I made my opinion known in the selection show thread ... and on the radio a little over an hour ago. I thought what they did to Minnesota was awful.

Cool.what was their actual rpi spot?

Minnesota finished #11 in the RPI rankings. Since the 64 team format was established ... this is the highest RPI ranking to not earn a national seed. In fact, this is the only year when three of the RPI Top 16 missed a national seed.

Prior to the 2017 selections, the last ten years saw ...

(4) seasons where all RPI Top 16 teams were national seeds
(4) seasons where only one RPI Top 16 team missed a national seed
(2) seasons where two RPI Top 16 teams missed a national seed

This only proves that you have a lot of RPI educating work to do.

It's sad that the ones who should know everything about the RPI and its meaning seemingly know nothing.

So take it a step further......the teams that are gifted are the home teams and get the hosting advantage....the screwed get to travel and are disadvantaged as travelers......ergo a skewed possible result of advancing to the sups.......it stinks and if the committee's choices do advance they are now substantiated......so Geaux Cajuns!!!

Just a note showing how dominant this team was. We scored 442 runs, 8.18/game and our opponents scored 120 runs, 2.2/game....My take on this is, they, the committee should look at it and say, "this team don't belong in the SBC". If not for the cancelled games they could have gone 51-6, best in the nation. My numbers could be a little off.

The softball selection committee this year believed that quality softball is only played in a few areas of the country. RPI, other statistics, actual games played and other overwhelming contradictory facts be damned. Why can't the NCAA put knowledgeable softball people on the selection committee?
