I missed one.

I did get all 16 #1 seeds (and regional sites from yesterday). I got 7/8 national seeds. The other sites did not have Georgia Tech (I did). But I had South Carolina instead of Louisville (I still think the South Carolina resume is better than Louisville ... RPI reigns again).

As for the one miss in the field of 64 ...
They selected Arizona over Kentucky. This is surprising since Kentucky has 12 wins against the RPI Top 25 (12-12). Arizona has 5 (5-8). Also a better record vs. the Top 50 RPI. Kentucky was also much better down the stretch ... Arizona was putrid and does not play on the road outside of conference. They fell back onto their RPI crutch (24 vs. 33).

I also think Arizona is not selected over Kentucky if the Pac 10 did not take over the #1 conference RPI spot.

UL was mentioned (they said Lafayette actually) during the conversation about Kentucky not making the tourney. They compared their top 50 Rpi wins vs our 14 (only) top 100 wins.

Yes, that was from an ESPN analyst. Not one of the sharpest knives in the drawer when it comes to college baseball ... IMHO.

Boys with Louisville in the tourney....The pundits when referring to us... will use Lafayette on many more than 1 occasion.... Know it, deal with it, own it.... It is what it is... Just remember, we are 1 of 64 in the tourney... 150+ teams are at home wishing their names would be mentioned as a participant in this tourney...

GEAUX UL!!!
