    Baseball 2017 Baseball RPI

    Tech is #41 in the RPI entering this week, down from #35 entering last week despite going 4-1 with a Top 25 win. We were up to #33 entering the UAB series.

    WKU is one of the worst teams in the country, and Tech's remaining schedule only offers no Top 50 resume opportunities. Maybe ULL can eventually get there. Tech's predicted RPI is #46, which would most likely leave us in the First Four Out of the NCAA Tournament.

    I'm in disbelief Burroughs isn't trying to add a couple good RPI road games to replace ULM and Arky State during these last few midweeks. You could see this coming a mile away. I have a bad feeling we're all going to regret Burroughs' decision to do nothing.

    are we certain he's not trying to find a replacement.

    The Bulldogs will be looking to add an opponent later in the season to replace the cancelled game.

    We know he didn't want one this week...based on what he said in the two interviews I've heard.

    Last week on the coach's show Burroughs said he was comfortable with where we were. Didn't need to add any games. Just focus on C-USA games. Something to that effect.

    Did anybody get to listen to today's coach's show? They haven't archived any of them.

    Haven't you learned to stop listening to Coach's??

    They will tell you what THEY want to tell you, and rarely do you get to hear what WE want them to say.

    Not that it matters much, but when I checked NCAA RPI on Friday morning we were at 35.

    I thought that might be it. Which formula does the NCAA use?

    I checked the Top 50 today, and Warren Nolan exactly mirrored the official NCAA RPI.

    Okay. Maybe they had not made the adjustment when I checked on Friday morning. I thought it was strange for it to have stayed the same overnight with so many Thursday games being played last week.

    Most likely scenario is 36 wins (24%). We have about a 19% chance to win 38 or more. 40 is still in the realm of possibilities but very unlikely (0.79%).

    Thats just in the regular season though.

    ...along with the game winning hit. This guy is a baseball player not just a pitcher.

    From top to bottom our pitching staff could be better next year. Only a few needs though, only 6 position starters to replace - 3rd, 2nd, 1st, and all (3) OF positions. Gonna need some Juco studs to overcome that many position player losses BUT if Im a Juco stud and I know I have good chance of starting two years and play in the 6th best conference in the nation - seems like Tech is a no brainer.
