The Universe of College Baseball right now

[goosehorn]

Here is a breakdown of what is going dudes.A bunch of the action already started yesterday, some of the weekend series across the country kicked off on Thursday and there were some important weeknight games this week. Try and keep up, I have a huge coffee buzz.CSF RPI #1Plays a 3 game series vs. UCLA (RPI #74) this weekend. Next weekend they have a series vs. Long Beach State (RPI #113). Dude, what happened to the Dirtbags? They suck this year.They need to lose at least 1 game. K? Thx bai.GTech RPI #3 (nipping at our heels)The Yellow Jackets lost to UGA earlier this week and have a weekend series vs. Duke (RPI #88 - they suck at everything but basketball and I hate them) They must lose one game. They just simply must.North Carolina RPI #4
Boston College (RPI #34 - impressive) took out the Tarheels last night 3-1. This is good. This is also their last series before ACC tourney time.

Arizona State RPI #5
The Sun Devils swept Winthrop last weekend, but they still have a lot of baseball left. They play 2 weekend series vs. Oregon (RPI #225 - boo urns) and UCLA at home and play Arizona in a midweek game snadwiched in between. I can see this team going very far this year and being a serious contender in Omaha if they get there. I'd love to see them lose at least 2 games before they enter the post season.

Florida RPI #6
After losing the series to LSU last weekend, the Gators won a midweek game vs. Jacksonville State and have a series vs. Kentucky this weekend. Last night's game was delayed due to weather. Kentucky seems like they suck, so a loss to them may really mess up Florida's RPI.

TCU RPI #7
Why on earth do they have such a high RPI? Whatever. I'm not even going to go over their schedule.

Clemson RPI# 8
After taking a midweek game against College of Charleston (RPI# 43) they visit NCState(RPI# 96), where they have already won the first game of the series.

Miami RPI #9
The Canes had 25 hits in a beatdown of Wake Forest. The U finishes their regular season with this series.

LSU RPI #10
The Tigers took the first game of their last series of the year against Miss State, coming from behind to win 5 - 4. Please oh please let the dumbos at MSU (RPI #87) take at least one game.

Rice RPI# 11
Haha. They lost to UAB (RPI# 138) yesterday. They finish the regular season with this away series. They are 9-6 in their last 15 games with some pretty bad loses.

Virginia RPI# 12
UVA lost to VTech yesterday with a walkoff homer in extra innings - ouch. The series is at Virginia Tech (RPI #53) and it looks like the Hokies are trying to make it in still. This is going to probably be a serious battle.

UC-Irvine RPI# 13
Top ranked UCI has a lot of baseball left. They just lost to San Diego and still have weekends vs. UC Davis and UCSB with a midweek game against UCLA thrown in. If they can finish strong, there isn't a reason in the world they shouldn't get the #1 overall seed. Let's hope they lose some.

aggy RPI# 14
Lots of:

Arkansas RPI# 15
The Hogs just got swept by Bama, and lost 2 of 3 vs. LSU the weekend before. they just beat Oral Bob and are going to have to finish strong against Ole Miss and have a good showing in the SEC tourney to host IMHO.

FSU RPI # 16
Just lost a weekend series to Georgia Tech and have a 4 game weekend against Grambling. They've already taken the first game.

UGA RPI# 17
The Bulldogs just won a weekday game against GTech and are about to finish their regular season at South Carolina. USC has already won the first game of the series.
Ole Miss RPI #18
Won game 1 in their series @ Arkansas, where they finish the regular season.



So anyways, I hope yall enjoy this post. It is easy to see that there are going to be some changes in the projections after this weekend given that a lot of these teams are playing other teams with top 20 RPI. Also too, some of these teams contending for a top 8 seeding are losing to inferior teams.

I'm just glad to see that we are able to sit back and watch everyone beat up on each other while we take on RPI# 289 powerhouse Alabama A&M. Hopefully our RPI doesn't take too much of a hit, but it looks like everyone else is taking the hits literally.

Thoughts?

Nice job Goose and you're right as there should be some nice movement in RPI after this weekend.

What will really be interesting is how aggy does against OU this weekend. If they happen to lose 2/3, then they'll have no excuses left for hosting a regional and having been a top 8 seed.

Thanks Pab.CSF RPI #1So far CSF has taken the first 2 games of the series with UCLA. They aren't going anywhereGTech RPI #4 Dropped one spotWent 1-3 on the weekend losing their series to Duke. The Yellow Jackets have dropped to #4 RPI.


North Carolina RPI #3 moved up a spot
Took 2 of 3 from Boston College. Now the Tar Heels are nipping at our #2 spot in Boyd's World RPI.


Arizona State
Have taken 2 of 3 from Oregon and stayed where they are in RPI rankings.


Florida RPI# 6
Went 2 of 3 against Kentucky and have stayed at #6 in RPI


TCU RPI #8 Dropped one spot
Swept UNLV but dropped one spot in RPI.


Clemson RPI# 7 moved up a spot
Went 5-0 this week while sweeping NCState.


Miami RPI# 9 Dropped one spot
Dropped over 40 runs on Wake Forest in their sweep of the Demon Deacons. Miami is a 5 seed in the ACC Tourney and look like they are peaking at the right time.


LSU RPI #10
Took 2 of 3 from Mississippi State to win the SEC regular Season.


Rice RPI #11
Lost the series @ UAB. Whoa, RIce has lost a lot of games lately. This was a huge opportunity for A&M to take their spot as Super Regional host, but alas, aggy is aggy.


The rest of em...
It looks like Ole Miss also won the SEC (and so did LSU) but will be the 3 seed in the SEC Tournament? Someone explain that to me... Anyways, The Rebels swept Arkansas and leap frogged a few teams up to #14 in RPI.

Arkansas is circling the drain ala Baylor by going 1-8 in their last 9 SEC games.

Cry Baby A&M has lost 2 to Oklahoma. They seem to end the season poorly under Childress. Look for aggy to throw him under the bus if they already havent.

I guess there was a little bit of movement in RPI, but since we didn't have to take a hit in our RPI by playing Alabama State, we got to sit pretty. Unfortunately we might also come out Rusty in the Big 12 Tourney. Here's to hoping we don't!
