RPI now 15 = Drivers seat for regional? (RPI now 9)

When you look at FSU, they are 7-10 in Q1 and we are 9-7. But their Q1 wins are on the lower edge. They are 0-7 against RPI top 15, while we are 5-2 against top 7. Included in that is a h2h win against them 10-1.

Southern Missouri built up their resume winning a lot of quality Tuesday games early in the season. But then faded in them later in the year. Does the committee look at pitching matchups because it's a lot different if you are lining up against their midweek guys, especially early in the year vs the weekend rotation. They seemed to be loved by the committee in the past though.

Oregon, Oregon State, Kansas, and VWU are all behind us and unless we drop the next 2 games, they will be solidly behind us, and even then, we probably stay solidly in the top 16.

Last year TCU got jumped over in hosting by Southern Miss, but that was 19 over 18. None of those teams have better metric than us and lack the quality wins, with the exception of Kansas because of the the 2 h2h wins against us.

If we were to win the tournament again this hear, I don't see how we don't move in the top 8 after beating USC and UCLA.

I'm talking about those four teams being currently projected over Nebraska in the D1 tournament field, not the RPI. If the committee prioritizes the RPI over everything else, then you'll probably be right (assuming NU win the Big 10 tournament). The guys who project the field, who supposedly have conversations with the movers and shakers, take a more holistic approach. For example, what you say about Florida State is true, but they're also significantly ahead of Nebraska in things like strength of schedule, conference strength ratings, the DSR, and the KPI. It's all good, though. Just opinions to think about at this point.

The guys that do these projections are usually not putting much thought into them. They will look at rankings or something and just fill in a bracket.

Right now, the gap to FSU is too wide. But let's say they are they are the 8 and we are the 9, we are going to make a good case for it. We would have work to do to get there and the BIG tournament would give us that opportunity.

Sorry no.

Win out B10 title and maybe a regional. No chance for a super unless UCLA or GTech or NC loses it’s regional.

Is it your position that the committee would take the unprecedented position in leaving out a high RPI team out of the host spot? There is absolutely 0 chance that if we are 11 or 12 in the RPI, like we are now, we aren't hosting.

We win the conference tournament with wins over a top 10 team and the #1 team in the nation and we are going to be right around that #8 line. I think this is a case to root for UCLA to make the final, to get that opportunity.

We can all have different opinions about how any of this is going to shake out for the teams, but the bolded sentence is 100% false when it comes Kendall Rogers, Aaron Fitt and Mark Etheridge, the guys who project the field every week for D1 Baseball. The guys who on that podcast are among the best in the business. They very well may be wrong, but their discussions are the literal opposite of what you're saying there.

As for Nebraska, we'll see. They had a good weekend and I'd expect them to be back in the host discussion now. I hope you end up being right and Nebraska is a top 8 national seed.
 
After Minn sweep, RPI sitting at 9.
41 regular season wins.
9-7 against Quad 1 opponents.

Pictures a little kid in the back seat of the car. "Are we there yet??"

Our RPI is 10 today. If we win the B1G tourney why wouldn't we move above #8 USC into at least the 9 slot and possibly 8 by beating UCLA? So logically why wouldn't we have a chance to host supers unless your only excuse is that we're in the B1G and only the SEC plays baseball?
 
Super regular season by the Huskers! I give proper credit to Will Bolt and staff for manufacturing good credentials through this season in the W/L column, RPI, and solid list of Quad 1 victories. Team culture was outstanding as evidenced by the number of come from behind victories. Could never count us out of a game! This team deserves to host a regional and I'm glad they were awarded one.

Our weakness this season if I were to nit pick would have to be relief pitching. When we got in trouble, sometimes it would get worse quickly when we moved to relievers. Our solid offense, from top to bottom - The never say die attitude bailed us out many times.

This year, the Huskers were truly a "team". No one was bigger than the power of the whole. While I wouldn't put down money on the Huskers to make the CWS, I won't count them out. Y'all know the saying "On Any Given Day" anything can happen. Let's win our regional, and see where we can go from there! GBR! GBR!
