Only UCLA, Mississippi State, Florida and North Carolina clear every hurdle without being close on any metric.
Care to provide a little more insight into what you are saying?
What metrics? Why only 14 teams? The field will be 64 teams.
Help me.

It's saying every CWS champion since 2009 has passed each of those individual metrics, and those are the 14 teams left this season which are passing each of those metrics.
Edit: click the image and read it.
They're right there in the table. No team has won the CWS without being above a certain threshold in those season-long metrics. We are one of only four schools left that have clearly met the criteria.
I find it interesting that no champion since '09 has had more than a 4 game losing streak.
Whoa. Watch out for Jacksonville State, ya’ll.
Why does it only go back to 2009? That’s really not all that far.

They will be a 2 seed to watch somewhere. Probably Auburn or Georgia, but could be in Starkville.
Probably because that's when the stats start to work. Fresno State in 2008 throws it off I bet.
Need to either go back to when the best of 3 finals started (which I believe was 2003), or only use 2015 and on (when the balls changed).
Thats what I figured- it starts in '09 because that is the timeframe in which the analysis works.
2008 winner was Fresno State, with an RPI of 89.
And as soon as a team wins that doesnt meet all the metric thresholds...then what? Does the metric that didnt work just get dropped? Does it become 'all but 1 team since '09' as the qualifier?
In the end, it is an interesting screenshot of statistics. I mean, there is obviously some strong correlation.
10 of the top 12 RPI teams are listed. I wonder what was the lowest RPI team to win the CWS since '09.
I can’t decide if they’re winning it all or not even making it to Omaha. It’s been a while since they’ve been tested against a good team.
I’ve just seen enough teams that seemed like Omaha locks not get there to feel like even this UCLA team isn’t safe.
I think I said this the day after we lost to them, we will see them in Omaha. I still believe we are destined to play them again.
yeah but who even uses the metric system, this is America dude
That game felt to me like that first game against Texas in the beginning of 2021. Agree that I felt like we’d see them again
UGA hits a ton but I'm not sold on their pitching. We just didn't hit **** that weekend. I didn't think their pitching staff was overly impressive. We've seen better, much better.
They lead the league with a 18 - 6 record, They deserve more credit, than whatever the RPI says. And they solidly beat our ***, at our house.
Maybe so but TN solidly beat our *** too so there's that. They're good but they're not great and they're not winning it all. UCLA is far and away the best team and it's not close.
I dint know. They’ve played 2 top 40 teams since the preseason tournament. A highly overrated USC team that 0-8 vs Q1 opponent that they swept. And #30 Santa Barbara who beat them 4-0. To call their schedule garbage is being kind. They’re a good team. But I think we can beat them.
There's no doubt we can... We had them beat if not for the combo of a wild bounce and the worst (or maybe second worst) umpire call against us all season. I'm not blaming it all on the umpire but we definitely could/should have won that damn game.
They barely beat us, 8-7, in 10 innings at a neutral site with a wild pitch and a triple and we are in a tie for 4th in the SEC. So I don't see how they are an overwhelming favorite to win it all.
How many games have we lost on wild pitches/past balls? I count at least 4.
It's as valid as this one.
The following SEC teams STILL have not been to the SEC Championship in Atlanta:
1) University of Mississippi
2) Vanderbilt
3) Kentucky
and the recent SEC members:
4) Texas A&M
5) Oklahoma
Going to be much harder to get there now that the top 2 teams of the 16 team conference (for now) qualify...
If we make Omaha I would rather have UCLA on my side than Georgia or Texas.
After 27 innings, they had beaten us by one run, and two runs, and tied us through regulation. No doubt winning all three on the road is a big deal, and they were better than us that weekend. But not sure that is "solidly beating our ***". Texas beat us by 2 runs and 5 runs while dropping a three run game against us. Had that been in Starkville, while the results of UGA were obviously better, I wouldn't say that UGA's was more of an *** whipping than UTs.
