Florida State defeats Notre Dame 3-1 and likely passes the Cajuns in the RPI rankings (pending the results of both teams' opponents and how the RPI bonuses finish).

Oklahoma leads Oklahoma State 5-4 T6th in Stillwater. They play one more game tomorrow.

It is good that Oklahoma beat Ok St, because we played 3 and won 2 against Oklahoma, right?

We are fighting Oklahoma for national seed. Catch 22 it seems.

[jllanclos]

They will find a reason to deny us the national seed. I'm over it already.

We'll be a #9 seed and romp over LSu and Baylor to OKC.

I can see something really dumb happening like

8 - Oklahoma
9 - Louisiana

Where they'll say "what a great potential rematch in a super where Louisiana-Lafayette took 2 of 3 at home earlier this year"

I am not concerned about finishing outside of the Top 8 RPI now ... especially if Oklahoma loses tomorrow. So, we want to ensure that the selection committee has even less reason to give Oklahoma a national seed over Louisiana. It would be quite unfair ... as the Cajuns have them beat on all the important resume points. But I want to give them less reason to screw it up. Go Oklahoma State Cowboys!

I do think the committee will give Arizona State a Top 8 seed over the Cajuns. I also think it is likely Florida State has a spot as well. So, I think the Cajuns are likely fighting for the #8 seed ... quite possibly with the #7 RPI ranking (I need to tabulate the results from tonight ... still playing).

Michigan is in a dogfight with Minnesota right now ... 2-2 T7th with Michigan batting. Michigan winning would help.

How do you figure Baylor? They will not be a Top 8 National Seed (in Softball, there are 16 National Seeds ... unlike baseball where there are 8 National Seeds) and will host their own regional.

I wasn't thinking clearly.

PS I know what it felt like when the #4 team in America got what their AD said was "about the right seed."

I'm just not getting my hopes up.

Surprise me.
