For the RPI pearl clutchers

[Coach34]

RPI up 15 spots in the last week to 39

Opportunity this weekend to gain some more ground

[StarkVegasSteve]

These next two weekends are MASSIVE for RPI. If we could find 3 wins in the next 6, our RPI would skyrocket.

[Turfdawg67]

I know you are desperately trying to drive clicks and such, but "Pearl Clutchers" and "Woke"... are dumb go-to phrases that don't really mean what you are trying to say. Lol.

ETA: No one was offended or shocked... really just embarrassed by such a pathetic and justified RPI. And we're all glad it's in the rise.

[Cooterpoot]

RPI is poor enough to say we have almost no shot at hosting without winning every series and midweek games. It's also poor enough if we fart around, we could miss a regional.

Almost impossible to host

[MetEdDawg]

We can forget hosting unless we can find a way to win the rest of our series. And even then it's a crap shoot.

We missed opportunities to limit the damage by losing games we were leading in the late innings and catching some early season and mid week losses to bad teams.

Austin Peay has a 186 RPI, Central Arkansas has a 225 RPI. And we lost too many close games against trams that would give us some more Quad 1 wins and boost that RPI.

We are on pace to be a two seed that has the capability to beat or lose to any team we play at any given time.

So what? We will be one of the most dangerous 2 seeds out there

[ScottH]

Almost impossible to host

Correct. To hit top 16 per Boyds World we basically have to win out.

To add, barring a collapse we are a solid 2.

The higher you go the harder it is to move up. Easier to move 50 to 30 than 18 to 14.

Non con both SOS and crappy losses is our anchor.

That's a good summary of our situation.

There is a path for us to host. We'll probably screw it up.

I think if we can find a way to 17-18 wins there is a very good chance we could host. Our RPI may (probably) will adapt to reflect that too. We're now in the top 40 and almost every opponent has a higher RPI than us right now. Even if our RPI isn't there I think the committee would strongly consider us for a host spot if our RPI is in the teens or low 20's. That's likely what it would be with 17-18 SEC wins. Right now technically we're the 5th place team in the SEC tied with Vanderbilt.

RPI doesn't account for mentality or mental errors. No matter the RPI or the hosting situation, this team will find a way to lose. Has any other baseball team ever acted like they don't give af as much as this group seems to do at times?

[basedog]

Looking back, TAM are really good, Lsu maybe average but we won the series, Flordia way overrated and lost the series, Georgia second best team we played and won the series, Ole Dixie and Auburn, not good teams but we went 4-2 in those games. So I think we are much improved but a very little underachieved right now. Win the Vandy series and are were we should be overall in Sec I think.
Vandy as well as Msu will be motivated, if Vandy losses series they most likely want host or at least be on the bubble. They are beatable, so lets go Dawgs!

Have you seen us play on the road? We're not good against the better teams outside of Dudy Noble.

Yes- I watched us lead Florida for 25 of the 27 innings we played. I watched us battle A&M until the end in G1 then split Sat/Sun

I don't get this vibe at all.

The path is so razor thin it's not even worth talking about unless we go nuts and sweeep this weekend. Which ain't happening based on up til now.

[confucius say]

Neither is anybody else. Go look at ark on the road. Lost at Bama, barely won the series vs auburn, and barely won the series at usce.

[confucius say]

If we go 8-4 in the league and win our noncon games, we will be right in the thick of the hosting discussion going to Hoover.
The hosting bubble is thin this year.

[basedog]

8-4? I hope so!
