The SEC these days is just baseball with good players. 

Yea I mean at some point collecting the best players and coaches tends to elevate a conference. I guess if a 6th different team from the same conference doesn’t win it all this year the overrated discussions will have legs.

Texas will definitely move up, with a win tomorrow to probably #2. A loss could move you down to #3.

Sweep or at least a series win over #3 Georgia.

Tennessee is #1 and loses the series to lowly Aggy at home. Two bad losses.

Then there is #4 Florida State, who got run ruled today at home in seven innings to Wake Forest 12-0.

Arkansas is #2 and will beat up on Missouri in two games tomorrow to run their overall record to 30-3 and no worse than tied for first in the SEC with a 11-1 record.

Texas at #5 will either be tied with Pig at 11-1 in the SEC or at 10-2. A win tomorrow gives Texas a 26-4 overall record, a loss 25-5.

The loss to Texas State Tuesday has to figure into the equation some.

Basically, Pig will be #1.

With a win tomorrow Texas will probably be #2.

A loss and the Vols might stay at #2 and Texas #3.

The real thing to remember is that these rankings at this point don't mean that much.

Yesterday's game got me from George West to Baytown and somehow, I managed not to even see Victoria, El Campo, Wharton or Houston.  Must be a space time warp continuum or something, good thing I didn't run out gas.   IMO, one of our best games this season, if not the best.  Schloss, the pitching and the bats wouldn't take NO for an answer.   The troops rallied back at home and stomped 'em.  GA throws everything they have today at us, they need to save a little bit of "face".   Will not matter, Schloss counters with another ass kickin' and we get a sweep.  

In the meantime, let us all enjoy this I think it is appropriate.

Can you read?

And what top 5 team has pig beaten in a series?

I literally quoted what you said. This is amazing. Going 5-1 at Vandy and at Ole Miss is nearly as impressive as 4-1 at home against LSU/UGA. And Arky hasn’t dropped 2 midweek games.  As I said before, the resumes are comparable. Nothing is “clear”.

Right. So did you read what you quoted. And in what you quoted I stipulated “if Aggy beats Tennessee”. 
Ole Miss isn’t a top 5 team, and we’ve beaten them. Vandy isn’t a top 5 team. Arky lost to Missouri State and Kansas State which is equal at best to our losses to UTSA and Tx St. 
We have two top 5 series wins. Our resume is clearly better.

For whatever it's worth, which is probably nothing, Arky's RPI going into this weekend was 1, and ours was 12.

If that’s what Rex needs to hear to leave the baseball board that’s fine with me.

1 and 5 now. Their SOS was 20. Ours is 45. We have the more high profile wins, though they’re at home. Saying something is clear when comparing the two is blowhard hyperbole.

I don't think we are actually a top 3 team until we get Rodriguez back. If he and Belyeu weren't hurt, I think with what we have in the bullpen with Grubbs and Volantis, we are somewhere in the 1-3 actual best teams. We just can't be right now due to those 2 guys being out. Can Gasparino continue to hit like this? I think that will be the key to us continuing to do well.

100%. Losing those two bats is massive in this lineup. There just isn’t much depth. Winfield being a bust hurts this roster so much

Tennesseee lost 1 game to aggy in their 2 game series.

Tennessee is dropping a lot farther than 2 or 3. Assuming Missouri doesn’t pull off the impossible they will fall behind Arky, Texas, LSU, and Clemson at minimum. After that it is a matter of opinion and what happens today for Georgia and Florida State

Don’t think so. Think they’ll be 4 behind LSU.

UTSA is quietly up to #31 in RPI. 7-2 in the AAC with series wins over solid FAU and UAB teams. It may not happen this week but they might be another good week away from cracking the top 25.

Texas State is also just outside the top 100 in RPI, which is the cutoff for Q4 games so it would be nice if they snuck inside that mark to make that loss sting a little less.

We have quite a few midweek games left against top 100 RPI teams: Houston Christian, Lamar and UTRGV at home + the road game at Texas State. This midweek schedule has turned out to be more challenging than I thought a few months ago.

They lost 7 non conference games including losses to Omaha, Creighton, and udub.

Also, their eight conference wins have come against:

  • Utah 13-16, 2-10
  • Baylor 21-9, 5-6
  • Tech 8-18, 4-6

And they just lost to 13-14, 2-6 OSU yesterday. They're currently RPI 22, so not that far off from UTSA, actually.

Kansas State is not a bad team by any means, but they're not some world beater just because they're currently leading their conference after beating up on one average and two bad teams. There's a decent chance that one or fewer Big 12 teams makes it to a Super.

aggy is not about to roll over for us….it will be a very tough series….throw out the records….they have every incentive a team needs to pull out all the stops to spoil our year.

 

 

 

While in a way I do agree with you, they said coming to Kyle would be too daunting for us. They're coming to Disch Faulk and we have the better coach. He knows all of their strengths and weaknesses. We win that series 3-0, imo, because of Schloss and Weiner.
