re: Conference Tournament Week - (Bid Stealer Tracker)
Posted by MikeTheTiger71 on 5/21/24 at 8:40 pm
UCF 6, Cincinnati 5, F/11.
UCF homered in the top of 11th, then held on for the win.
Cincinnati is an interesting case. They finished 5th in the Big 12 at 17-13 and won 3 of 4 series against the other bubble teams in the conference (WVU, KSU, TCU, and UCF) going 8-4, but they were 9-9 in other...

[quote]I feel like Indiana fell under D1Baseball's radar. They are a win or 2 from really looking like a realistic team to be in.[/quote]
Georgia Tech and Louisville both losing today is opening up opportunities on the bubble. If Indiana makes a run and a few others fall flat, they might have a s...

[quote]Mike, do you feel that secures TCU in? Or still more work to do. I believe Louisville is out if they do not advance out their pod, and I believe that Ga Tech may be in a similar situation. Kansas state is out if they go 0-2 and they get a tough West Virginia team next. [/quote]

[quote]Dont give me that BS. Everyone counted this team out when they were 3-12 in SEC play, couldnt move base runners over or hit with RISP, and anybody not named Jump, Holman, and Griffin could throw a strike. “I never doubted this team” stfu and be honest with yourself. [/quote]

[quote]I mean every win helps but the consensus was that LSU mainly needed this win vs UGA to get in for sure. It would also really help if Alabama or Vandy would lose today. or Florida.[/quote]
Every projection I could find had LSU already in the field before today and mostly not even in the las...

[quote]So you think the Committee doesn’t care about region or having a diverse enough spread of teams after the conf tournaments? They will and have picked conference champions and others from mid-majors. For example, Southern Miss doesn’t need to win their conference, has a higher KPI but will ...

[quote]We're on the edge. I don't feel good about our chances at all if we lose tomorrow. At some point, it doesn't matter if everyone "knows" we're better than half the other at-large candidates, you have to perform and win. [/quote]

[quote]He was overruled by the other 2. The committee will look at head to head first if everything else is the same. [/quote]
So, then 2 of the 3 disagree with you and think SC and Vandy belong behind LSU. I don’t think any of them are the sole arbiters here, but you can’t just pick and choose t...

It’s NOT about SEC teams getting in. You keep wanting to make it that, but it’s not. Conference standings are only a small piece of the puzzle. The committee certainly d...

[quote]6. Bids won’t get stolen in 1 bid conferences and by default some of those conferences will get 2 teams in. [/quote]
I think most people have argued things based on how things stand today. There are only 5 one-bid leagues where the conference leader would get an at-large bid if they are bo...
