Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 2723249, member: 2504"] I'm guessing you do not follow college baseball. There are exceptions for everything, and for the AAC the big exception is baseball. In terms of competition and quality teams, baseball is the one sport at UConn to benefit from moving from the Big East to the AAC. For baseball, the AAC is now always one one of the top conferences in the country. This season the AAC currently ranks 4th in the RPI, with 8 of 9 AAC teams lodged in the RPI top 100, and with 5 teams in the RPI top 50. The AAC in its few years has always gotten multiple bids to the NCAA baseball tourney. For the upcoming NCAA baseball tourney, expect to see the AAC to get 4 or 5 teams into the tourney, not a bad number when you are not the SEC or the ACC. Also, if UConn does well in the AAC tourney (getting to the finals or winning the tourney), there is a real chance that the Huskies could be selected as one of the 16 host seeds for the NCAA tournament. That despite having the No. 3 seed in the AAC tourney. [/QUOTE]
