What was the RPI of the 8 national seeds last year?

[msstate7]

Would the sec get 4 national seeds? I doubt it... Usce, Florida, and aTm are all ahead of us in sec standings and rpi at the moment

[CadaverDawg]

I wonder what's the worst RPI to be a national seed?

Probably 20 something. Not sure.

But just like we can look at RPI history, how many times has a team not been a National Seed with 3+ series wins on the road of a National Seed or Host school + 18 or more SEC wins?

If we weren't currently considered a National Seed, I would agree that we need some sweeps and good fortune.....but right now we are likely the #5-#7 National Seed, so I can't see us winning every remaining series and dropping from the Top 8.

I may be crazy though

Yes, Kendall Rodgers even said he's starting to think that is likely. (Last week)

Plus all of those teams have to play one or both of the other, so we just need to keep winning series imo

Could happen...

Personally I think we may be better off hosting regional and traveling for super. We seem to play better on the road. Not as cool for a fan, but really think we'd be better off

True. I won't be crushed if that happens...we are a good road team like you said.

That could help us with sec standings, but they'll strengthen rpi lead

Baseball America just released their current projections and we aren't a national seed.

And playing on the road in the supers would help our RPI.**

We've got to pass aTm imo. Good news is they have a tough schedule left

Apparently D1 Baseball has us projected as the #5 national seed paired up with the Southern Miss regional.

That would be a sweet draw

The one common characteristic of those national seeds is they are all well north of 40 wins. I haven't researched it for past years but my guess is almost all have had 40+ wins which we won't have. Not that there is anything magic about that number. My main objective is host. Then let the chips fall where they may. Host, and Cohen has earned his keep in my opinion.

It could all become a moot point, because even if we aren't a National Seed we could still end up hosting a Super if a Natty Seed loses, which is very possible these days.

Yes. Just host the regional. Everything starts there.
