NCAA Softball Selections

Every year, we complain that they pretend our softball team doesn't belong in the elite group of teams.

Last night, there was no question. No apology for this school being in the top 6. No stammering to try to explain it.

This is what we've been asking for.

So what's the problem?

Oh, I forgot: we're Ragin' Cajuns. We have to suck the life out of everything like it's a crawfish head.

I am not sure that ESPN got this correct. Missouri was #9 entering the week (.65628 ... .00427 behind Oklahoma) ... and lost their only game of the week ... the SEC opener vs. an LSU team that finished 35-22 (not a great OWP contribution for Missouri). Missouri did not pass #6 Louisiana or #7 Florida State. I would be very surprised if they passed #8 Oklahoma. Possible, but it does not feel right. Oklahoma was 2-0 this week ... both games vs. Oklahoma State.

… and my intuition was correct. Missouri actually finished with the #10 RPI ranking.

Once again, your Top 8 RPI were the Top 8 National Seeds.

Your Top 16 RPI were the Top 16 National Seeds.

Louisiana was #6 (RPI), as I expected. Florida State was #7 and Oklahoma was #8, as expected. Arizona State was #9.

Texas finished with the #26 RPI ranking. Mississippi State #30.

So Mike was right when he said we had a pretty stout regional as compared to some of the others.

Some had predicted or speculated on an all Louisiana regional. We know were State wound up. Where did NSU and the Brokebakettes wind up?

Thanks. So I see NSU in the Baylor Regional but don't see the Brokebackettes. I guess that means they wound up in the ulm regional with the Hoaxettes and Techettes.

Brokebackettes. Clever. Boy, are we "big time."
