Highs in the 30's in Lexington this weekend, can't imagine it will be warm in CoMo either....

[quote]The ACC is nearly as good as the SEC. Both conferences have 8 or so ranked teams.[/quote] The ACC is a good league. Only other conference to have 4 teams make the CWS in a single year :cheers: But the SEC West has done that twice...

[quote]If you have five permanent opponents, that would leave ten to rotate, so you'd play 5 and 5[/quote] This. Keeps meaningful series intact and allows you to mix Texas in with some of the programs that actually give a shite about baseball....

[quote]to be fair, there already is a weird imbalance. Right now you play 6 permanent series against your division and then rotate the remaining 4 series among the 7 from the opposite division with no real rhyme or reason as to why. For instance, since the 2012 expansion LSU has had series with Flor...

2 permanent opponents also create a weird imbalance in the non-permanent rotation (8 non-perm series rotating between 13 schools). You could fix it by having 5 permanents and 5 rotating (between 10 schools) and still playing everybody every other year....

[quote]UCLA[/quote] Too banged up, Kansas or Gonzaga coming out of the region....

[quote]I remind myself and others of this during the Astros current run. It's not normal to make the ALCS 6 years in a row, make 4 WS, and win 2 titles.[/quote] Sounds like State 2016-2021, SEC Championship, 5 straight Supers, 3 straight CWS, a national championship, and then... well y'all saw it...

[quote]All signs are pointing that way. There was pushback from the top but I think that's settled[/quote] Good, y'all wouldn't want to choke this one away, might come back to bite ya...

Ole Miss will surely have a stranglehold on the conference...

State to hang "2022: Undefeated Against SECRant Poster Monahans Non-biased Tier 4 Teams" banner soon. Should probably leave room for the 2023 one, as well....

[quote]How solid are those predictions?[/quote] Unless LSU is going to start playing Tulane on Thanksgiving, I would say they got at least some of it wrong...

[quote]I’m quite certain the SEC is going to base any decisions on expansion based on potential revenue from TV market share and not the opinion of some random a-hole on a message board. [/quote] In the age of streaming TV markets mean nothing, it's not 2012 anymore. Biggest brands will get ...

Ohio State's Friday guy's numbers look really good. Should be a good game tonight....

[quote]MISSISSIPPI STATE ESPN : #11 vs #11 Wisconsin (Play-in) (winner vs #6 SDSU) (Last 4 In) Athletic : #10 vs #7 Maryland (#37 overall) CBS Sports : #11 vs #11 Rutgers (Play-in) (winner vs #6 Duke) (#43 overall)[/quote] I would rather be a play-in game 11 than a 10...

[quote]We have a cakewalk into the tournament with an easy game this weekend[/quote] [img]https://media3.giphy.com/media/M4qe1RDEMurDyxHy1B/giphy.gif?cid=ecf05e47chhp5jtpsd74treorm5p82le6qtgmlo7uqlqcoxu&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g[/img]...

[quote]I see you guys are still pretending anyone actually cares about this third-world sport. Someone get these poor people an app subscription to MLB.[/quote] recruiting board is open if you want to go talk football in March...

[quote]It does possibly hurt La Tech from a good win (not a guarantee that was going to happen) perspective due to their strength of conference schedule.[/quote] Yeah, that's the duality of it. We all say midweek games don't matter, because they don't, for us. A 2 game series sweep at Ole Miss...

[quote]Ive never seen where the score goes back to what it was prior.[/quote] It has to, you can't give one team more outs....

I think most folks are giving Ole Miss shite just to give Ole Miss shite. The game was never going to finish, even if they tarped the field....
