I mean there’s still 5 power conferences, not 4. And I believe someone pointed out that the pac12 has an RPI ranking of 6th. They’re not even the 5th best power 5 conference at this point.
May 27, 20241 yr aggy is 3-5 in their last 8 games so it's not like they've been playing like a juggernaut. Let's knock them out of their own regional and taste their tears.

They struggled early in the year against better competition then put some things together and cruised through the Sun Belt before dropping both games of the conference tourney. They are good on the mound, probably around average at the plate.
May 27, 20241 yr This is great. We could easily lose twice and never even play aggy. Or they could beat us like they should this year, and who cares. Or… there’s the little nonzero chance that we win their regional. Texas can’t disappoint, but it can surprise. And wouldn’t that be a fucking hoot. Edited May 27, 20241 yr by Pato del Muerto

But maybe you throw Ace game 1 knowing he’s more capable than Grubbs of potentially eating 7-9 innings. Still would rather have Ace’s grit for game 2

Still would rather have Ace’s grit for game 2 maybe go Grubbs but we are bad enough and don't have a clear number 1 that I think we just have to throw our best matchup/pitcher against Louisiana. crazy thought..maybe we just throw LBJ and see if he has his stuff and save both of them. if we lose, beat Grambling with whoever and still have Grubbs and Ace for the next 3 games. It is hard to believe we are in this position with pitching.

May 27, 20241 yr Florida is interesting. 0-1 versus the Big 12. 0-1 versus St. John’s. They split with Jacksonville and Stetson. Were 0-3 versus FSU losing by a combined 30 runs. A number of relatively close wins versus poor teams. Lost their only tourney game when it could have been considered win or else. Beat two SWAC teams by 3 runs each (UCF beat one of those teams 14-1).

I’m just happy to be in a regional somewhere before going O-2 and barbecue. I did not really think we deserved a bid. Edit: Stillwater. The three other teams each have at least 10 more wins than Gata. lol. At least the streak of regional invites is still alive, questionable though it may be. Edited May 27, 20241 yr by Gatorubet

Which is why we tend to lose games 10 to 8. It wouldn’t surprise me if UF won the regional, but I don’t think the effort over the season earned the chance. Is UF one of the top 45 or whatever at-large teams? Most likely. This RPI shit is stupid. Probably because it doesn’t fit my narrative. Having a Q4 game against a conference opponent, from a top 3 conference, is not the same as beating a SWAC team. I firmly believe that conferences and teams work that system to their favor. Kudos to them , but it’s a weak system when that’s so easily done.
