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

They will get in? I doubt we would have got in if we had won 15 SEC games.
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.
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
Unfortunately om will get in, they won't last long but they'll get in. Probably in hburg regional.
Unlike us, they did what they needed to do to get in.
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
By RPI - the 8th to 11th best SEC teamsQuote:

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 leaguesQuote:

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

Bama got in last year with 12 wins.Quote:

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

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.
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.
I dont see any way McDonnell goes to Mississippi. He already has a better job with a national brand.
I tend to agree with that but this is a connected shark fan giving this info.
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.Quote:

Why do they think he has this emotional attachment to them?
I'll believe it when I see it.... I.e. Dan mc being the coach in OxfordQuote:

He could change his mind I guess, but I doubt it.
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.
But you forget that Oxford is the greatest college town in America and everyone is dying to move there***Quote:

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.Quote:

By the way, Is Mingione a coach on the hot seat?
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.
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.
Memphis just hired a coach. Kerrick Jackson who was at Southern.Quote:

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.
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.Quote:
