They just played their 1st tough road series and got swept. It matters where you play home or away....they played Missouri, state, and KY on the road prior to playing at arkansas.
What happened in our toughest road series?

Texas is without their team MVP LF and their Friday night starter and lost another starter last week.
They are falling fast

Ags can’t win shite, unless of course they’re playing LSU recently, in which case all bets are off.

Ags will be on the road in a super and Texas swept them.

I understand that Texas had an easier away schedule. But if you look at the schedule in perspective of how the coaches thought the SEC would finish, which I guess would be a better way to figure out if the schedule was gamed in their favor somehow, ours and theirs are very similar.
I don’t disagree. I don’t believe it was some kind of favoritism by any means. Just how the season kind of played out and they’ve been fortunate.

What other starter did Texas lose recently?
Posted on 5/7/25 at 6:24 pm to Hiphopanonymous
I got Texas to make the CWS +190, three weeks ago.

It wasn’t recent but there is a cumulative effect to losing top players. Max Belyeu was first on the team in BA and second in OPS when he went down early in the conference schedule. I have heard, though, that he might be back for postseason.

No they don’t, and Texas peaked early. They will fall off in the next few weeks.

They have a better SOS than LSU.
If we just narrow it down to the teams they did not both play.
Texas Schedule - (RPI)
vs LSU (9)
vs Georgia (1)
at Kentucky (41)
vs Florida (15)
LSU Schedule - (RPI)
at Texas (2)
vs Alabama (13)
vs Tennessee (14)
at South Carolina (62)
You can make that case in football, but certainly not in baseball. If the SEC did them a favor, they did LSU a bigger favor.
That's because they played a tougher out of conference schedule. What people are talking about is that all of their tough series' have been at home and they've played bottom barrel SEC teams on the road. The one tough away series they've played (Arkansas) they were swept. LSU has gone on the road to Texas, Auburn, A&M, Oklahoma, while also getting Tennesee, Arkansas, and Alabama at home.
Texas has traveled to Mississippi State, Missouri, Kentucky, and Arkansas now and have played LSU, Georgia, Auburn, and A&M at home in Austin. Up to this point they've played on top of the SEC team on the road and were swept.
