Due to UF and AU losing, we are now #3 in RPI and it’s not even an April Fools joke. What in the heck just happened?

Lots of baseball to be played, but incredible turnaround by the coaches and players so far!

He made up for it when he screwed Bama baseball immediately after Greg Byrne gave AU one of the greatest basketball selection committee gifts. It started the “Cohen Curse” that I warned AU was coming in May of 2023. I tried to tell them how to fix it in Oct 2025, but they wouldn’t listen.

The Cohen Curse Begins


Fixing Auburn

8 straight and counting

Gonna be a looooong game.

Or not.

Is it bad to only play 8 innings in a mid-week loss? Asking for a younger relative.

Back to back sweeps over Vandy and OM feels good

Agreed.

Similarly, back to back sweeps over teams that are still currently ranked #2 and #4 in RPI feels too good to be true.

Then you look at the fact they both wear orange and blue and it makes sense. Sorry FL, no one told our team we weren’t playing AU until after we swept you. We saw the colors and just assumed the team sucked so our confidence went sky high. Our bad

Let’s check Live RPI to verify the probability of your statement.

Bama is ranked…#7. Teams ranked this high, including winning 2 of 3 conference series against ranked teams, have a decently non-zero probability of winning a natty.

LSU is ranked…hold on…wait for it…man, still scrolling…geez, starting the 5th section of teams on Live RPI and still haven’t found them yet…ahh, found them…97th. Teams ranked 97th after the 8th conference game have a near zero chance of winning a natty.

Well, at least you got one right. 0.500 is better than your typical batting average and a whole lot better than LSU’s batting average or even conference winning %.

Let’s do a quick update.

Bama is ranked…#5, coming off back to back sweeps of ranked SEC opponents (in fact, those 2 opponents are also ranked in the Top 5…unlike someone else being discussed in this post).

LSU is ranked…#85. Still in the 5th section of teams but hey, you guys are now at the top of that 5th section instead of the bottom! Nicely done!!

We will 100% revert to the mean but win or lose today, the AU athletic department is most embarrassing thing in the history of the state of Alabama…and that’s even considering the state’s civil rights past…it’s that embarrassing. At least MSU has baseball, AU even lost equestrian to A&M…SHUT IT DOWN!!

Hey Texas, we’ll trade you AU for A&M. This is beyond embarrassing

Literally every single one of those offensive and defensive per game metrics are completely skewed and useless. We are one of the top tempo teams every single year. You can’t use “choose your metric / per game” to measure our efficiency of anything offensive or defensive.

Our defensive efficiency metrics around rebounds, forced TOs/steals, points per possession, etc. are all underwhelming. That table was the very definition of the classic statement “There’s lies…damn lies…and statistics.” Those stats lied like a politician on stage.

AU should shut their entire God forsaken athletic department down. What an embarrassment. The fact that it happens immediately after they pulled some embarrassing “try to push him off the bag” bush league play makes so much better. :rotflmao:

If Bama wins again today, AU should just shut down their entire athletics department. Getting run ruled with your Friday night starter when you’re ranked #5 in the country and have been bragging about baseball for several weeks is beyond embarrassing.

Shut it down. Shut the whole dang embarrassing department down.
