It’s time for baseball. I’ll bet my bottom dollar though that the A&M homers at D1 Baseball won’t mention that their RPI sucks - just ten spots above NC State who was omitted.
Just thought A&M’s seed compared to their RPI needed to be called out because two of the influential voices in our sport, Aaron and Kenny, like any and all A&M fans will forget to mention that a 5 national seed has no business mucking about in the 20’s of RPI LINK

Remember when LSU didn't even make the tournament with a mid-20s RPI?
The committee will use any metric they want to justify the decisions they want to make.

I’m no A&M fan but winning 8 out of 10 sec series is pretty impressive to me.

So you truly believe A&M should be the 6th highest ranked team in the SEC with the second best record against conference teams (and by a comfortable margin)? And you believe Wake Forest (15-14-1 in the ACC) and Georgia Tech (15-15 in the ACC) should be ahead of them? What about Maryland, East Carolina, Ga Southern and USM? Unless you believe all that nonsense, you should recognize that the RPI is seriously flawed.

This isn’t a valid argument. They already indicated that SEC record doesn’t matter when they chose 15-15 Florida over 18-12 Arkansas
There is no consistency in their decisions

I will agree that they actually tried to exercise some judgment when assigning seeds to the regional hosts rather than just going with RPI. The question is why they didn’t exercise the same judgment in assigning the hosts in the first place. If SEC #2 A&M deserves the #5 seed despite their #22 RPI, then it would stand to reason that LSU and/or Arkansas are deserving of host spots before Florida and Auburn.

Yup and they bitch slapped LSU, so rational fans understand we can’t say a whole lot. They beat us fair and square. They have earned it

If you win your division in the SEC, A&M won the West and are #2 in the SEC, you absolutely should be a top 8 seed.

Exactly. I said this to a friend earlier. It's so true.
They need to change.

I actually agree with this. But not to agree they should be number 5. I think an SEC team who wins a division should be ranked much higher in RPI. So to say what others have said... The system is flawed.

My belief
-A&M deserves a top 8 seed
-RPI is a terrible metric, and their is plenty of evidence this year alone to support its terribleness. They need to use a new method. Ga Southern awarded with an RPI of 11 for getting smoked by Tennessee, losing midweek games to FSU and UGA and winning a series over Texas state. Woopty do.
Vandy’s RPI is still #7 for fricks sake. They were 14-16 in conference and were 1-3 vs ranked OOC teams. If the NCAA keeps putting weight into this stupid shite, if I’m LSU I’m scheduling Texas and Oregon State for random weekend series before conference play.

Ok, that's fine. I don't disagree. But in your case you are making, conference record is placed above RPI. That's exactly what the committee did by ranking aTm so high.
So, then explain why Maryland isn't a national seed (18-5 in conference, 45-11 overall). And explain why the RPI of Florida and Auburn put them hosting above LSU and Arkansas.
Why does it work one way in aTm's case, and different for other teams?
And we can go further. If RPI is so crucial in getting Auburn and UF to host, why the hell is NC State sitting at home?
It's just not consistent. That's the problem.

Blame NM State and Missouri State. Neither of those teams were expected to win their conference tourney. It does suck for NCState, but who are you gonna remove in place of them.

Thank you! D1 Baseball is calling the NC State snub yesterday the worst they have seen in 18 years. Let me introduce you to 2017 LSU

This is all I’m saying. And D1 Baseball is gonna give twenty interviews in the next three days and they will conveniently leave out the fact that the team they are fans of A&M has an RPI (22) reserved for a strong 2 seed.

Yes there is. They consistently rank the teams according to how good they think they are. That is way better than picking some stupid metric and consistently hueing to it.
The Aggies have had a very impressive year, and imo, they deserve the ranking they received.

Ah yes, the “eyeball test”. Who needs objective metrics that can be applied to all when you can just “pick who ya think is better”

Then how did Florida get a host spot? How did Ga Southern get a spot.
