3-seed at Dallas Baptist…

The goal is to make a regional. That's all I'm hoping for this season.

 

[MSUDC11]

I would take that Regional all day. DBU has a nice park, too. Small, but nice.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Agreed. Currently, the SEC is projected to have nine teams make regionals and we're the ninth.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Also of note: Ole Miss is a 2-seed at Notre Dame.

Southern Miss is a 2-seed at Louisville... and they're opposite Arkansas where Louisiana Tech is also a 2-seed.

A part of me is hoping for chaos and a C-USA Grudge Throwdown Super Regional between LaTech and Southern Miss.

 

[8dog]

Wierd. BA has them as 8th overall. Which really doesn’t make sense with an RPI in the 20s right now.

Sub-thread - what's the minimum record in your opinion to make the tournament?

For OOC, we have what's below:
UAB
Jackson State
Ole Miss
North Alabama
Samford
and 7 SEC series (26 more games).

Currently 18-12 (4-5).

I'm thinking if 4-1 OOC with a 13-17 SEC Record - we at least make it. That puts us at 31-25. Does that get us in?

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Warren Nolan is thinking almost the same as you (big difference is WN is thinking we win the Governor's Trophy and therefore be 5-0 OOC) and that would mean a 56 RPI.

I'd rather be at 14-16 in conference play at least.

 

[patdog]

Also, DBU is a beatable #1 seed. Yes, I'd take that Regional all day, every day.

 

[DoggieDaddy13]

If one of those 13 wins is a win over UTenn, we might get in to a regional. Otherwise, 14 is the absolute minimum.

 

[onewoof]

I can promise you that this year in Hoover we will not try to get run ruled.

 

[8dog]

Man. That predictor changes by the minute.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Heh. Yeah. The predicted RPI went up to 53 but the overall record & conference record went down to 29-27 & 12-18 in less than an hour.

 

[patdog]

Yeah, that predictor is garbage. It projects us to take 2 from LSU, split 4 with Mississippi, but lose to Jackson St. WTF?

If we do that then it will very much be 50/50 and we will be sweating out the selection show. I think we might need a win or two in Hoover at that point.

14-16 should do the trick as far as getting in without needing to win in Hoover.
