Your first 8 are all inside the top 75 of rpi, so they haven't had weak schedules before this weekend

RPI is useless in March- you know that

OOC play is almost over, so not sure I agree it's uselsss

[Lord McBuckethead]

No it?s not. I would take their RPI at the moment.

We are only 25% in the season. We play the hardest SEC schedule in the conference. RPI is a non-factor. 14 SEC wins and we are in.

[Saltydog]

You know as well as I do we aren't winning 14 league games........Ain't happening.........

[Coach34]

Fla/St Marys 9-9 in the 9th

It's mind blowing we have fans that are defending this crap schedule. RPI aside, challenge your team. Entertain your fans. Have some respect for the program.

Ding, Ding, Ding........No, we have a coach who knows his ass is on the line so he goes out trying to fatten up his record with cupcakes.....

Scheduling is about getting to the Tourney

Fans have been entertained and get to watch the country's best conference for 5 home weekends.

[Coach34]

St Mary's 11 Fla 9 in the 10th

[Tbonewannabe]

At the end of the season, if Lemonis misses the tourney because of RPI then it is his own fault. Getting into a Regional is the floor and just making a Regional probably doesn?t save his job.

We honestly need to be competitive in the SEC. No more getting run ruled on the regular. Last year was embarrassing.

The problem is that you think just getting to the tourney is acceptable for our program.

Kentucky vs Kennesaw State and lost Game 1
Auburn vs Austin Peay
SC vs Longwood
Georgia vs Northern Colorado
Fla vs St Marys
Vandy vs Ill St
A&M vs Rhode Island
LSU vs Xavier
Mississippi vs Morehead St
Mizzou lost to Purdue -Fort Wayne
Kentucky has played Washington St
and Kansas
Auburn has played Virginia
SC has played Clemson
Georgia has played Michigan State and GT
I can keep going but my point remains
Is Austin Peay are hardest opponent?

[bigbub50]

Nobody can get elitedoggers rowled up like 34

[BigDawg81]

St Mary's 11 Fla 9 in the 10th Haha. Florida walked it off

It was good enough for Polk and the rest. It's good enough now

It is acceptable for basketball , so I guess just making the tourney is good enough for Baseball too.

[Saltydog]

And it wasn't the Mt. Saint Mary's that we played. It was Saint Mary's out of the West Coast Conference, which has some decent teams. Mt. Saint's Marys (now 1-10) that we beat up on was busy getting beat by that juggernaut Lehigh.

Long term no it's not. This year? You ****ing damn right it is after the last 2 years.

Yeah, ours is #298 in rpi out of 305 teams. St Mary's is #236, so not that much better, but better

You mean SOS right? As I type this our RPI has gone up 35 points since Sunday. We're at 157 now. Not good obviously- but we're starting to see some really volatile swings in RPI right now across the board and we're trending in the right direction. As long as we win Sat and Sun we should be OK. If we win enough SEC games we will be fine. If we don't win enough SEC games RPI doesn't matter anyway.

Sorry, our "st Mary's" vs Florida's st Mary's

[Todd4State]

Gotcha

[msudawg1200]

Please stop with all of this. Our OOC is unadulterated trash, and you know it.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Typically I am not a fan of bad non conference schedules, but we needed it this year to work out the kinks. The SEC schedule will determine whether we make a regional or not

[confucius say]

Our schedule has been meh.
But that's fine. We needed it.
League play will be the deciding factor.

[Todd4State]

Sure. But it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. Playing an "interesting" or "competitive" schedule- pre season tournaments, brand name teams like Arizona State, etc. is as much for the fans as it is anything else really.

The ultimate goal is to win a NC and to do that we have to do well in SEC play.

[Coach34]

APeay blows out Auburn today 15-6. Peay should be 2-0 vs them right now. Big game tomorrow
St Mary's beats Fla. Should be 2-0 also but blew it like Peay
Kentucky getting butchered by Kennesaw St 2 days in a row
Mizzou loses again and drops series to Purdue-Fort Wayne.
David Lipscombe scored 13 on Bama today

What's more relevant is our won/loss record is basically in line with most SEC teams. Most teams have 3 losses and we're sitting at 4. Alabama and Georgia have 1 but I'm not sure they're legit yet. Arkansas has 2 and LSU and Tennessee have 1 and A&M have 0 and I believe those teams are legit.
