Agreed. I ultimately came to the same conclusion after going through the formula.
That being said, I thought it would be interesting to come up with a grading scale for each year.
My initial thoughts.
+10 Make NCAA Tourney
+10 Win Regional
+10 Win Super Regional
+10 Make Final
+10 Win National Championship
If you used this (removed any pts for Regionals/Supers because those changed and it's hard to equalize it out) (10 pt NCAA App, 10 pt CWS, 10 pt CWS Final Series/Game, 10 pt NCAA Champ)
1. LSU (640 pts)
2. Mississippi State (540)
3. Florida (520)
3. South Carolina (520)
5. Arkansas (440)
6. Texas A&M (410)
7. Missouri (330)
8. Alabama (310)
9. Vanderbilt (300)
10. Ole Miss (290)
11. Auburn (270)
12. Georgia (230)
13. Tennessee (170)
14. Kentucky (70)

Wow, you are like a calculator. :D
No wonder you won poster of the year!
IMO, the formula needs to be tweaked.
(1) Weighted by Year - A NC in 2021 should be worth X more than a championship in 1950. A sliding scale of some kind. This is a bit tricky as you don’t want it to be too complicated.
(2) Maybe add Y points for each win in Omaha and subtract Z points for each loss. Currently there is no difference between finishing 3rd to 8th.
For example, Vandy has 20 wins in 5 CWS. That is ridiculous. I haven’t counted the losses but it is a lot less than 20. Whereas a team like Auburn has 3 wins in 5 CWS.
(3) Should a Regular Season Conference Championship have value? It already has a little bit of value as you would get a higher seed in the Regionals, etc.
(4) Same question as #3, but with the Conference Tournament.
(5) What about overall wins? A team that goes 60-2 with 2 losses in the CWS to a team that went 62-0 should probably receive more points than a team like Fresno State that sneaked into the tourney and ended up winning the whole thing.
Just some thoughts.
Thanks for doing that calculation.

As a simple calculation, I think making CWS should count as 20 points (instead of 10) as it would imply that you won the Regional and Super Regional.
