so why would you put 15th in the nation in a second tier. With beating Clemson Liberty we're the only SEC team thats actually played a good team (Tier one and tier two wins in RPI) and you put teams in your artificial top tier with 0 of those. But i guess sweeping teams like Dayton and UMASS-Lowell is good enough.





You certainly aren't the only SEC team that played one good team. Also, it's mid-March, RPI and using tiers is silly. South Carolina had a nice 2/3 from Clemson that was very good. The rest of your schedule is exactly what you are making fun of (Liberty, Winthrop, Utah Valley St, App St, Citadel, Gardner Webb, Valpo) and included are 2 losses to Liberty and Gardner Webb.

You are really good like most of the SEC - when conference play starts we will see a lot more.

I'll wait until the half way point of the conference season to rank the teams. However, clearly the Razorbacks are the top team.

I don’t know why but I thought your ace was a 1st RD draft pick type of talent.


Campbell is legit when he is on. So far, he has been “on” this season for the most part. Hog fans are a little tentative with him because of injury prior and he was hit or miss last year.

Liberty was a good team. They beat ranked Wake Forest the week after us.

Well, if you want to say Liberty is a good team then you are going to have to acknowledge about 40 other mid-majors as "good teams", which negates your point that only South Carolina has played "good teams".

I don't - I look at them and say "yea, top 15 team". That just happens to fall somewhere in the middle of the pack in the SEC right now because the SEC is insane.

Dude, lay off SOG. Good lord.

I mean, to be perfectly honest all you are talking about is South Carolina's HR totals for the year, but ignoring that your team is ranked 12th in the league in batting average, 12th in the league in on base pct., 10th in the league in hits, and first in the league in strikeouts.

Pitching so far for SC hasn't been good either. So yea, it is easy to see why SOG would have South Carolina ranked where he has them at this point.

And they are 10th in ELO right now, which just basically means they have been good against a decent schedule but nothing insanely good.

I think most would agree they aren't a bonified elite team, so they could slot anywhere in that 4-10 range probably.
