NCAA Baseball Field Projecitons

Links of where all fields sit below.
College Sports Madness

Baseball America
What's interesting to see is what the committee will do with the Big 10. They decided in January to have baseball remain a conference only sport. Thus far no teams have stood out in the standings or performance.
Big 10 Standings
Now I think most here would agree with me saying if you refuse to play out of conference, you get a champion in and that's it. Something tells me with the NCAA dying to get the sport more balanced with northern teams in the last 10 years, they will give the Big 10 a pass, even though most of the time they haven't been deserving.
Doesn't make much sense to me, because when the SEC was bad at basketball we weren't given passes. We had to reinvest into the sport on our own. I just don't know how you legitimately compare teams with no common games. At least in one of these projections, they leave all but on Big 10 team out of the field. Will be interesting.

Wrote all that text but couldn’t summarize where each outlet had us in the field?

This is more about bids for the Big 10, much less about where we currently sit.

This is why the analytics are going to be ignored this year. RPI, as bad as it usually is, is now even worse because you have a few conferences that refused (laughably so) to only play in conference. You have no idea where they should or would fall had they played a different schedule. Fairfield and the Big 10 are examples of this going in opposite directions. Either way, when I noticed RPIs jumping 12+ spots after one game in mid-May, I realized how useless RPI is this year. That doesn't ever happen this late. The committee is going to have to rely on what they see for once. And you can certainly trust them to frick that up because most of them don't watch games outside of their own teams.

Except it directly affects us, we don't know the relevance of our position without understanding this issue. If they decide to limit the seeds for the B10, we will most likely be in no problem.

I've watched alot of baseball this year, and most of the projections on the sites above are absolutely awful. I sure hope the committee doesn't make the post season as miserable as those projections would.

Not in the field
Technically they have LSU as the EIGHT team out of the tournament (bottom of the "Next Four Out" category).
As for the Big 10, I wouldn't expect them to be "penalized" for playing only conf. games. They clearly weren't penalized in football when OSU reached the playoffs despite only playing 6 games. Just like with EVERYTHING since March 2020 the "panicdemic" is the ultimately excuse to justify any decision you want to make...even if objectivity and logic suggests it is a poor or unjust decision.

Yeah, I missed that in the first run through.

What it comes down to is, we have our destiny in our own hands. If we get to 14 pre tourney, we're in. If not we will need to make a run. If we play to our potential, we are capable.
Let's see how we look this weekend.

I've watched mostly SEC and Big12 with a few ACC games trickled in.
1) The SEC is stacked. It obviously benefited most from a short draft.
2) We will see some crazy Regional game 1s because every good team has a front line starter. Look at how good Marceaux is and then his record. It's a microcosm of the NCAA right now.
3) If Vandy loses one of their first 2 games in any round, they are fricked.

The argument that LSU would be in the tourney in any other conference is mute
Bottom line - LSU to compete for national titles and omaha should be good enough to make it out of the SEC every season
LSU is not an elite team this year. Making the tourney or just missing it doesn't change that. They have not been up to task all season against the top tier teams. I don't see that changing if LSU were to make a regional.

This is retarded.
LSU would be considerably benefited NEXT SEASON by making the tourney THIS SEASON.

guess that depends on how you look at it.
they're playing 44 conference games, SEC plays 30.
that's 14 more games vs "Power 5" schools than we're going to play this year.

We've been outclassed by two teams this year - Vanderbilt and Arkansas.
Outside of that, we have underperformed, mostly due to coaching. Shoulda/Coulda had 2/3 at State. Shoulda/Coulda had 3/3 with OM. Shoulda/Coulda had 3/3 with SCar... all those losses were heavy CPM-induced.
