So that means that the team we play Friday won’t have a day off before they play us.

im rooting for the A&M/MSU winner against Auburn on Thursday now. If we play either of them they’ll be on their 3rd game in 3 days against us and we’ll have a fresh staff with Anderson on the mound. I like our odds there

here’s a conference champ auto-bid tracker. So far Holy Cross (Patriot League) and Columbia (Ivy League) are the first 2 teams with tickets punched to regionals.

Columbia has an RPI of 70, someone may be lucky to get them as a 3-seed in their regional if enough lower RPI teams win auto-bids where they land on a 3-seed line instead of a 4-seed.

ETA All 1 seeds are happy Yale lost. Jack Ohman would’ve been a tough ace to go against in a regional opener for whoever would’ve paired with them.

Besides SEC games other games of interest?

the Southland conference tournament auto-bid will go to whoever wins the championship series between UNO-Houston Christian this week. If UNO 27-24 (12-18) wins I’d think there’s a pretty good chance there’s our Baton Rouge regional 4 seed. I’d welcome that.

The AI deepfake videos are what really irritate me. I’ve seen ones that are so realistic outside of the dumbass shite they create the dialogue around otherwise you’d never be able to tell it’s fake.

I’m just waiting for someone high up to actually get caught saying something incriminating on camera in the coming years and it just being played off as a deepfake by MSM and it’ll be swept under the rug. the state will finally get their 1984 wish soon, “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”

LSU stays at #1 in nation and a #3 seed in SEC. Kinda crazy.

---

#1 in every poll again and even extended our vote margin in the coaches poll. Last week 19/30 had us #1, now we have 22/30 first place votes.

After Texas got swept by Arkansas we went and beat them so I think the voters just see us as the most in form of the 3. It’s a tight margin between all the teams in the top 8 so the champ is just going to be whoever gets hottest over the next month

4-6 are interchangeable, but this should be the top 8. If Auburn make a run to the tourney title game, you can throw them in there as interchangeable as well.

---

pretty much, I looked at D1s projection just now and we have the same 8 teams in different order which in the end makes no difference to me where we land #1-8

With OSU losing series 4-0 to Oregon and Oregon winning Big 10, I think they wrapped up a #7 or 8 seed. OSU season is over and they won’t jump anyone. Only team I see at risk is Auburn losing out on top 8 and FSU jumping in taking their spot if they go on a run in the ACC tourney and Auburn has an early exit in the SECt.

What say you about vandy having better rpi and same sec record? Ga better rpi?

---

Vandy is going to get a high seed too. Georgia is also deserving of a national seed. The SEC has 5 of the top 6 national seeds IMO with the other team being UNC.

I agree with what the outlets have been saying the past month or so in their regional projections and the SEC will get 5-6 top 8 seeds. Auburn would be my #6 team from the SEC so they’d be the one to possibly miss out on it if any.

:lol:

It's their opinion of LSU vs what they think the committees opinion of "paper" LSU. So, it's not really ridiculous that there is such a variance.

---

Last week they had us #1 and #2 overall seed and this week #1 and #7 overall seed. I think the ridiculous part is the assumption last week the committee wouldn’t penalize us and now they will when the only thing that changed between last week and this week was:

Our RPI went from #7 to #8, won a road series in the SEC, went into the weekend in 3rd place in the SEC and finished the season in 3rd place in the SEC. And some of the teams they dropped us behind lost their last series so IMO nonsensical they dropped us to #7. I think we are a #7 seed only if we lose on Friday.

I don’t see us being ranked any lower than #4 as of right now and that’s because I agreed with their #2 overall seed projection last week. Don’t see how they justify what happened in the past week as good enough reason for the committee to want to drop us 5 spots other than throwing out clickbait to the largest college baseball fan base.
