    Just to get a little different discussion out there. I’ll attempt to turn it into a little more college and less Texas sucks.

    FSU is #1 in RPI. 4-0 in quadrant 1. No games in Q2. 8-0 in Q3. 7-0 in Q4.

    Baylor is 0-8 in Q1. 4-4 in Q2. 0-1 in Q3. 4-0 in Q4.

    OU is #4 in RPI with a 14-7 record. Only 1 Q4 game. UCF is #11 with a 2-5 conference record. Only 2 Q4 games. Then you have TCU with their 2-5 conference record. TCU is undefeated in non-conference but is 9-0 in Q4 games.

    Quick count had 5 SEC with 9 or more Q4 games. The Big 12 had Tech and WVU with 9 or more.

    Texas is #54. Only 2 Q4 games. OU is the only team with 1 Q4 game in the top 54. There are only 3 others with 2 Q4 games. Only 5 others with less than 5 Q4 games.

    The Big 12 is 3rd in RPI and currently closer to 2nd (ACC) than 4th (PAC). The Big 12 isn’t weak but some do not play the Q4 teams that other conferences have loaded up on.

    Someone smarter than me needs to explain how RPI and SOS aren’t incestuous nonsense. The Big 12 basketball metrics slant this year really highlighted this. 

    Back to the point, do SEC baseball teams have fewer Q4 games bc they’ve played fewer terrible teams? Or do they have fewer Q4 games because they’ve started to play other SEC teams which raises their SOS. And if their SOS is higher, the Q4 teams they’ve played start to look better on paper and move up to Q3. 

    The opposite for TCU which has bad conference losses. Round and round in a circle the math goes until the SEC fills the top of the RPI
     

  2. Can we start caveating the 3 Pierce Omaha trips with Augie-recruit Kody putting the team on his back in 18 and the easiest regional/super path in college baseball history in 21? Yes, 22 was gutsy as hell. And then Pierce fielding an entire team of toddlers in all 3 Omaha game 1s in a tournament that is completely predicated on staying in the winners bracket

    I’m not very well versed in college baseball coaches. Who would be a good choice? 
     

    And is it wrong I wouldn’t mind Skip back as long as he keeps tulo and Rodriguez?

    Why on earth would we keep Rodriguez?

    2 runs, 2 runs, 3 runs and 3 runs scored in our last 4 loses yet all we want to talk about is pitching.

    If you want more O'Dowd whining I can up my quota. Also Thomas needs to move out of the leadoff role immediately. He has 1 multi-hit game in the last 12 games
