Nah bro you need to tighten up your purple and gold glasses with all that objectivity. They’re falling off

Except it is objectively a bad ranking, as is typical from BA.

LSU had a higher RPI than:

UCI
Kansas State
Mississippi State
Uconn
West Virginia
Oregon
Evansville

In addition, LSU had an equal or better record in the tournament than:
Duke
Arizona
UC Santa Barbara
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Mississippi State
East Carolina
Arkansas

They also had a better RPI than most of those teams ^

You're telling me all 14 of those teams deserved to be ranked higher than LSU because LSU went 13-17 in what is by far the hardest conference in America? That's dumb.

I would think CJJ would use that as motivation for next year.

Really odd for a team that would have won any conference but the SEC.

In the end it doesn’t really matter where they rank. By LSU standards, it wasn’t a great season. It happens.

Jay has already printed out this poll, put it on every wall in his office and in every locker. He’s pissed and it’s showing in his portal moves, that’s a brother that means business

Of course he will. Jay is a master at using these to our advantage.

Florida 36-30 and ranked 6th.

You simply cannot make this shyt up.

What an intellectually lazy thing to do to order the top 8 of your poll the 8 teams that make the CWS. And even then, you don't put this trashy Florida team 8th?

Jesus Christ.

It's insultingly lazy. Just because you make the CWS does not mean you're one of the top 8 teams in the country. Yet they're often ranked that way.

I would hope he has at least 100 things he could use as infinitely better motivation than a meaningless post-season poll. Our season was our season. We didn't play well enough in the regular season to host a regional, but made it to the final game of the overall #4 national seed's regional and lost a heartbreaker to them and didn't advance to a Super. That was our season. Our record was our record. Whether we finished in Baseball America's arbitrary (after the top 2) final poll as #3 overall or unranked matters zero. Our season was our season. And we have our own goals, standards, and expectations. Who gives a shite about Baseball America's?
