Ole Miss Baseball Elimination Watch

[The Federalist Engineer]

So OM baseball won 14 games, D1 says they are 3 seed.

But

Alabama (12-17) has won two SECT games and Kentucky (12-18) beat Auburn and plays Florida (15-15) for their season tonight.

Alabama is now 40 on RPI and OM is 39.

Kentucky is 52

[Leeshouldveflanked]

They will get in? I doubt we would have got in if we had won 15 SEC games.

[KOdawg1]

The biggest thing to watch will be if any teams that weren't expected to get in the tournament end up winning their conference tournament.

OM needs the chalk to hold.

[Coach34]

A couple of upsets by teams not expected to get in could make it interesting- but I think they are in. 32-22 and 14 SEC wins is a Tourney team unless a Bama or somebody like that starts winning some conference tourneys

[Commercecomet24]

Unfortunately om will get in, they won't last long but they'll get in. Probably in hburg regional.

[Hambone]

Unlike us, they did what they needed to do to get in.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Ole Miss will get in as a 3 seed, but their success will be dependent upon the regional. SEC will get 9 in and possibly 10 if Bama keeps making a run

[The Federalist Engineer]

By RPI - the 8th to 11th best SEC teams

#25 Florida
#39 Ole Miss
#40 Alabama
#52 Kentucky

OM has 14 regular season wins, that has been enough in most seasons. Kentucky has 12 wins, I don't recall a 12 win regional participant

Seems like there was one a few years ago that was 12-17(got one rained out) that had a high RPI or whatever term they used back then. I think they also made a run in the Sec tourney though, so that probably gave em a boost in a down year for other leagues

[Todd4State]

I can't see a SEC team that won 14 games not getting in.

[Todd4State]

They will get in? I doubt we would have got in if we had won 15 SEC games.

LOL. Our final four or five opponents had RPI's in the top 50. Our RPI would have been good enough with 15 wins.

[Commercecomet24]

I can't see a SEC team that won 14 games not getting in.

Agreed. The last 4 years no sec team
with 14 wins has been left out and historically it's been almost a sure thing as well. Its the best conference in baseball and why 9-10 teams get in every year.

Bama got in last year with 12 wins.

[confucius say]

Bama got in at 12-18 last year.

Prob will get in again this year. They were 12-17 and are now 14-17, same record as OM and they swept OM. Plus Bama Strength of schedule is top 5, much higher than OM.

[ScoobaDawg]

Let them in... they don't get in that might be enough to finally kick Bianco to the curb.

[Pancho]

Rumor is that he himself looking for a landing spot.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Rumor is that he himself looking for a landing spot.

What is the landing spot? LSU is taken. Would Strickland go off script and take him to Florida?

[StarkVegasSteve]

What is the landing spot? LSU is taken. Would Strickland go off script and take him to Florida?

USCe or Kentucky if they fail to make it again. Either would be prime landing spots for Bianco.

We need to hope they keep him though. They might luck into a good coach like Link Jarrett. McDonald is not taking that job and Godwin does not scare me AT ALL. Jarrett scares me A LOT. In fact him and Cann would be the only two coaches that would scare me there.

[Pancho]

If he leaves and steps down on his own, McDonnell is the guy. Dan won't come if Mike is fired. Usc is where I think Mike will possibly land. Also hearing Lafferty is high on the Memphis job.

[PGHBulldogBG]

McDonnell will probably go to Ole Miss if Bianco is let go. I am more confident he will be their coach though than his ability to do much better than Bianco. I think the results will be fairly similar but maybe a trip to Omaha once in awhile but I don?t think anything fantastic.

[Coach34]

I dont see any way McDonnell goes to Mississippi. He already has a better job with a national brand.

[Pancho]

I tend to agree with that but this is a connected shark fan giving this info.

[TNDawg35]

McDonnell will probably go to Ole Miss if Bianco is let go. I am more confident he will be their coach though than his ability to do much better than Bianco. I think the results will be fairly similar but maybe a trip to Omaha once in awhile but I don?t think anything fantastic.

McDonnell ain?t going to Ole Miss. Dude was wearing a MIssissippi State Polo at the CWS last year and his wife was wearing a t shirt. Him and Lemonis are very VERY close. He ain?t coming here to be in this rivalry.

Quit believing everything they say. Every year at the end of the season it?s always McDonnell is gonna be our new coach? blah blah blah? I don?t understand why they think he would drop everything he has built and come there. Dude was just an assistant and went the the Ville and built them along with Lemonis. Why do they think he has this emotional attachment to them?

[Homedawg]

I'll believe it when I see it.... I.e. Dan mc being the coach in Oxford

[confucius say]

Dan has stated publicly he isn't taking the OM job if lemonis is at state. And by public I mean to people in Omaha last June.

He could change his mind I guess, but I doubt it.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Dan cancelled the Indiana/Louisville series when Lem was at Indiana. On multiple occasions he has stated that he will not play Lemonis unless it is the postseason and he has to. They were the best men in each other?s weddings. But yea I am sure he will come to Oxford so he is guaranteed to play him 4 times a year.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Why do they think he has this emotional attachment to them?

But you forget that Oxford is the greatest college town in America and everyone is dying to move there***

[Coach34]

These are people that tried with a straight face to say Tony Dungy was interested in their football job

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

By the way, D1 Baseball now has the sharks in the First Four Out. A couple of bids were stolen last night.

[The Federalist Engineer]

By the way, D1 Baseball now has the sharks in the First Four Out. A couple of bids were stolen last night.

Out on the basis of Pitt being alive in the ACC, with Kentucky and Alabama milling around Hoover. OM is under threat, but Pitt is a long shot with a bad RPI. As I click, Bama is tied 6-6 with UF.

If missing the NCAA ends the Bianco administration, how do we feel about this?

By the way, Is Mingione a coach on the hot seat?

[SteelCurtain74]

Kentucky beat LSU this afternoon. Would love to see them beat Tennessee tonight. They were currently listed in the first four out.

Pitt is currently losing 5-0 to NC St. Not sure they will come back. NC St. has been swinging a hot bat in the ACC tournament.

[Todd4State]

I stand by what I said a couple of days ago- Ole Miss will get in with 14 wins.

I also stand by what I said about McDonnell not going to Ole Miss the past 15 years.

[Todd4State]

If he leaves and steps down on his own, McDonnell is the guy. Dan won't come if Mike is fired. Usc is where I think Mike will possibly land. Also hearing Lafferty is high on the Memphis job.

Memphis just hired a coach. Kerrick Jackson who was at Southern.

[Commercecomet24]

I stand by what I said a couple of days ago- Ole Miss will get in with 14 wins.

I also stand by what I said about McDonnell not going to Ole Miss the past 15 years.

Agree on both.

[BeardoMSU]

I'll bet you a shot of your (or mine, if I lose) most hated liquor that OM won't get in. Friendly bet, Todd, lol.

[BeardoMSU]

Take the bet Todd!!! Before USM comes back and wins their game!***

[Todd4State]

I'll take that bet!

[BeardoMSU]

I'll take that bet!

Lol, awesome!

The worst thing I've got in my bar is Pernod; I use it for cooking, but as a drink its a black licorice hell broth.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I will post a "Tennessee Collapse Watch" string, it would be awesome if they went 2 and Q, but I expect to be hating Tennessee all the way into the championship series and as they dog pile in Omaha.

[starkvegasdawg]

If they do, they do. We did it last year. If it's not us doing it again this year then I don't care who does. Probably won't watch one pitch of the CWS.

[Todd4State]

Lol, awesome!

I think the worst thing I've ever had was this old fashioned moonshine in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It was like drinking rubbing alcohol.

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

The Ragin Cajuns just stole another bud by winning their tournament.

[TNDawg35]

The Bubble is getting dangerously small right now…

[Skydawg1]

La Tech is in.

[KOdawg1]

OM is in trouble.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

TJ McCants needs to check his phone.

[Coach34]

This is going to be one of those crazy years in which they get left out its looking like. Lots of bid stealing this year

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

Michigan stole a bid. The bubble may not exist.

[The Federalist Engineer]

According to D1

LAST FOUR IN:
61. Alabama
62. Ole Miss
63. Old Dominion
64. UTSA
—
FIRST FOUR OUT:
65. Clemson
66. San Diego
67. Pennsylvania
68. Pittsburgh

D1 has OM in the Miami v Louisville pairing

I see OM in Hattiesburg, the Rebels maintained an RPI inside the 40s.

I think that's from earlier this week. Today's projection had OM as one of the first 4 teams out. That was before several other bids were stolen. It doesn't look good for them.

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

D1 just said they expect 8 SEC teams being in. After the four hosts, that?s Arky, LSU, UGA, and Vandy

[Todd4State]

With stolen bids remember a lot of times an automatic bid just takes that conferences bid and not the bid of a SEC team.

In other words Louisiana getting a bid probably means that some other Sun Belt at large won't make it.

Personally I think Auburn getting a host bodes well for Ole Miss.

[sandjunky]

D1 doesn?t have them in or in the first four out In latest projections

[OLJWales]

The Ragin Cajuns just stole another bud by winning their tournament.

They musta stole it from me cuz I can't find my stash.

[Pancho]

possible 3 seed in miami

[confucius say]

Is Cohen still on the committee?

[Leeshouldveflanked]

possible 3 seed in miami
Look at Pancho calling it.

[msstate7]

NC state has to hate the ncaa. Last year's CWS and left out

[Hambone]

Whelp this was an entertaining thread.

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

SMTTT and sharks regionals paired up

[StarkVegasSteve]

NC state has to hate the ncaa. Last year's CWS and left out

And this is why it generally a bad idea to trash the NCAA for 8 months and going around calling yourselves the real national champions.

[Captain Falcon]

SMTTT and sharks regionals paired up

I could see USM winning their Regional, LSU?s pitching situation is pretty rough. I have a hard time seeing OM making it out of Coral Gables. Bianco has never won a true Regional away from Oxford and I don?t think this is the team to do it. Especially a national seed?s Regional with a pretty good 2 seed in Arizona, too.

[Commercecomet24]

Most of us have said it all year a 14 win sec team is not getting left out of the post season. If it was gonna happen this would've been the year with the way things went in conference tournaments

[Todd4State]

Yep! Although it looks like Ole Miss barely got in.

Going to make firing him a little harder now.

Recent history has shown that how you do in the SEC Tournament matters very little. Unless a team like Alabama won it and got the automatic bid.

[PGHBulldogBG]

No idea why our fans thought a 14 win SEC teams with an RPI in the 40s would be left out. Some of our fans have such blinders with Ole Miss it?s laughable. Just like the people who say McDonnell wouldn?t take the Ole Miss job because he is best friends with Lemonis lol the things I read on here. Now maybe he won?t take the job because he is happy at UL but money talks if they pay him more.

I don't think it's that. I think our fans tend to overvalue RPI sometimes.

[Commercecomet24]

I don't think it's that. I think our fans tend to overvalue RPI sometimes.

Yeah while rpi is important it's more important to teams not in the sec. When you play baseball in the best conference in the country the conference record is looked at more than rpi. A 14 win sec team has proven they deserve to be in.

Save me google time. What's Pernod?

[State82]

Probably nasty.

[OLJWales]

Probably nasty.

Cuz it's French? Lol

[dawgoneyall]

No Dales??????

[BeardoMSU]

Probably nasty.

It is. "Something nasty" was the theme of our bet.

[ScoobaDawg]

Save me google time. What's Pernod?

A anise- flavored liqueur.. Close to absinthe. Commonly used in cocktails... Not really for straight sipping.

You want to honor a nasty bet. I expect him to have some malort.

Would not surprise me IF Ole Dixie wins the Miami Regional. Strange year in baseball.

Love some sambuca.
But I do like black jelly beans also.

[Pancho]

One of my shark friends has just informed me of a potential tropical storm heading toward Miami.

[PGHBulldogBG]

I?ll be curious to see what Campbell does in that Tennessee regional. I really liked their team last year and I think Justin Haire is ready for a big time job. 4 regionals in the last 5 years. Not that I think they will win it, but I would love to see them beat them just one game. Haire was extremely complimentary of our fan base and MSU as a whole when he came here. He is not a coach I want in the SEC anytime soon

The Sec has many good coaches, one more ain't goanna matter, it's the best conference in the country top to bottom. Adding Texas and Oklahoma will make it even more competitive. I don't think we will see any one team or program dominate like Bama does in football.

I'll be extremely surprised if they do.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Elimination Watch is a matinee tomorrow from Miami

12:55 First Pitch CST

vs Arizona

Should be a wild game with Arizona generally scoring but not stopping many teams. The Arizona Ace has a +5 ERA.

[Pancho]

I think this AZ pitcher is who they hit pretty well last year in the super.

[Hambone]

I know for some weird reason y’all are super excited to watch Ole Miss play, but there is a tropical storm coming through and that regional may get pushed back, or however they do these regionals.

[basedog]

Ole Dixie will beat Arizona today. I got some vCash to prove it, LOL!

[BeardoMSU]

Would be funny if they can't get a game in and Miami advances by default.
