Northeastern, UNCW, Stony Brook, Campbell, CoC. It's a pretty good league. They need a better TV deal

Can’t get a tv deal without viewers

I know this sounds good in your head, but the Southland, Sunbelt, West Coast Conference, Big West, Ivy League, and two different summer leagues have their games on ESPN+

I’m sure if the CAA wanted they could be on there too… they gotta be somewhere right?

Did you see their loses? They had opportunities.

Worth considering that that the SEC has three or four of the top seeds in the tournament. Wouldn't make much sense to give those teams such high seeds if you were going to exclude all of the teams who only lost to those top seeds.

Yep. Basically what i said above and got downvoted by a CofC fan (my wife no pics is an alum so would have been fun to see them) or other low-info poster.

Charleston was more deserving than Coastal IMO. Don't see why they were compared to superior SEC teams though.

Good argument and of course the tigers get the heat. Every year a small school is gonna get the short end of the stick when a few big schools get hot at the right time. Favor gonna fall on a powerhouse defending national title team. Good year Charleston!

The only way to solve this issue, giving the direction of college sports, is to bring the FCS model to baseball and basketball.

No way his eyes were actually that blue

College of Charleston would have won 5 SEC games this year. Maybe.

And in my opinion that’s irrelevant.
The SEC gets every built in advantage known to man. I have no issue with letting 13-17 SEC squads in who handle business in the non conference. Florida making this field 1 game over .500 is an abomination.

I fail to really see why here

- Coastal's RPI was 36, Charleston's 42
- Charleston had more overall wins at 41 vs. Coastal's 34 but Coastal's SOS was WAY WAY higher at 22 vs. Charleston's 112
- Charleston played 25 Quad 4 games, Coastal only played 8; on the flip side Coastal played 13 Quad 1 games, Charleston 7
- Charleston never really picked up a "name" win, but picked up 2 wins @ UNCW, and 2 wins over Northeastern at home; however they played UNCW 5 times this year and lost 3 of the 5 times
- Coastal picked up a number of name wins including North Carolina, Wake Forest; they 3-game swept Michigan, destroyed Illinois and Cincinnati...they also had 2 games against Clemson cancelled, so Charleston wasnt the only team something like that happened to

Coastal just played a much tougher schedule and picked up more important wins. I think Charleston's biggest issue is they're in the wrong conference, they should really be in the Sun Belt. The CAA isn't a bad conference, but its still way worse than the Sun Belt in baseball. Coastal was able to pickup key conference series wins that mean something meanwhile Charleston got 1 series against UNCW only to lose to them 3 times out 5 total overall. They played 1 name series against Nebraska OOC and got swept, that was probably their undoing. They win just 1 of those games against Nebraska and it could have been a different story.
