Baseball America Projects 3 Louisiana Hosts

I don't know if LSU, UL, and Tulane all get host sites. But they have all 3 of us hosting at this point.
I also think they have it wrong that LSU is not a National Seed. I think the Tigers have done enough to earn the #8 Seed at this point barring a complete fail in the SEC tourney.
I think UL and Tulane are basically fighting for the final host spot and ultimately it will come down to who wins their conference tourney.

rice and southern miss really shite the bed this past weekend.
lots of new host teams in the field this week, according to that projection.
i think if tulane wins the aac, they'll get a host spot. at least have to make the final. gotta bump that rpi up. however, they do have a good record against the top 50 and top 100 rpi, and have only lost one weekend series all year. they already do have a pretty good resume.

I think you're right. I just don't see Coastal plus those two getting to host. But Coastal has a good RPI without real quality wins. I love that they sent Fla. State on the road, as the real committee should.

If both Tulane and ULL win their tourneys, I think they both should host over FSU and Coastal.

Any idea why LA has such solid baseball programs? It can't be all because of TOPS right?
I mean Florida makes sense. Texas makes sense. LA though?
ETA: Based on the downvotes I'm assuming this is a stupid question, but I don't see any obvious reason. It's not like warm weather is isolated to LA only and the local baseball talent is rich, but there simply aren't enough kids to explain the success of 3 schools being in the Top 25 or so programs since 2000.

Yea it will probably come down to those 2. I dont see any case where UL deserves it over Tulane though. Tulane is 8-2 vs the Top 25 RPI teams and have only lost 1 series all year.

agreed.
midweek losses against lesser louisiana teams is what is keeping their rpi from being higher. and in the end, how much do those games really matter? tulane has lost one weekend series all year. that should count for a lot more.

LSU has done enough. Problem is that the NCAA wont like giving that many supers to SEC teams
LSU needs USC to lose out in tourney

Yes, we have some metrics in our favor.
But not in our favor is that we play today, and will have to throw the back guys in our pen. Have 4/5 good starters, but none are available. Now if we win, the next game is Thursday and we'll be set. Getting those back guys some important inning will help in the long run, though.
I think if either ULL or Tulane hosts, the other will be the #2. A low host should get a top #2.

I don't think it's that cut and dry... Cajuns had the #1 NC SOS in the country. NC RPI is 7.
They handled good competition and had a small sample against great competition. If you look at the Cajuns schedule, they beat really good teams right before those teams hit the skids. (i.e. SELU - So Miss)

I think that Tulane will probably get the nod if they win their tournament.
Only way I see UL getting the nod over Tulane is if the committee emphasizes RPI and SOS.
Cajuns have a much better RPI & SOS, but I think that 8-2 vs top 25 for Tulane should mean something when you compare it 0-4 for UL.

gibbs, massey, massey, and jp france aren't available. you think it'll be johnny wholestaff today? i don't exactly trust trevor simms starting, so hopefully he only throws a couple of innings

FAU isn't submitting a bid to host so that increases the chances of Tulane and ULL hosting a regional.

agreed, but i bet they send them out west like they did in this projection. or somewhere to spread the host spots around the country

i don't see how tulane wouldn't host if they sweep through their tournament and finish 41-17 with the rpi wins as good as they have.
Posted on 5/24/16 at 10:51 am to Jwho77
honestly, not trying to start shite, but i don't think tulane would mind being 1/2 in a regional with ull, whether it's in nola or lafayette. i think they'd feel good about that.

i would say because everyone wants to beat LSU and we just have more media coverage of college baseball bc of them
Tulane and now ULL think they have rivalries with the Tigers and that has helped their own programs

Tulane has been good in baseball for 40 years. Has nothing to do with LSU.
