RPI up 15 spots in the last week to 39
Opportunity this weekend to gain some more ground
These next two weekends are MASSIVE for RPI. If we could find 3 wins in the next 6, our RPI would skyrocket.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
8-4? I hope so!
