LSU will get out of their regional but it will depend on the draw for the super regional. Our bats aren’t where they need to be. Not even close, but your team doesn’t look great in that department either hahahahahaha
Agree.
Like most other top teams this season, if we get hot we’ll destroy, and if not, grind and hope to get some breaks.

All true
Also true: Auburn will still be seeded lower than LSU.

Has LSU lost a home series this year? We may have, I’m too lazy to look up.
I think we make it to Omaha, but not confident going forward.

Possibly. The committee does have a history of being lazy and not awarding teams for conference tourney success
If you’ve followed college baseball for 10+ years then you know that the committee puts almost no emphasis on conference tournaments. As in almost none.
What the committee does put emphasis on:
1 Regular season conference record
2 Your conference series record
3 KPI
4 RPI
Your beloved RPI is generally 4th on the list.

1-2 at Austin
1-2 at College Station

Ok. I’ll bite.
Regular Season Conference Record for SEC teams:
1. Texas (22-8)
2. Arkansas (20-10)
3. LSU (19-11)
4. Vanderbilt (19-11)
5. Georgia (18-12)
6. Auburn (17-13)
7. Ole Miss (16-14)
8. Tennessee (16-14)
9. Alabama (16-14)
Conference Series Records:
1. Texas (8-2)
2. Georgia (7-3)
3. Auburn (7-3)
4. LSU (7-3)
5. Arkansas (6-4)
6. Vanderbilt (6-4)
7. Ole Miss (5-5)
8. Tennessee (4-6)
9. Alabama (4-6)
KPI:
1. Vanderbilt (#1)
2. Texas (#3)
3. Arkansas (#4)
4. Auburn (#5)
5. Georgia (#6)
6. Ole Miss (#7)
7. LSU (#9)
8. Tennessee (#10)
9. Alabama (#15)
RPI:
1. Vanderbilt (#1)
2. Georgia (#2)
3. Auburn (#3)
4. Texas (#4)
5. Arkansas (#5)
6. Ole Miss (#10)
7. LSU (#12)
8. Tennessee (#13)
9. Alabama (#14)
Using your prescribed 4 metrics to rate the SEC teams and giving 9 point for a 1st place ranking, 8 pts for a 2nd place ranking, etc. produces a ranking like this
1. Texas (32)
2. Vanderbilt (28)
3. Georgia (26)
4. Arkansas (25)
5. Auburn (24)
6. LSU (19)
7. Ole Miss (14)
8. Tennessee (8)
9. Alabama (4)
If you want to weight the metrics in the order you ranked their importance, we could give conference record a 30% bonus, series records a 20% bonus, KPI a 10% bonus, and RPI no bonus, and this is how it comes out:
1. Texas- 37.3
2. Vanderbilt- 31.5
3. Georgia- 29.6
4. Arkansas- 29.1
5. Auburn- 27.2
6. LSU- 22.6
7. Ole Miss- 15.9
8. Tennessee- 9.2
9. Alabama- 4.6
Of course, these aren’t my rankings. These rankings are based upon Tammany Tom’s prescribed order of importance.
Even without largely counting Ole Miss’ run in Hoover it still shows they are not far off from the group.

Dude, nothings an exact science, but I think most baseball people are looking at a top 8 seed order of
Texas
Arkansas
Vandy
No Carolina
LSU
Georgia
Auburn
All getting top 8 seeds.
It doesn’t matter the order.

It seems to be his science experiment final I guess.
It’s fricking baseball with a committee picking teams. No science, lots of politics, and human opinion.

It’s exhausting. 6 SEC teams are going to get national top 8 seeds, and OM/Tenn are going to host as well. He needs to give it a rest.

Man I thought because of attendance and prestige and the fact that Perfect Game had LSU #1 last week that there was no way LSU wouldn’t be the overall #1 national seed. At least that’s what I’ve been told.
I guess pointing out LSU fans’ own prescribed metrics don’t show anything close to that now makes it “exhausting”. I’m sorry I forced you to reply. You know you don’t have to click on it.

You can tell the programs with not a lot of successful baseball history living and dying by RPI rankings.

You can tell the fans whose team played 10/32 SEC games against opponents who won’t make the NCAA Tournament and as a result have an RPI of #12 don’t like talking about RPI. I wonder why.
If you look at last season’s National Seeds, all 8 are in last year’s Top 8 RPI. If LSU was #1 in RPI this season, you all would be pointing that out and acting like it was the be all end all.
You people pompously acting like you know everything is the reason I keep pointing out the fallacies in your statements.

Find one person who said lsu would be the #1 overall seed. You’re building up strawmen to tear them down

I dare you to link where someone told you that…

So then according to you, the top 8 RPI this year are going to be the top 8 seeds, right? If that isn’t your assertion, then why even bring it up? You already know that other factors go into how it plays out so you playing that angle is just being intentionally manipulative.
That’s what people who aren’t confident do.

Well we no longer have an RPI of 12 lol. You may want to update the OP.

Because he’s obviously defensive at all things LSU baseball and desperately wants his program to be viewed in the same light. It’s such a weird comparison as we are in no way rivals with Auburn baseball. I’m sure both will be Top 8 seeds and we’ll see how each fairs.

I also think it has something to do with the fact his team isn’t close to sniffing .500 on the road, so the realization that Auburns only path to Omaha is to get a top 8 seed has set it
