Marshall went to 104 after being 101 yesterday.

What caused our move up and their move down? I had figured a flat line for us and a move up for them.

RPI rankings are relative. Whether we are 37 or 38 depends on what the teams around us do.

However, our RPI rating is not relative. It comes out to number like 0.5646. Our win counted as 0.7 wins for our 25%-weighted winning percentage component. Then Marshall's record not including Tech (25-23) is averaged into the 50%-weighted opponent winning percentage component. Then Marshall's opponent winning percentage is averaged into our 25%-weighted OOWP component.

Here's what could move us up

Purdue over Michigan
UCSB over Cal State Fullerton
UCA over SLU (DH)

When the LGBTQ decides to protest college baseball games because of the transgender bathroom issue in Charlotte.

You are making a joke, right? The acronym for this organization seems to get longer every time I see it. What does the TQ mean? I think I can decipher the first 3.

Emotional over reaction here. The loss last night will not hurt our RPI any more than the loss on Sunday. At best we could be 35ish right now. We still have plenty of time to bring it up.



We are at 39 this morning.

I was able to see part of the @ Lafayette game. The relief guy that came in with bases loaded and 0 outs was throwing BBs. Got to give the Cajuns credit. Their PBP guy was good. I don't think it was their radio announcer (Jay Walker), who slams Tech incessantly. This guy sounded professional.

Q stands for queer. This forum should probably stick to baseball though right?

If we win today, we could edge up to 36

...and we did go to 36

[Dawg06]

We can only move up today with a win AND help from teams ahead of us losing.

A loss today would send us down to ~43... which means this is a must-sweep.

Go Dawgs!
