It's really early for the RPI, but it's looking better.

[SPAL]

Updated.

[SPAL]

Updated to reflect the loss yesterday

[SPAL]

Updated after the improbable come back. La tech will likely be a top 50 RPI win. They will be an NCAAT team. Getting a road win there is huge. It is way too early to out much thought into it, but it will be fun to look back as the season goes along....

I agree. Tech is a very good baseball team and they will probably be top 50 at the end of the season.

[Supermark101]

Just a suggestion. Can you put a link up to the Warren page, so i don't have to search for, if I have questions.  Like, why is Arizona #1

Use the tab for "teams" and look up Arizona.  4-0 against RPI 1-50 and 4-0 against RPI 51-100

[SPAL]

Yes, added to the original post.

Arizona's 4 top 50 wins are vs McNeese state. this is why the rpi is a shame.

With mighty Buffalo checking in at #5 with a 3-3 record.

[SPAL]

Don't take too much stock from the RPI right now. I'm posting this to follow throughout the season....Not to digest right now.

Early season really shows you what a croc it is

[SPAL]

Good news: La tech got a top 25 RPI win over Wichita state.

Bad news:
Hogs lost a chance at a top #25 RPI win
they lost a game
Bryant lost to Liberty
Miami is about to be in the +200 column. They have a double header today against Eastern Illinois.

[SPAL]

We are now #22 RPI. That come back against La Tech is really helping us.

[SPAL]

Updated

[SPAL]

Resume looks good right now....

Rhode Island is another team that should be a top 100 team at the end of the season.

Alcorn state will drop us some just by playing it.

[SPAL]

Way too early bracketology....

Arkansas is a 2 seed playing wright state in the Tallahassee regional.

[WizardofhOgZ]

We already see the residual value of playing on the road against a team like Louisiana Tech, and in the Frisco Tournament.

It means nothing,  but the projections has at 42 - 13, 21-8 in the SEC, and a final RPI of 5. That would be amazing,  after last year.

I'd take it if they offered it right now. Not sure what FSU has this year, but I'll see them next weekend in person when they come up to Notre Dame

I noticed he doesn't have Louisiana Tech in the bracket at all.  They are currently 12-1 and #5 RPI.  I know their RPI will drop as the year goes but they have looked very good so far this season.

Oh you know FSU would be completely pissed if we landed in their bracket.

Yes, they will make the NCAAT.....They are too good not to.

[tennesseehogwild]

Yes, they will make the NCAAT.....They are too good not to.

So did they sweep Wichita St?

[SPAL]

So did they sweep Wichita St?

Yes

[HogFansReunited]

They also beat Miss St in Starkville.

[SPAL]

Rpi falls from 19 to 36 as our sos plummets. Everybody on our schedules lost today except Arizona.

[TikiHog]

dropped from 36 to 62 after yesterday's loss

[SPAL]

Yes, our SOS is turning into a disaster.

[Kevin]

you guys will drive yourself crazy watching this mess.

just one thing matters WIN AS MANY GAMES AS POSSIBLE!!!

"Just win, baby"

Kevin's favorite quote.

[Kevin]

right now, I would rather have had 4 more home games and be 17-0, with around same rpi & sos.

[SPAL]

The problem is teams like Bryant, who was expected to have a good season, are really struggling.

[BroyledNutts]

The LSU narrative ...

I agree with you on the Frisco series, but going to LA Tech and winning will be big.

[Kevin]

The LSU narrative ...

sure works for them

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Our SEC schedule should offset the non-con in terms of RPI.   Just win and we're in.

[SPAL]

Updated

[SPAL]

La tech loses again....

Bryant falls into the 200+ category

[boaron]

MSU gets a +5 RPI for losing to us.    :razorback:

[tennesseehogwild]

La Tech is swept by So Miss!

[Kevin]

MSU gets a +5 RPI for losing to us.    :razorback:

That is why I tell it will make you crazy

[SPAL]

Updated....

[SPAL]

Updated after a win over UNO

[SPAL]

I'll update this later this evening after games have been played, but we jumped 13 spots after beating Mizzou. We are now #40.

[SPAL]

Lot of good things happened this weekend....

Arkansas took 2 from Missouri.
Mississippi State swept Tennessee and is now in the RPI top 50.
ULM comes off the +200 win

Looking at the schedule, I can see us getting 20 conference wins and keeping an RPI in the top 30. That's host material

It would be nice to win 20. We've only done that once in the SEC.
