re: D1Baseball Nerdcast: 5/20/24 - Projecting Field of 64 Update: LSU in (link posted)

[quote]If you really listen to Etheridge, LSU is behind every other SEC team with 13 wins based on his comment defending SCe. His comment on “not all Q1 wins or losses are the same was posturing for that.[/quote]
One problem. They have Vandy in the last 4 in and specifically stated SC was behin...

[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...

[quote]Hard to say who to root for between Vandy and UF but if they say Vandy is last team in from SEC I’d rather UF win so Vandy doesn’t get any extra props[/quote]
I think that matchup helps LSU either way solidifying the loser as the last SEC team in line. If Florida loses and falls to 28-27, ...

[quote]In basketball, some coaches are good at manipulating RPI by scheduling beatable teams that will compete for their conference championship and a tournament bid.[/quote]
Xavier was exactly that kind of team and I think they hoped Stoney Brook would be. The bigger problem for LSU is the overa...

[quote]collegesportsmadness.com has LSU as last four in playing in the Corvallis regional and matched with Clemsons regional [/quote]
Last Four In: UCF, UNC Wilmington, TCU, Northeastern
They are saying that LSU is close to being one of the last 4 in, but they have 4 other teams on that list....

[quote]The last 2 teams in from the SEC are Vandy and USCe.[/quote]
At least that is what D1Baseball thinks. I firmly believe Florida is behind LSU as well. I don’t think the committee is going to leave any of the 11 SEC teams out, but if they do Florida or Vandy are getting left out before LSU d...

[quote]Glad to see they are pretty on par with what me and Mike said in my pinned post.[/quote]
Yes, between us we had 20 teams on the bubble for 13 spots. No one in their field disagrees with our list and the first 4 out were on our list. St John’s and Arizona St were the ones we differed on and...

[quote]UF played all of the harder teams down the stretch and MUCH MICH BETTER competition out of conference. [/quote]
That’s not at all true. The only tougher competition they played was two midweek games against FSU that they lost. LSU played 2 Q1 games against Texas and ULL in weekend matchups...
re: Is Georgia a must win or are we in a regional regardless of outcome?

[quote]It's absolutely a must-win. You need to differentiate yourself from the other 13-17 teams in the league because a blind resume puts LSU at the end of that pecking order[/quote]
A blind resume if you only look at Q1 record and RPI ranking. If you dig a little deeper that’s not at all true. ...

[quote]Right now historically we have a 38% chance of making it. [/quote]
100% of SEC teams with 13 conference wins and 36 total wins have made it since 2017. That’s more relevant than a stat going back to 1999. The landscape has changed and the SEC is far more competitive. Many of those 13 win S...

[quote]2. IMO, the SEC is not gonna get 11 teams in the tournament. Doesn't matter what deserves to happen in that regard, we are not getting 11 teams in. I'll be glad to be wrong on this. [/quote]
What’s magical about 10 teams vs 11? Why not only 8 or 9? If the committee cannot separate the S...

[quote]LSU is certainly a bubble team. It won't be crazy if we find ourselves out.[/quote]
Have you actually taken the time to consider what teams would have to be given bids instead of LSU? I’m not saying it’s a lock, but it would take some pretty contorted logic on the committee’s part or a ma...

[quote]As I’ve stated before, SCe is the best bet on teams to pass. Lose to UGA Tuesday and it is over[/quote]
You still haven’t come up with your list of the 15 teams behind LSU in the RPI that would get at-large bids ahead of them. Certainly with you so sure of yourself, you must have done the...

Posted by MikeTheTiger71 on 5/19/24 at 8:55 pm
[quote]So you think 11 SEC teams are in? If so, saying they are a lock is fair. Also, since you singled out UF in your reply. Let's say LSU wins, UF wins the tourney (or makes the finals) and Bama loses Tuesday, is Bama still in? If you think 11 are in, that's fine. But if not, then who is left ou...

[quote]Why do you have Bama as a lock? They were one game away from being left out. I think they are far from a lock, unless you think 11 SEC teams are locks.[/quote]
Bama had 5 conference series wins vs 4 for the other 13-17 teams, including the winners of both divisions, and a gaudy RPI I don’t...
