If we can sweep Tulane this weekend, we should be moving up pretty high in the rankings.

I think so too

And now the reality is that the backsliding has begun. For a program like Tech the polls are a tough climb, but an easy slide downwards.

Stairs up, elevator down.

The good news is we had a longer sniff than usual at the top after the lsu win. Too bad it could never last.

So as we all probably knew beating LSU wouldn’t amount to much in the national rankings. It’s always more name recognition versus who beats who. For the vast number of SEC schools the recipe for their successes are massively heavy home schedules early in the year. As an example #1 Tennessee has played 19 of their first 22 games at home. With an advantage like that and the wins they pile up early they can then get into their conference schedules to trade wins and loses back and forth without ever falling too much out of the ranking picture. Tech has proven hands down that they’re better than LSU and get the tiggers are ranked and Tech isn’t. We’ll always have to do twice what the big name schools do and when the time comes we’ll have to do it on the road.

LSU was 2-2 last week and jumped up 9 spots in one poll

Rankings smakings - in college baseball they are merely window dressing for a beauty contest

We've settled in at 33 in the RPI after this weekend and LSU's series win at UF is the reason why

Need them and the others on our schedule to continue to win on a consistent basis

We need to get into the top 20 RPI wise and stay there - once we get past the USL midweek series (MUST WINS) we have NO top 100 rpi opportunities until MTSU and CLT

Playing RPI #1 tomorrow can't hurt in that regard.

We have the opportunity to have a great RPI week but we also have the potential to do what we normally do in these situations....

Spoken like a true, long-time Tech fan...

It didn't hurt that LSU bounced back and took the series 2-1 from 8th ranked UF.
