We should move back inside the Top 20

LSU was still ranked? LOL.
We should get a good bump up in the polls
LSU shouldn't have been top 20 anyway. FLorida was criminally overrated and their record honestly doesn't deserve to be top 20. Kentucky is criminally underrated and should be top 5, and Bama shouldn't drop much because of that. NC State shouldn't drop because we didn't drop after losing 2/3 to A&M. Wake should be top 20 but not sure VT drops out of the top 20.
Ultimately, we had a home series vs an unranked team and won 2/3 by the smallest margin possible. 3 games all tied/us losing in the 8th inning. An UGA error the only reason we didn't drop the series outright. Honestly, neutral site we lose that series. We shouldn't drop because of it but it also isn't a "feather in our cap" so to speak worthy of bumping us up
Georgia was just outside the Top 25 and has the country's HR leader as well as one of the nation's most potent line-ups. You're acting like we played ****ing garbage this weekend. Our fans are such morons. Georgia is highly likely to make the Tourney and very dangerous
I love it tho- so many posters said this team would suck and Lemon was a waste. Surely to be fired.
We are about to be ranked in the Top 20 and 6-6 in the SEC so far when fans expected a 3-9
Nowhere did I say they were garbage. I agree they will make the tourney and honestly, they should have been ranked higher than us going into this weekend. We got a massive bumb by beating LSU that wound up being fools gold, but I disgress.
I'm speaking "ranking logic". The polls said we were ranked and UGA not, therefore we SHOULD win 2/3 on a neutral field. Add in homefield advantage, and the fact we BARELY won 2/3 isn't something that should make the poll creators impressed and move us up more than they had us.
Series most definitely was a toss up. We won on error with our last at bat. Two evenly matched teams. We all make mistakes about sports.
Doesn’t hurt my feeling being wrong. I like winning.
Were they? I hadn't seen it. Personally, I don't want to win ANY close game because I want to blow everyone out lol
OK, but if a "win is a win" then a "loss is a loss" and you've got to account for our awful non-con record and RPI. And we can't pretend the team has grown beyond that because 5 days ago we were getting destroyed by Central Arkansas
And we were without our third baseman for some reason and our catcher.
I still don't understand how they didn't have to sit both theirs out and how the guy that got the HR was still able to play today.
I hope that isn't over.
My goodness then you haven't been reading the board. For the last 2 week's multiple posters have been saying we have no clutch players because we keep losing one run games. Go look it's not hard to find because I've debated them on it. You don't watch other college teams play do you? I can tell because if you watch teams from around the country(outside of a very few)you see the same thing you're complaining about us about. We have talent we have toughness. Our pitching and defense has been stellar and that's what wins in baseball. I challenge you to watch some other teams play and you might just find out we're pretty good.
Let's see how the season plays out.
Without looking it up ... this team probably ain't far off from where the Natty team was relative to SEC W/L. Now non-conference is probably different tho. We do need to do better there.
ETA: Not saying we're an Omaha team but I ain't seeing too many SEC teams that are wowing me. Arky, UK, maybe Vandy.
