ISR also at #4 ... we take 2 of 3 from A&M and a Super is on lock.

 

[Alex_de_Large]

Would they give Fullerton and Irvine each a Super? Aren't they like 15 miles apart?

 

[Orangeblood]

I doubt that Irvine will bid for one. The stadium only holds 1000 people before bringing in temp bleachers and there is nowhere near enough media or admin facilities available.

I expect that they'd prefer to travel as a 1 seed.

 

[PitchingGuru]

I was reading on I believe Rivlas and they were saying Irvine doesnt have the best of facilities for hosting. They only had enough permanent seating for like 900 or so. I would think that alone would make it difficult to be a host. I will see if I can find that and post it here.

 

[Alex_de_Large]

If they do travel, I hope they don't get sent down here. Let ASU host and send them there.

 

[Orangeblood]

Alex,

They would travel as a #1 seed and possibly a top national seed. They wouldn't get sent here or to any other national seed. Probably go north or east.

 

[Valmy77]

Good nothing made me sadder than Texas hosting in 07 and getting rewarded by getting a top 10 Irvine team (as a #2 seed

) coming into town.

 

[GemStateJim]

Why do the Kansas teams have such relatively poor RPIs?

[HornStar]

I just heard from a friend at UCI that they will not host on campus. Unless they can cut a deal with some other local school, I'd expect them to be a traveling 1 seed. My guess is they end up someplace like Ohio State, Minnesota or Oregon State.

Many of our opponents have much higher ISR rankings than RPI.

We are 2-2 against top-10, 5-2 against top-30, 7-3 against top-40 and 8-3 against top-50.

Go Horns!! Beat aggy!!! (well first beat the Tigers of Texas Southern, who are really not the southern-most Texas school on our schedule this year!)

Boyd Nation has posted the probabilities for teams to win their conferences.(the second number is the probability of a tie):

Big 12
Texas 46.7 0.0
Kansas State 41.3 0.0
Texas A&M 6.7 1.1
Oklahoma 2.6 0.6
Kansas 1.0 0.9
Missouri 0.2 0.5

 

[jayakris]

Hmmm ... Our RPI has jus moved up to #3 after Kansas State moved from 23 to 19 with two more wins (over BYU) on monday and tuesday which takes their run to 9-0-1 in the last 10 games ...

Now the RPI Needs Report says that we only need a 4-2 to stay in the top-8 ..

[Barton Hills]

I'm so freakin' pumped about the postseason. Can we just take 2 of 3 from A&M, then move ahead in time to Regional weekend?

Alabama A&M and the Big XII "Round Robin" are a joke.

 

[Murphy'sBoy]

Why are we playing Alabama A&M? What's up with that?

 

[goosehorn]

We are #3 in RPI now!
