re: LSU is ranked #1 RPI and #5 SOS so far this season

quote:

---

Maryland is 9-0 since being swept by LSU.

Lamar is 11-1 against teams not named LSU.

BYU is 6-3 against teams not named LSU.

SLU is 8-1 against teams not named LSU including 2 wins over BYU.

Just to play Devil's Advocate.

UMd's other wins are versus Oakland (4) Princeton (3) and JMU.

Lamar's wins are a bit more impressive with a sweep of next weekend's opponent Washington, as well as sweeps of Columbia and Northern Kentucky (need to verify if NKU is even D1)

BYU has beatten Northern Colorado, Northern Illinois LSU, Seattle twice and Creighton twice. They've lost games to Northern Colorado, Texas Tech, SLU (2) LSU and Creighton

South Eastern has sweeps over Tenn.-Martin and Texas Southern, one over BYU and dropped games to LSU and Tulane.

These records are nice, but the level of competition is shite, which is entirely appropriate for this early in the season.

That said, can't wait for SEC play, love this teams pitching!




ETA - NKU is in fact a reclassifying D1 school, provisional member of the Atlantic Sun conference. Also the alma matter of George Clooney. Thanks Wikipedia!
