Wrestling and gymnastics are top 10 or 15. We also bust out natties left and right in non-ncaa competition: disc golf(m+w), chess, racquetball, you name it.

UGA gave GT several different dates they’d be willing to go down to ATL to finish the game but of course GT said none would work.
ACC pussies.

I like the bat flip. I will never know why people find it offensive. You get a bat flipped on you, you probably fricked up royally.

If it didn't offend people no one would do it.

I’ll tell you this. In three games, we’ve had pitchers nail our guys and warnings be issued. Those pitchers, I wish we’d bat flip, but our guys always show good sportsmanship when they get their revenge.

Just not even remotely true. Baseball added the Quad system in RPI this year. There’s a very good chance that by the end of the year a win at Tech is a Quad 1 win. To say it would hurt us is just stupid
The RPI system itself is unchanged. There have been quality wins compiled previously with the RPI system (Group 1, 2, 3, and 4) but this year they’re just calling it Quad (1, 2, 3, or 4) wins.
Tech is sitting with an RPI in the 180’s and is likely a bottom 3rd ACC program this year, which does absolutely nothing to help Georgia’s resume, as you stated in your previous post.
If anything, as I stated, another game against them could hurt UGA’s SOS, which in turn hurts their overall RPI.
Not playing another game against a lowly program such as GT, is likely a blessing.

Wrong. They are differentiating between home and road this year.

You’re talking RPI before conference play? Lol

They were 2nd to last in ACC last year and still #67 in RPI. A road win over the #67 team would not hurt anyone’s résumé. Absolute lunacy to say otherwise

Hunter Henry tanks one!
3-1 Dawgs in the 2nd. It’s 77 degrees and perfect in Athens, stands are packed out. Love to see it

Always. Always. Always have there been RPI grouping wins and losses. Yes, this year they’re supposedly adjusting for road/home but nothing is showing on those metrics. The RPI system itself, has not changed. Again, they’ve always had “Group” of certain RPI wins/losses.

The ACC isn’t as strong this year. We also don’t know if UGA would have won or lost.
Again, my point is that not playing the game does not hurt Georgia. Playing the game and losing possibly could.
But I know your Mo and you’ll argue with a fence post…

The quadrants don’t make the rankings, it’s the other way around. However, the “quadrants” are still a criteria used by the committee. Therefore road wins are undoubtedly more valuable than before.

At the end of the season yes. You lose all credibility when you posted GTs current RPI like it means something. I suppose you don’t think Vandy is a Top 50 team either.

A. You have zero clue where GT will finish this year
B. Up 9-3 in the bottom of the 5th, you can take a good guess.

Adding a road game against a team with an RPI of 50-80 will not affect SOS much at all. However the committee looks at more than just RPI & SOS and a sweep vs GT would not hurt us by any means.

You’re way over valuing what you believe to be some huge change. It isn’t a big change, or really any at all. Which is understandable…you probably haven’t followed college baseball as closely as others.

So, what does that actually mean? Frankly, very little. I looked at eight examples of teams that in 2023 fell just on either side of the bubble for the tournament or hosting. In most cases, literally nothing changed in aggregate. Sure, some games move up or down a quadrant, but those changes evened out. Five of the eight teams (Arizona, Auburn, Boston College, Campbell and Southern California) had the exact same record in all four quadrants. The others didn’t see much change. Indiana State went from 9-1 in Q2 and 16-4 in Q3 to 10-2 in Q2 and 15-3 in Q3. Oklahoma went from 8-7 in Q2 and 7-4 in Q3 to 8-6 in Q2 and 7-5 in Q3. UC Irvine went from 16-11 in Q3 and 12-2 in Q4 to 13-11 in Q3 and 15-2 in Q4. None of the eight teams I studied had any change in their Q1 records.
None of that is moving the needle. The eight teams I chose were not random, but they were the kinds of teams for which a change in their quad records might have had an impact on Selection Monday. I didn’t see one. Now, the committee itself was shown more data than I collected and perhaps there’s some more nuanced change than I’m seeing. But this is not a sea change.

You still swept them. 2-0 is still a two game sweep.
You’re literally upsetting yourself over Georgia Tech. Now, if the discussed opponent was an Oregon State, TCU, or Duke OOC I could see your point…one more win over a high RPI team like those will move the needle…GT isn’t a needle mover.

I’ve never once claimed it was a “huge change” , just that I do believe it negatively affects our chances.
Like I said, they don’t just plug in RPI into the tournament seeding. I think a Friday night road win against an in-state rival would help our résumé. And I know Georgia’s coaching staff and AD agree.

Based on what? You’re making all kinds of wild assumptions in this thread. I used to run these threads before BigD took over

I'm fairly positive that Hawgeye has followed baseball a helluva lot longer than you Dudley.
