While you can never say 100% sure with a committee, and teams with RPIs in the 20s have gotten left out before, I think we should be totally safe at 14-16.Quote:

2 out of 3 should do it.Quote:

Selmon deserves all the credit in the world for making the move when he did.
I think the one thing we have going for us is I suspect (just a guess) that the committee will look at RPI less this year because of conference realignment causing some teams to play lower RPI teams in conference play- for example MSU vs Mizzou. A SEC team having a RPI of 150 is unheard almost for a SEC team but not just that there are some ACC teams with low RPI's as well.Quote:

I think the committee is going to look at where teams place in their conference some and base some decisions based on that. That's why I think we're a 3 seed because if you look at where MSU is in the SEC standings we're 12-13 depending on what Kentucky does this weekend and I think the SEC is only going to get 14 teams in. So, I think if we can get to 11 or so in the league standings I think we can get a 2.
BUT to do that I don't think we can afford a loss the rest of the regular season. A&M lost 11 RPI points when they lose to Mizzou. So if we lose a game I do think we would get in still but we would almost without question be a 3 seed. If we lose two games we could be in big trouble- in others words I don't think we could get in with 13 SEC wins. And 14 with a loss to North Alabama and one loss to Mizzou might have the same effect.
I think the fear there was more our team getting hot and going on a run. If he made a SR I don't think we would have fired him. I don't think this team makes one anyway.Quote:

I will say that this happening this weekend will make our ass take them a helluva lot more seriously now. We are still playing for a Regional spotQuote:

(4) Helps the MSU coaches have their immediate futures to consider
(5) Seems that TAM gave up this weekend. Shocking.
(6) Jackson Lovich (SS at Mizzou) is a baller. Just walk this monster. Got 8 hits, 7 RBI, 3 Runs, 0 Walks on TAM.

I'll go to Corvallis. There are 5 high quality breweries a short Uber ride away from the Goss Stadium.Quote:

There are plenty of non-P4 teams with better resumes. Coastal Carolina is likely to host, and if they want to give out another bid, it's more likely to go to Dallas Baptist, UTSA, or Northeastern.
Having said that, I really hope they do host and we get sent there. It will be 2017 all over again.
They won't give it to DBU. Stadium is small and no on campus parking. Like NONE. They have like 150 spots for visitors on the entire campus.Quote:

Is Chase Hungate done for the year? What was his injury? Was that information ever released?
Mid-series update:
We've probably done it! Even if we lose tomorrow and Tuesday, I'm about 95% sure we'll still be in. Great turnaround by the team!
We in. All thats left is where we go
We going to be on the west coast or FSU if I'm betting
I wouldn’t bet against that.Quote:

Florida State makes sense, assuming we're one of the lowest 2 seeds, we'd probably get sent to one of the best 1 seeds, but most of those are from the SEC, so there's not many other choices out there. I could see Troy or Stetson as the 3 seed geographically.
D1Baseball has us going to Tallahassee, but as the 3 with Northeastern as the 2.
Baseball America has going to Coastal Carolina as the 3 with NC State as the 2.
