2017 Baseball RPI

[PawDawg]

Tuesday's bracket projection from Warren Nolan has 3 C-USA teams in. They have us as a 3-seed at Oklahoma, USM as a 2-seed at LSU, and ODU as a 2-seed at Kentucky.

They didn't research that one much.

[DJDAWG]

I see no significant advantage being a 2 seed instead of a 3 seed. Do any of ya'll?

Nope. We'd be in the same bracket playing the same teams.

I don't know how the tourney works, but I think the higher seed is the home team until the elimination game on Saturday.

That's the only advantage. Better seed is the "home team." But that would only apply to the 2v3 matchup. Would be the same against anyone else either way.

Climber to 33 this morning -

ODU @ 39

Southern @ 15

Still at 33

ODU down to 45

USM at 14

Still at 33

ODU down to 45

USM at 14

So, what's MTSU's RPI? I know it's bad, so how will it ultimately affect LA Tech's RPI? Assuming we sweep 'em, where will Tech's RPI likely end up?

Middle TN is at 116 http://warrennolan.com/baseball/2017/rpi-live

I'm guessing as long as win the series, we will stay under 40. If we sweep, could move in the high 20's. That is pure speculation on my part by just watching how teams have moved the last 3-4 weeks. It's a lot of fun watching all of this. The last 2 years its been fun being a top 40 program to follow. Need the W tonight. MT is a very good hitting ball club, but so are we. As most of the time, it will come down to pitching.

117 -

If we take 2 of 3 we are projected to stay at 33...

Sweep - we may climb to 32 depending on what our opponents do

Really need to be fans of Miss St and ODU this weekend

And here is how today's game can effect our rpi -

[Dawg06]

Dawgs dropped from 33 down to 40 after tonight's loss. It will probably fluctuate a little as more results go final later tonight.

[Bearpaw]

Today (5/19) RPI at 37 (-3) on Warren Nolan. UTSA 95, FIU 76, UNCC 75, FAU 62, Rice 61, ODU at 45, USM 12; playing MTSU 112

[PawDawg]

We knew losing one game was going cause a negative movement.

Most of us were not "demanding" a sweep, but hoping for a series win. Lose another one now and we will probably need to make noise in Biloxi.

[Dwayne From Minden]

Win today and tomorrow and we are fine..

Lose one of those and it gets iffy and may require more than a single win in the tourney

[dawg80]

We need 4 wins to assure a bid. Two more this weekend, and at least 2 in the CUSA tourney. Of course that can vary a little depending on what the other bubble teams do down the stretch.

Let's just win the thing in Biloxi and let USM and ODU get in via at-large bids.
