When is the last time we played Coastal in postseason? Like 2009? I may be forgetting one, so honest question, not being a jerk.
Shouldn’t be a surprise.
Said yesterday we were likely the 5 seed, the committee has always valued RPI over everything. Without a regular season or tournament championship, we were at the mercy of the committee.
I think it’s dumb but ultimately doesn’t matter.
2 years in a row Auburn gets an rpi bump despite 17-18 conference wins.
Last year was far more egregious
Last year was far more egregious
Doubt auburn makes it to Omaha too
They care way too much about RPI and ignore every other metric. Been that way for years
This was all done so that SEC teams weren’t all of 5-8 with the way they’re doing 2 seeds now. It’s such BS.
Last year was far worse imo, we just got kinda screwed by our acc schedule (uva getting injured, no FSU, FSU losing to Pitt in the acct, clemson and louisville being mediocre to bad) it left a lot off our resume that usually is there. We do have the best series win in the country, and are 3 in DSR, 4 in rpi and KPI. I think we gotta figure out a way to get a semi decent 3rd nonconf series in there though. Le Moyne dragged down some stats and could have been the difference (switch that with something like Mercer or Western Carolina and we’re prolly the 4 anyway)
Not only did they give auburn the 4, they give them an absolute cake walk regional
Imagine being in the SEC where you can lose 19-20 games and still get a top 6 overall seed
Nah, they had nothing behind that resume. it’s just interesting when they pick and choose to follow rpi
You’re right. They won Texas State but lost to ODU and then got beat by Louisiana in their final series and the tourney. Figured Schnall would pull a Gilmore and stay because he can write his own ticket for as long as he wants but sounds like he’s going. They just aren’t playing well and haven’t since the UNC win. Once the word got out about Schnall, the whole atmosphere and attitude changed!
I mean it is always true in the major sports
I am not a Statistician-but if you get tons of your folks ranked early-their conference losses are all to ranked teams-a win win for all
WVU gets a March Madness bid a couple of years ago with a losing conference record-but all the Big 12 was all ranked
SEC football the same-every year
I reckin people had this complaint about ACC basketball 25 years ago?
Never forget when we didn’t get in with a #16 RPI and the host sites were RPI #1-15 and 17.
