RPI Watch 2025

[The Federalist Engineer]

Mighty Mo is changing the Equation!

They take 2 from TAM! This is dropping AM's RPI by -14 points since Friday Morning. I guess losing to Mizzou is not that horrible

MSU leaps Troy in RPI

Might be in play for a low 2-Seed?

Missouri catches fire just as we are about to play them. At this point nothing guaranteed about winning that series.

[CaptainObvious]

Maybe one of the most historic battleships in our great country's history that didn't even get to showcase her power because of the sneak attack! And Japan was one of the first countries the US defeated that US taxpayers had to pay to rebuild! I still hate whipping that ass and then putting it back in one piece! Just like Ole Miss in football. One of our worst coaches whipped that ass two years in a row, and in essence helped to rebuild their crappy program by forcing them to go out and hire Kiffin, who now owns OUR ass!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Florida is playing like a National seed these days. Someone is going to get a very bad paring with those guys.

#16 RPI but with a sub-500 SEC record.

There could be a few nasty SEC #2 seeds heading to Empty ACC stadiums

[Coach34]

Florida still has a shot at hosting

[The Federalist Engineer]

RPI is up to 30...is MSU in #2 seed territory?

+2 after Thursdays win over Mizzou.

7 wins away from hosting.

[Quaoarsking]

I would expect to be a 2 if we get to 15-15 and don't have a bad loss in Hoover.

[Coach34]

Fla is pissing their pants this last weekend

[Coach34]

Nasty Bunch up to 24 in RPI and they are about to beat Troy again tonight. They sweep Troy and the Nasty Bunch could easily host

If they do host, MSU will be sent there. The NCAA likes doing that.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Kentucky blows two 9th inning leads versus Vandy this week. Can't be helpful to MSUs RPI.

But they were also a last 4 In the Regional team. Brutal.

[KB21]

Unless their AD on the committee has major pull, Southern Miss will not host. Not with Coastal Carolina pretty much guaranteed to host from that conference. Likely host sites, in no particular order: Texas, LSU, Arkansas, North Carolina, Florida State, Auburn, Georgia, Vanderbilt, UCLA, Coastal Carolina, Oregon, Oregon State, and TCU. The three remaining sites will come down to Alabama, Clemson, Ole Miss, NC State, West Virginia (fading hopes of hosting), and Dallas Baptist.

No they can't. Only move up 1 RPI spot. They basically have to win their tourney to have a shot. Coastal won the conference, so they have to beat them.

[Todd4State]

The problem is our RPI is going to be in the 30's. I think for us to be a 2 we're going to have to make a run in Hoover.

[MetEdDawg]

Looks like we are slotted to be either a 10, 11, or 12 seed in the tournament. RPI sits at 33 currently.

Being the 10 would get us South Carolina. You win that and you are playing a team like Auburn, Tennessee, Florida, or Bama in round 2.

Win those 2 and you probably get inside the Top 30 since these are at a neutral site and your next game is likely against a Top 10 RPI team.

[Skydawg1]

11 seed, late game vs A&M, winner gets Auburn, winner gets LSU. I really like our chances.

[Coach34]

No they can't. Only move up 1 RPI spot. They basically have to win their tourney to have a shot. Coastal won the conference, so they have to beat them.

Ya’ll say that like we didn’t just watch a team with a 28 RPI host last year

[Cooterpoot]

Ya?ll say that like we didn?t just watch a team with a 28 RPI host last year

And they got roasted for it. Two teams from the sunbelt, the #9 conference in America this year, won't host and Coastal is locked in. Sites will be determined prior to USM getting a shot at Coastal.
But, these days, this stuff is wild like you said.

[Todd4State]

Ya’ll say that like we didn’t just watch a team with a 28 RPI host last year

Yeah because someone on the committee last year wanted to **** us over.

[State82]

Yeah because someone on the committee last year wanted to **** us over.

That was some inexcusable BS that happened last year.

[Tater]

Yeah because someone on the committee last year wanted to **** us over.

And when we win the SECT they can make it right for us.

[Coach34]

That was some inexcusable BS that happened last year.

And it could happen again is all I'm saying. Saw a projection today with Ga Tech hosting as the 14th seed with a 20 RPI. The Nasty Bunch is right there at 21 right now. Anything can happen with these committees and they arent going to give the SEC the 10 host spots it deserves. Coastal is already a lock to host.

[confucius say]

USM AD is on the committee.
That's why ECU hosted over us last year.

Then MSU should stop playing them in Baseball and develop a Tulane series. And, dump them from Regionals at every chance. And never play them in Football or anything else.

I have been for this for years.

For clarity, I'm saying the ecu ad was on the committee last year and that is why ecu hosted.
And USM ad is on it this year.

I know. Some people on here act like I just casually make up shit.

As basedog said and I’ve been saying same never ever play USM in football or baseball. Especially playing any games at their place. STUPID! All it does is use us as a measuring stick for their programs. Yes we generally win but why risk it and promote their programs. Don’t give them the chance or the monies or prestige of playing us.

I also agree with this. I find their fan base insufferable.

[Todd4State]

I heard it was the AD from UCLA that had a problem with us hosting. No idea why.

We should do like Clemson and South Carolina does- play them on a weekend once in Starkville, Pearl, and Hattiesburg. Evaluate their players and then poach the best ones.

Our team with Middleton and Cody Allen probably means that Lemonis is still around.

[Todd4State]

I am for playing Tulane regardless whether we play USM or not for the record.

[Skydawg1]

I am for playing Tulane regardless whether we play USM or not for the record.Ditto! I casually follow Tulane and love thier stadium and Uptown NOLA.

[HoopsDawg]

I heard it was the AD from UCLA that had a problem with us hosting. No idea why.

I know for a fact, the last host spot was between us and Duke. Then out of the blue they gave it to ECU.

[Todd4State]

Ditto! I casually follow Tulane and love thier stadium and Uptown NOLA.

It is pretty nice. They have a nice beer garden. Pretty easy to park at or if you are staying in the French Quarter or Uptown it's easy to get there via streetcar with about a mile walk.

Interesting.

[PGHBulldogBG]

SEC deserves 8 hosts this year. Texas, Arkansas, UGA, LSU, Auburn, Bama, Vandy and Tenn. UF I could argue they came on strong late but they are fringe. OM and OU solid 2 seeds. State and UK as 3 seeds. ATM, USC and Mizzou better luck next year. This is of course unless one of the non 8 hosting makes a run in the sec tournament which could bump them up

[Coach34]

Tenn has lost 5 SEC series in a row and are not hosting unless they get some wins in Hoover

Baseball America field of 64

* MSU to Myrtle Beach as a #3.
* With Coastal, NC State, And High Pointe
* They still have Kentucky's a #2, so they are not paying attention.
* they have some sorry #2's like Duke, Louisville, and NCSU
* if Florida wins the SECT, I think they leap into a Host. The RPI is already high enough.
* Auburn is a shitty National seed
* if MSU can down TAM and Auburn, this makes MSU a #2? I think so.

Seeding doesn't matter, 2 and 3 play on the same line regardless.

[Quaoarsking]

Seeding doesn't matter, 2 and 3 play on the same line regardless.

It kinda matters, because if you're a 2, you (theoretically) have to play a worse team in game 1, maybe even a team that was almost a 4, and if you're a 3 you have to play someone better, maybe someone who almost hosted.

[Pancho]

i doubt we are near a 2 now

Only matters for location. We're either going to be at FSU or Oregon, Low 2 or high 3

[State82]

Coming in at 33 now. Down 3 spots from where we were starting the SEC tournament.
