NCAA Baseball Regional Selection Show

Finally folks are beginning to clue in about how bad of a measurement system that is the RPI. It was time to replace it when it was first put in place.

Coming up through the losers bracket will wear out a staff.

Does TX have any tired pitchers?

Sounds like we’re gonna need a Marshall-like performance to have a shot in this regional.

This year ... neutral. This is an at-large caliber team. Not an RPI inflated at-large selection.

Indiana State is the perfect example (that I explained in the Softball selections) of how you can craft a Top 10 RPI while having a very poor record against the Top 25 and Top 50 (and playing very few games).

Cajuns and Troy were part of last four to get in. Four teams from Sun Belt made it. Conference is getting some respect.

Then what do you think swayed the committee?
Why was UC-Irvine left out?
