4/21 softball rpi

True but even winning both, if we bow out in the conference tourney it won't be good. I guess what I meant was every game is important, if we want that top seed.

I think I will agree with you though that winning those games would carry the most weight

Keep in mind that with winning the regular season we're already into the semi-final round of the tournament. That means you'd probably be playing South Al, Western, or Georgia State in their first game.

I kind of wish the baseball tourney was set up that way.

If we end up the 1 seed, we avoid 2 and 3 so most likely no WKU or USA until the next day in the winner's bracket game assuming you win.

Also, you only need 3 wins to get through, so less games against lower RPI and seeded teams and possibly 2 against a USA or WKU.

Yea, how would you feel about Robe going against someone's number 3 and baranik going against number 4. Guess that is why baseball doesn't work that way

I wouldn't mind something similar in the baseball tournament. I think the regular season champion should have more advantage than just playing the #8 team in the format.

Softball aces can go every day... that is why it is OK in softball. Maybe for baseball, you make round 1 and 2 single elimination and then make it a 4 team double elimination. Single elimination with 2 bye's in baseball isn't an advantage, it's a gift wrapped championship.

Polls came out. #16 in both.

Doesn't the Sun Belt employ a professional writer or editor? This looks like it was written by someone in junior high. Even the schedule itself isn't accurate.

How can they justify ANY ranking for a 20 loss team?
