Aubie is #14.

True but from an RPI standpoint I figured Vanderbilt was more deserving.  Oh well potentially less whistling = happy.

Only 5 of the preseason top 16 are hosting. With 2 more likely than not to miss the tournament.

Whew.  I don't remember the preseason favorites flailing so hard.  Seems like those early rankings hold pretty true and often inflate later-season rankings.

[Rickylovesweed 15437]

If the NCAA cares about views they would put Tech or OU in aggys regional and then pair it with the Texas regional. 

Sets up a juicy match up either way. 

[zlavydra 2142]

RPI question: are you better off beating shitty teams on the road or good teams at home? Just wondering if we should schedule an all road non-con schedule at Rice, Alcorn State, St. Peters, etc.

[Rickylovesweed 15437]

Selection show starting. 

[Rickylovesweed 15437]

Wild, I didn't see any aggy highlights during that CWS preview. 

[BigOrange1 6611]

oklahoma state got a top 8 seed

[Rickylovesweed 15437]

I did not expect Oklahoma State to get a top 8 seed. 

[Radical Larry 28818]

[NeverMarryAStripper 22273]

What a gift seed to aggy.  I hope they choke at home.

[BigOrange1 6611]

aggy at #5 🙄

[Rickylovesweed 15437]

I don't think that's a gift seed to aggy. TCU can beat them. 

[Okie State 3888]

oklahoma state got a top 8 seed

Wow. Did not expect that at all with how we finished the season.

Me neither.  I wonder if part of that is a nod to the stadium quality.  Also opening with a series win at Vandy helped national perception.

Texas Tech gets Ga Southern.

[zlavydra 2142]

Don't see GA Southern making it out of that one.  

[BigOrange1 6611]

we're #9

[Rickylovesweed 15437]

Of course they give us Air Force. 

[BigOrange1 6611]

austin regional: texas vs air force, dallas baptist vs. louisiana tech

[zlavydra 2142]

Anyone know anything about LA Tech?

[UTEX_ME 4289]

welp we are either going to dominate these teams or go 2 and Q. Lets see which Horns show up. 

[chase25 2048]

We’ll see you game 1 Lucas Gordon

Edited May 30, 2022 by chase25

[Rickylovesweed 15437]

We have a good super pairing. We can beat East Carolina if they even advance. 

Edited May 30, 2022 by Rickylovesweed

[Wulaw Horn 19579]

Nothing but minnows in the road to

Omaha. No big conference schools and matched jobs against East Carolina as our host. 

that’s a gift. Take advantage.

Good chance we are hosting the Super Regional as well with that 8 seed regional.

Can't??

Allie P supposedly kept us from hosting a few times so I'm sure it's one of several factors.

[Valmy77 13610]

Airforce is our 4th seed? Well definitely need to start Hansen or Gordon for that one.

I think this is the format for the rest of the season. Any given day we can dominate or be dominated. 

[Rickylovesweed 15437]

Meant "can". 

I think Virginia will win that regional anyways. 

[BigOrange1 6611]

the 4 seed has a better record than the 1 seed in the college station regional 🤣

[NeverMarryAStripper 22273]

You knew that was coming.  FU aggy

[chase25 2048]

Another note is we are matched with Tennessee game 1 at Omaha if both get there.

[Knoxtnhorn 6287]

Good to know the lowest team (RPI) gets rewarded for canceling 2 games.  

[Homercles 10206]

Oh boy, our kryptonite ORU headed to Aggy…

[UTEX_ME 4289]

Pray the good Frogs show up, otherwise cake walk for aggy to Omaha.

Nothing is a cake walk for aggy

That's not an easy draw for aggy. 

Oral Roberts is pretty good and they have a legit Friday night starter for that game 1. 

[Valmy77 13610]

Sooners going to Gainesville.

WOW. The NCAA committee must have been on a bender this weekend 

['stache 22131]

Didn’t expect 7 overall but I’ll take it. Happy to avoid ORU and DBU, those guys are such problems for us. Also happy to avoid another super against Tech, that was such horseshit a few years ago.

Going to assume they will save him for game 2 then. Most teams want their #1 throwing the winners bracket game or an elimination game 

[Godzillatron 295]

So, cancel games the could hurt your RPI, profit?

Why would a 4 seed save there #1 guy?

What an aggy move. Such little bitches.

They wouldn’t. It’s silly. 

[Valmy77 13610]

So if we make it to Omaha we would get the winner of Tennessee's super in the first game. 

That's a game it would be good to have Hansen for.

No chance because they're playing aggy in game 1. They need to win that game.
