SB 2023 Tourney

[RaginDave]

Here are the season ending RPI's of the teams in this tournament, pretty salty.

2 Virginia Tech
3 Florida State
4 Arkansas
5 Alabama
6 UCLA
7 Oklahoma State
9 Duke
15 UCF
21 Michigan
27 Louisiana
28 Nebraska
30 Mississippi State
39 South Florida
40 Texas A&M
43 Arizona
71 Indiana

15 of the 16 teams were in regionals this year, only Indiana missed a regional. 8 of these teams made Super Regionals with 13 of these teams playing in Regional Finals.

This is crazy.

This is crazy.

OSU isn't in the national championship game.

A. Why dont they continue to calculate rpi throughout the postseason
B. Why cant the SBC Softball Tournament be scheduled further out in advance

A. Why dont they continue to calculate rpi throughout the postseason
B. Why cant the SBC Softball Tournament be scheduled further out in advance

A. I would presume since the RPI is a tool used by the NCAA to assist w/ determining school’s NCAA Tournament / Regional merit, it’s not necessary once the tournament / regional begins.

B. As conf tournaments (aside from maybe basketball) do not require as much (i.e. multi-year) planning, determining sites at the annual conf meetings for the following year makes sense, as school AD/presidents will have a better idea of budget, program interest and (most importantly) how good their team might be, it makes sense to determine the year prior.

A. They do. The final rankings will be posted now that the season is completed. It's likely to be today or Monday.

B. CajunSID gave the correct answer to that question.

Thank you for answering! see it is possible!

great point about the conf tourny, granted id prefer more advance notice and some sort of rotation protocol, but that is a very good answer and makes sense.

why not always let the defending champs host (if they can/ want to)

It would always be at UL or James Madison.
