Both La Tech games were in Ruston, Missouri State was in Springfield and KState tonight was at Kauffman.
21-4 out of conference record. Four losses to Arizona and OK State in Frisco, at La Tech and Sunday game against Rhode Island back March 12th.

Not sure any on the above list helps SoS or RPI so not sure I agree it helps your national seed hopes.
Umm...yea...for one they're not losses.
Two, they're are top 15 RPI, 30 RPI, 50 RPI, 100 RPI wins on that list.
Yes it helps. Losing midweek games is what tanks a teams record and chances at national seeding. Winning at RPI 13 Missouri State helps. Winning at RPI 39 La Tech helps...beating top 100 Memphis at home and neutral site helps...beating RPI top 100 KState in Kansas City helps.
Midweek games are the difference between just hosting and being a national seed.

I am not denying the wins just saying which looks better on your resume
Splitting midweek with La Tech
Splitting midweek with #2 Louisville
Playing P5's gets more love because most media folks are lazy and it makes for better copy to sell more ads. ULL and SMiss are ranked and would have helped more is what I am saying.

How long have you followed college baseball?
Quite frankly, you look like you started following tonight by your comments.

Long enough to know the NCAA will give an ACC school a spot it does not deserve and to know they will clip a SEC school from a spot they do deserve.
The way baseball worked in the past may not be the way it works in the future. ESPN in the past 5 years is going deeper into broadcasting college baseball than they have in the past. If this trend continues, it will change the dynamics of the non P5's over the next decade. I could be dead wrong about this but think this is what will happen.
Just like the deal with the CFP has assured the B1G of an auto slot in the world of college football I can see the B1G getting a host in baseball every year wether they deserve it or not. I can see ESPN lobbying for ACC baseball to host. I can see the PACN lobbying for more spots in the post season.
This is less about following baseball and more about following the money.

You're getting off on some rant that means nothing to a point you were trying to prove and P5 schools being better wins than non P5 schools, which is a joke in baseball.
Money doesn't matter...If it did, the NCAA would not have changed how they awarded regionals starting about 10 years ago. If it were about money, the SEC would have 75% of the host sites wrapped up each season.
Thats not how it works, but nice try I guess going way off subject and coming off like some angry old fart who thinks the "man" is trying to put it to him.
