    Yeah, ours is #298 in rpi out of 305 teams. St Mary's is #236, so not that much better, but better

    You mean SOS right? As I type this our RPI has gone up 35 points since Sunday. We're at 157 now. Not good obviously- but we're starting to see some really volatile swings in RPI right now across the board and we're trending in the right direction. As long as we win Sat and Sun we should be OK. If we win enough SEC games we will be fine. If we don't win enough SEC games RPI doesn't matter anyway.

    Please stop with all of this. Our OOC is unadulterated trash, and you know it.

    Typically I am not a fan of bad non conference schedules, but we needed it this year to work out the kinks. The SEC schedule will determine whether we make a regional or not

    Our schedule has been meh.
    But that's fine. We needed it.
    League play will be the deciding factor.

    Sure. But it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. Playing an "interesting" or "competitive" schedule- pre season tournaments, brand name teams like Arizona State, etc. is as much for the fans as it is anything else really.

    The ultimate goal is to win a NC and to do that we have to do well in SEC play.

    APeay blows out Auburn today 15-6. Peay should be 2-0 vs them right now. Big game tomorrow
    St Mary's beats Fla. Should be 2-0 also but blew it like Peay
    Kentucky getting butchered by Kennesaw St 2 days in a row
    Mizzou loses again and drops series to Purdue-Fort Wayne.
    David Lipscombe scored 13 on Bama today
    Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

    What's more relevant is our won/loss record is basically in line with most SEC teams. Most teams have 3 losses and we're sitting at 4. Alabama and Georgia have 1 but I'm not sure they're legit yet. Arkansas has 2 and LSU and Tennessee have 1 and A&M have 0 and I believe those teams are legit.
