virginia ended up 44-24 in 2015. we arent far off that pace assuming we win. 4 more wins would put us at 42-27. not bad for a team that started 14-15 really.

Yea that's why baseball is so great. A start like that in most other sports and there's no recovery.

Fresno State was 43-31 in 2008

So they were worse. IIRC, they were a 4 seed in the regional and only got into the tournament because they won the WAC tournament.

What I saw was 47-31

You're right but for some reason NCAA.com says 47-31

I'm not clear on their final record. It says 43-31 in multiple places, but if you look at the article right after the CWS win and at their schedule they went 47-31. Went 4-0 in WAC tourney, maybe that's being left out?

Wikipedia has their game by game results. 43-31 is correct. They played 18 post-season games (4 in WAC tourney, 4 in regionals, 3 in Super Regionals, 4 in CWS bracket play, and 3 in CWS finals. They would have had to play a 60 game regular season for it to be 47-31 (78 games). 56 is the max regular season length allowed by the NCAA.

Actually, if you look at the game by game on Wikipedia, they clearly played 78 games total, 60 in the regular season and had a 47-31 record. Still not sure why 43-31 is shown so many places or which is correct...

Weird. I stopped short of counting the regular season games because I just assumed the 56-game schedule was standard. I wonder if some of the games were exhibition games?

Also, they did have a road trip to Hawaii on their schedule. Some time ago, in football, the NCAA used to allow one extra game on the schedule to teams that played road games at Hawaii. I think it was due to the cost of the trip, and teams would usually schedule another home game in order to recoup some expenses. I wonder if a similar such rule exists for baseball (or did in 2008 )? Of course, that still wouldn’t explain why their record is listed differently than their schedule shows.

The St Louis Cardinals 06 World Series with an 83-78 record counted just like the '27 Yankees did.
