It’s that time of year, and for the Huskies it’s the RPI. They are ranked 14th in Collegiate Baseball’s latest poll, No. 15 in D1Baseball.com’s top 25, 16th by USA Today, 13th by the U.S. college baseball writers and No. 8 by Perfect Game, but are conspicuously unranked by Baseball America. The Huskies’ RPI, 57th, could mean they will have run the gauntlet of a conference tournament to secure a berth in the NCAA’s field of 64. The Big East doesn’t have another team in the top 80, and many of UConn’s nonconference opponents have lower RPI numbers than anticipated, though wins over South Florida, Louisville, Pepperdine, USC and Boston College could gain value over the next month. “If we rattle off, win, win, win, just keep winning, I don’t think there’s a committee in America that’s going to look at a number and say, ‘Hey, wait a second,’” Penders said. “Why have a committee of human beings if it’s just a number? Why not use some common sense?” There’s an easy way to avoid it — easy, at least, the way UConn has been playing. “Dory from Finding Nemo says, ‘Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming,” Penders said. “We’ve adopted, ‘Just keep winning. Just keep winning.’ W-E-G, win every game. I do think this team is better than some of the at-large teams we’ve had, but that’s a biased opinion.” <- [/QUOTE]
