State's RPI is good because they have played some great teams, not because they have beaten great teams. State hasn't won a series against anyone with a better than .500 record in the conference and my money is on that not starting the last 2 weeks of the season.
Vanderbilt
LSU
Arkansas
South Carolina

I'd be willing to venture that the NCAA places RPI atop their list of determining factors when deciding who hosts a regional.
So imma get all tangled up inside the RPI.
Also State could just as easily steal the series from South Carolina and Ole Miss. If you want to host a regional over us I would start praying.

Gonna post this again since it was the last post on page 1:
I know this has been a running joke and Arkansas fans will probably take this as a flame, but whoever put together your OOC schedule really dicked y'all. There is no excuse for having an SOS of 62 when you play in the SEC.
If it was based solely on the eye test, Arkansas should get a host before Miss St., but the selection committee loves RPI and SOS.

Agree.
One thing the top 4 SEC teams have in common is that they have a series win over one of the top 4.
State is 0-3 against the top 4 so far and 2-7 overall. Arkansas is 1-1 and 4-2. LSU is 1-1 and 3-3. No need to discuss Vandy.

State has a much better chance than Arkansas. If Arkansas runs the table, they will have a better chance.

If they love the RPI so much, explain Kentucky last season getting hosed and LSU being left out all together 2 years ago.
Arkansas played good teams OOC this year, so I am not sure why it is reflecting so poorly. Nothing any different than any other year.

I think State needs to get to 17 conference wins to feel safe. 16-14 would be cutting it close.

It all depends on the last 6 games. If we win both series (Ole Miss and South Carolina)... Then we will be hosting a regional regardless of what Arkansas does.

Explain also why Florida finished third in the SEC last year, but was the number 1 overall seed.

Series against UNO (RPI: 272), Evansville (RPI: 197), Western Illinois (RPI: 249) and Mississippi Valley St. (RPI: 297) negates any good opponent you play. No other SEC team in contention played more than 5 games against teams with an RPI over 240 and Arkansas played 7.

Check that, make it 9 games. Arkansas also played 2 games with Alabama A&M (RPI: 293).

Committee uses different factors every season. It may be RPI 2 years ago and then OOC scheduling the next. Just how it works. No one will know how it will be critiqued this season.
Posted on 5/5/13 at 9:28 pm to Broski
The committee does it different every year. You can't argue they go on RPI when each year it changes. If they went just on RPI, 5-6 SEC teams would host every year.
As to Arkansas...that's fine information...but Arkansas is also 6-2 in SEC series this year with a sweep of a top 4 SEC team and has not been swept all year. If a committee really looks at teams closely, they will also see the two series Arkansas lost, were decided in game 3 and both in extras.
But as I said before, each year they change. The last few years they have awarded mediocre teams out west and neast host sites.

IMO we have win both series, or sweep OM and take 1 from USC to host. Gotta go 4-2 and get to 17 wins. 16-14 won't cut it unless we make a run in the SEC tourney like last year

More times than not, especially when it comes to hosting, it's because of RPI and SOS.

You really think the committee looks at run differential???

Another thing non top 4 teams have to worry about is one and done in Tourney play. Top 4 are double elims as always with first round being win or go home.
Posted on 5/5/13 at 9:33 pm to Broski
Run differential? I'm saying in our two series losses, game 3 in both series went to extras. One 13 and the other 11. Again, nobody knows what they look at and how deep they look.
You can argue RPI all you want, but it's not as big of a factor as you lead it on to be.

It's much bigger than speculating that the committee is going to sift through every schedule and look at how close teams lost series.
All I'm saying is this:
I think Arkansas is the better team.
I think Mississippi St. has the better chance at hosting.

Committee will also factor that State has the better overall record than Arkansas despite playing a tougher schedule.
And by Hawgeye logic they are going to see that MSU only lost by 1 and 2 runs in their two losses to Arkansas.
