RPI matters and that’s why State is hosting over Arkansas.


Arkansas just beat #3 Auburn on a neutral field and didn’t move an inch in the RPI. Not a single spot……

Blah

I don’t want to watch us get smoked by UGA again. GT would be ok I just want a non SEC team

Georgia is a bad matchup for us with our lack of bullpen depth and their bats

State hosting and Arkansas not hosting. Wow.

Why? State is ranked ahead of Arkansas in most eveey single metric(RPI, KPI, DSR, SOS, etc). The only advantage Arkansas had was more Q1 wins, which was offset by State having 0 Q3-4(bad)losses while Arkansas had 5, and ELO. Arkansas did win head to head 2-1, but it was at Arkansas, and they had 20 SEC wins to State's 18, but the unbalanced SEC schedule makes that not as big of an advantage than in the past.

The point here is for Arkansas not to be mad at State. A resume like State's has never been not selected as a host. Be mad at USM, West Virginia, Kansas, or Oregon. One of those stole your host bid not State. If the committee, which I'm sure they did, just didn't want another SEC team hosting, then that's unfair bullshite.

My sources are telling me it was close, but they gave the tiebreaker to the team who has actually won a natty in baseball.

Likely they just didn't want to give the SEC 8 of the host sites.


DEI in action. They decided the outcome they wanted, and then worked backward from there. I hope every SEC team wins its regional and then takes as many CWS spots as possible. I want those committee members to have so much SEC Cock on their breath that no dentist will see them.

It truly is not right, college baseball is ruled by the south and the NCAA wants parity as much as it can stomach it. Y'all are getting screwed as a result of it. Hope y'all give whatever regional you go to hell

Just compared St. to Arkansas on Warren. State has Arkansas beat in almost every category. State earned a host spot over pigs, get over it.

My guess

1 UCLA
vs
16 Oregon vs 17 Oregon State

2 GT vs 31 Tennessee
vs
15 USM vs 18 Ole Miss

3 Georgia vs 30 Mercer
vs
14 Nebraska vs 19 Arkansas

4 UNC vs 29 Coastal Carolina
vs
13 KU vs 20 Wake

5 Texas vs 28 Ok State
vs
12 WVU vs 21 Oklahoma

6 Auburn vs 27 Cincinnati
vs
11 Miss State vs 22 UVA

7 Alabama vs 26 Missouri State
vs
10 A&M vs 23 USC

8 Florida vs 25 Miami
vs
9 FSU vs 24 Jax State


1 & 2 might flop
3-6 interchangeable
7-10 interchangeable

No idea where to put USC or Missouri State

100%. Either there or Georgia Tech. Will always take my chances with mediocre home field advantages regardless of team talent. We gotta win a damn regional first

You split with us lol.

Welcome to SEC baseball, where you can finish sixth in the conference and be considered one of the four best teams in America entering the postseason.
