I think we should be in the 5th or 6th area. We seem to have to work twice as hard as the big name schools to get a decent ranking.......

I do agree a bit with what you are saying, however in two short weeks we moved up ten spots and there are many "big name" schools ranked below us. Moving up as quick as we have has made many folks take notice. This could be a very good year!

Agree with you totally. You beat me to it. I think 10th would be about right, but that's splitting hairs. I think we'll be fine. Winning will take care of rankings. And if we keep winning, with the upgrade in SOS, we have a GREAT chance to end up with an RPI high enough to host. THAT's got to be the goal so to then get to the WCWS.

I know you're excited but I don't know if we're that good; but maybe. Keep in mind the teams ranked in the top 15 are there every year and once you get that high it gets TOUGH to move up. If we can hang around 10 we'll have the attention of the people we need come time for regional placement. That's where we need to be...

Just win baby

P.S. I do think this is the scariest team I've watched since starting school in '03, jmo

[CajunEXPRESS]

For this team to stay highly, and I mean highly ranked, we cannot have more than 3-4 loses all year long. But this team is scary good. Remember rank does not equal seeding when it comes to tournament time. We need to take care of business and win the big games and not slip up on the weaker teams. We can fall as fast as we went up, faster.

I predict Baylor will not be Top 10 at the end of the year (they are currently #10). Canion is out for the year with an ACL tear.

Ouch for them.

But that just shows what I was mentioning. Although it would be great to be ranked 5th or whatever (nice for fan excitement...nice for recruits to notice), I much prefer just WINNING...and letting the rankings just take care of themselves.

The ONLY thing I am eyeing right now is winning enough to have an RPI high enough to host. My prediction is that if we host we go to the WCWS.

It would be nice to get a national seed so we don't have to do 2010 all over again

Things are looking almost too good, LSU is down, Houston is down, Texas A&M is down this year... all regional sites

Yep. They're doing their part. We just need to keep doing ours.

Especially when you can manipulate it in your favor. ;-)
