Regional Seeding

[sportsfanatic21]

In the #1 teams regional, in theory, the 2 seed is the #32 overall seed. And the 3 seed the #33…according to whoever and whatever the whoever uses. So one team being “better” is highly subjective.

And in each of the top overall seeds regionals, those numbers are also very close. AND, not always perfectly done like that due to having to move “same conference” schools around, etc.

Other than batting first or last, unless you’re the 2 seed in one of the non “national seed” regionals, it really doesn’t make much difference…in my opinion.

And for those that feel differently, that’s perfectly fine.

I see a few posts back that this is indeed an opinion board.

Some opinions are coupled with logical information. Some…not.

I don’t care how close they are to each other, the committee at least makes a decision that 32 is better than 33 and places them in the bracket as one that is better than the other.

You can post 50 times and that won’t change.

Also, every place you see Cajuns as 3 and others have them as a 2, that’s just an opinion from someone whose opinion counts for absolutely zero

Kind of like all opinions on this board, maybe except for GG who at least knows enough about the statistics and committees past process to be pretty accurate

So you’re sticking with your theory that there is a MOUND of difference?

One is a 2 and the other is a 3. In a field of 4, yes. Now I’m done. You can do your gymnastics with others here. GG dismissed it all with a proclaimed NO COMMENT yesterday and I’m doing the same today.

Oh, and it’s not a theory, it’s fact.

[sportsfanatic21]

You’re welcome to your opinion, as we all are.

You may want to locate the definition of “fact” though.

But, you’re right, it’s time to move on from this.

nobody is anything until the committee seeds them

once the committee seeds them, it’s a fact

But how is their time at the regional different....
Given same team either way how does (other than batting firts or 2nd) does anything change just if the number next to name changes

It’s a fact that one is seeded higher than the other. Nobody said anything to the contrary.

Being seeded 2 or 3 DOES NOT mean one team is “better” than the other, particularly in the top seeded teams regionals. And especially to the degree that it’s some big disadvantage to be the 3 seed instead of the 2.

When we’re talking about the difference in the 2 and 3 seed in the #15 or #16 seed’s regional, then yes, the 2 seed likely had a more impressive season than the 3 seed.

But this entire conversation has been about the Cajuns baseball team, at least that’s my assumption due to this being the Cajuns message board and talk of seeding would be about where the Cajuns will be seeded. And the Cajuns will be likely be in one of the “National” seed regionals…where the difference between the 2 and the 3 is negligible, if it exists at all. Hence…it doesn’t matter other than what uniform you wear and if you bat in the top of the bottom of each inning.

It’s not the MOUND of a difference you proclaimed with one of your other user names.

I said I was moving on the last time I commented on this. So I apologize for not sticking to my word, and am now done with this for real. There’s simply nothing else to say about it and my mind won’t be changed…and I couldn’t possibly care less that anyone who disagrees with me about it changes theirs either. It was a quick discussion point that went WAY off the rails.

Back to the Cajuns, I was hoping they would be “one of the middle teams” in a region hosted by someone other than the top 5 or 6 teams likely to hold seeds 1-5/6, because that host team will be one of the most difficult to have to beat twice (along with beating another team or two) to advance.

That isn’t likely now with the performance in Montgomery, so it’s probably a moot point. It’ll now be more difficult to win a regional, but not impossible. We’ll find out the result of all of it next week

That is the longest post I have ever seen to say nothing.

Now tell me again what is your objection to MY post to which you responded?

[Jacob81]

Cajuns current rpi is 37. We need to pull for usm and Georgia southern today since we have 6 games against them and want usm to get in the top 25. We want usm to win the tournament. That should yield our highest possible rpi come Monday.
