Alabama finished 5th in the SEC behind Ten, UGA, Auburn, and Arkansas...but got a higher seed than 3 of those teams.


Honestly haven’t heard anything else. What’s the status of Montana Fouts?

It's pretty easy to figure out why certain teams are higher than some thought they might be

Record vs the RPI Top 50
- Oklahoma (29-1) (#1 seed)
- UCLA (27-5) (#2 seed)
- FSU (21-6) (#3 seed)
- Tennessee (26-8) (#4 seed)
- Alabama (24-15) (#5 seed)

Alabama played the #3 hardest schedule in the country. The only teams with more Top 50 wins than them are Oklahoma, UCLA and Tennessee. They played #7 Duke (W), #2 UCLA (L), #3 FSU (W), #10 Texas (W, L) out of conference in addition to the conference schedule.

- Arkansas (18-16)
- Auburn (18-15)
- Georgia (18-12)

#5 still feels too high - somewhere in the #8-10 range seems to make more sense. With that said, if Fouts is out they will struggle to make it out of their regional. The drop off is massive and their bats are "inconsistent" at best.
