re: Baseball Polls - May 11

Using just RPI at the moment these would be the nation seeds

Dallas Baptist 1 0.627
UCLA 2 0.608
Florida State 3 0.605
Miami, Florida 4 0.605
Louisiana State 5 0.604
Texas Christian 6 0.604
Florida 7 0.602
Texas A&M 8 0.600
Louisville 9 0.592
Missouri State 10 0.590
Illinois 11 0.588

However, thats not the way the seeding is going to shape out.

Realistically its going to be like this

Already national seed locks due to conference performance

1)LSU
2)UCLA
3)Louisville
4)Illinois
5)TCU

#1 RPI (Lock for a national seed just not sure of the number)
6)Dallas Baptist

That's 6 spots already taken

Realistic Teams fighting for the last 2 spots
Texas A&M
Florida
Florida State
Miami

*Notes
Texas A&M has the best Record but the lowest RPI
Miami has the highest RPI but they are lowest in the polls. The also have the hardest remaining schedule according to RPI.
Florida State has the head to head series win over Florida and Miami but shite themselves against inferior opponents.
Florida is middle of the road in every measurement between the teams.

Texas A&M and Florida really don't look vastly superior to Miami or FSU


So the final seeds will be something like this

1)LSU
2)UCLA
3)Louisville
4)Illinois
5)TCU
6)Dallas Baptist
7)Florida/Texas A&M
8)Miami/FSU

A 3rd SEC team realistically needs Dallas Baptist to unravel in the next couple weeks to prove the computers are having a derp moment.

or

A&M and Florida advance deep as in the SEC tournament while Miami and FSU flop
