First Field of 64 projections

Gators' weak SOS is not just because of our in-state opponents, but we've had a "soft schedule" this year in the SEC- not playing west power houses- LSU and Arky, and instead beating up on Ole Miss, Mizzou until runninng into a buzzsaw at Aggieland. My take - to be in the running for a National Seed we will have to close very strong - at minimum win 4 of 6 and win two games in SECT

 

We have no more midweeks. Our last midweek game should have been UNF on April 25. The only reason we played FSU last Tuesday was because it was rescheduled from 3/28 due to weather.

 

Strange twist to the schedule. If the FSU game had not been rescheduled there would have been no midweek games in May.

 

I was kinda thinking the same thing - you don't have to drop a RPI killer in May if you don't schedule any lol

 

Yeah, I think UF would get a top 8 seed with either a win in the final 2 series. Interested to see how some other series the last 2 weeks play out.

 

The baseball seedlings always frustrate me because they give too much weight to RPI and not enough to the more advanced models. Our ELO is five, but our RPI is 11.
But it doesn’t matter much, we have Vandy and UK left, we will determine our own fate.

 

How badly did three games with FSU hurt our RPI?

 

lol fortunately we didn’t lose any of them to compound the damage.

 

I looked at Indiana State's record and am trying to see what is so impressive other than winning a midweek game at Vandy.

 

2 really bad losses in the first couple of weeks of the season (USF and JU), but I think the bigger issue is being 5th or 6th in the SEC by some metrics. As mentioned above, there's opportunity to secure a top 8.

Go GATORS!

D1 is out and has us as a 9 seed but I'm more surprised they have Kentucky as the 8 seed. Again we control where we end up but it seems they are assuming UK wins the series to jump us 2 weeks in advance.
