For the RPI pearl clutchers

[ScottH]

Almost impossible to host

Correct. To hit top 16 per Boyds World we basically have to win out.

To add, barring a collapse we are a solid 2.

The higher you go the harder it is to move up. Easier to move 50 to 30 than 18 to 14.

Non con both SOS and crappy losses is our anchor.

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?
