way, check out Rice's pre-conference schedule, it's loaded!

Four games into the season these ratings mean nothing. Why would you post. The three game series with SanFrancisco this weekend even if we sweep will drag our RPI down as they are the worst team in the nation. Why would Coach Pierce schedule them?

ajcalhoun: Nobody here gives a flying fuck about UL-L and the Sunbelt Conference.
Rice did load it up. I guess w/the conference being so week they figure they had to do that to get where they want to go.DfromCT wrote:I agree, Pepperdine has a whole lot of players back from a SuperRegional team.

WestCoast newspaper coverage is never a bad thing in College Baseball.... just remember that San Fran played, Texas Tech, a top 5 rated program, to open the season on the road... Tulane cannot take any series lightly....hell last year people asked, why the hell did you schedule Tulane, they are terriblecajunfanatico wrote:Did he actually make the schedule?Jonathan wrote:Four games into the season these ratings mean nothing.

Fact: SF is NOT the worst team in the nation. In fact, they've moved up since this thread started. They are now #235, and there's over 260 teams in the rankings.Jonathan wrote:Four games into the season these ratings mean nothing. Why would you post.

The San Francisco series is a return for us getting to play in the tourney at AT&T park last year w Cal, USF and one other team. We could not have gotten in that tourney without the help of Scott Sidwell, but I am guessing this series was part of the negotiated deal.
AAC beats SEC (UCF over Ark.)

I will say it again. We need to sweep this series to get any respect. Sadly the respect is only good for another week. Coach Pierce I would love to see a West Coast home and home series with UCLA, Cal Fullerton,Stanford and the University of Southern California(USC)!.Also from the state of Florida ,Florida State,Florida and Miami. What about Georgia Tech ,Duke and Alabama?
Houston has won their series over Bama.
