Men Wins needed for a 2023 NCAA At - Large bid

It's too bad, but now that UHart is transitioning to DIII, we should not schedule them again.

In the post game interview Coach Penders talked about Hartford baseball and their coaching staff, who are former UConn coaches. Penders said that this will be the last game against Hartford due to their dropping out of D1 after this season.
 
Just got into Tampa on way to Houston. We got another win, let’s keep it going.

Sorry about no color below, can’t figure out on my phone.

Go Huskies!!!

Fun to dream 7weeks in…

Same Regional as Baseball America but different teams other than host:

BRIGHTON
1 Boston College (8)
4 Central Connecticut*
2 Connecticut*
3 Northeastern

* * D1 also projecting BE as a two-bid conference w/ Xavier & UConn making the field **
 
I apologize that I have not been updating chart as timely as usual. Got back from Houston Wednesday, needed to catch up at work and now leaving for an out of state wedding this weekend. Overall liked what we have done, but the Columbia game still bothers me. Big series away at Xavier this weekend. They are currently the only other Big East team with an RPI under 100. They come in at 38 and have won their last 11 games.

Would love to win this series.

Go Huskies !!!

Hoping UConn's Big East record will also be in the green after next weekend's home series against Georgetown. I will note that the Georgetown series may be a little more competitive than what we were initially expecting. Georgetown's RPI had been moving towards the 200 range as the season progressed, but this week they have been improving their record some, with beating Maryland on the road during the midweek, and so far having split a home series against a solid Creighton team this weekend (the previous weekend they had lost a series to Seton Hall club that is now over 200 in the RPI). As usual, we'll see what happens.

Georgetown won today, so they took the series against Creighton. Georgetown now has an RPI of 158, which is an improvement from when it was in the 200 range. Creighton now has an RPI of 119.

We are (as of 6:00pm) #14 RPI. BC has dropped to #17. Wins Tuesday and Wednesday against NE and BC will enhance our chances to host a regional. It’s a long way off, but these games are crucial.
 
Update, at 6:51pm. Now we are #16. This is just like hockey. RPI changes with each game.

Yup, RPI is always bouncing around as more results from other games from other teams come in. All depends on when you look at it.
 
Discussion on hosting:


-> Greg: With six mid-majors in the top 25 and four in the top 16, how many mid-majors could we see host?
Aaron Fitt: I think Coastal is in the best position to host based on its current spot at No. 9 in the RPI, and the fact that the Sun Belt is strong this year means Coastal should remain in good RPI shape if it can continue to win in the league — this weekend against Southern Miss is huge. If the Golden Eagles win that series, I love their chances to host, and even if they lose two out of three they should remain right in the hunt, considering they’re currently 15th in the RPI. ECU feels like a lock to host, and UConn is also in great shape with a No. 16 RPI, but we’ll see if they can maintain that RPI in the Big East, which figures to be a drag on their SOS as the season continues. I think DBU is a darkhorse here — I like the Patriots to win C-USA, and they’re currently 18th in the RPI and red-hot. Their pitching is real; wouldn’t surprise me to see them leapfrog some of these others. Campbell fell a bunch in the RPI after that Longwood series, showing how hard it can be to build a host resumé in a lesser league. <-
 



-> The hosting race is shaping up excitingly and there are a few new hosts in this week’s field. Connecticut, Indiana, Oregon and Southern Miss move up, while Boston College, Campbell, Louisville and Oklahoma State fall out. Louisville and Campbell were just off the host line in this projection. BC and Oklahoma State have scuffled in conference play lately and need to climb back up the standings to host (Oklahoma State also has RPI trouble).

UConn and Southern Miss are in the top 20 in RPI and at or near the top of their conferences. UConn may be at an RPI peak because after Wednesday it won’t face a top-100 RPI team the rest of the regular season. Southern Miss, meanwhile, must keep up its pace in the more difficult Sun Belt conference. But if both teams can stay in this range, they’ll be in strong spots to host. <-

UConn faces Rhode Island in a midweek game, and Creighton at the end of the season. They both currently a bit over 100 in the RPI, I suppose there is a slight possibility that both of those teams could make the top 100 in RPI before UConn faces them. Still, most of the teams UConn will face after Georgetown (152 RPI) this weekend have RPI's near or over 200.

-> As for the rest of the Top 16 hosts, Boston College and Oklahoma State dropped completely out of the mix for those as well, while three teams entered as hosts this week: Coastal Carolina, Connecticut and Indiana. Coastal currently leads a top-five RPI league in the Sun Belt, and has an RPI of 11 to go with an 11-8 mark vs. RPI Top 100. UConn is an impressive 13-6 on the road, is 10-7 vs. RPI Top 100 and has an RPI of 16, and Indiana has surged to 14 in the RPI with a 26-11 overall mark and 9-3 Big Ten record. For those wondering, BC is still in the mix for a host as of now with an RPI of 17, while Oklahoma State is all the way down to 32 in the RPI after scuffling as of late. Other teams considered for hosts include Southern Miss, NC State, Dallas Baptist, Louisville, UCLA, Campbell and Indiana State. <-

Yes, that’s the way RPI works. It is purely results driven, meaning that each new data point (ie a game result) added changes some portion of it.

However, today’s RPI doesn’t matter for anything or anyone. In some ways, today’s RPI doesn’t exist. Because the formula is known, people can compile it based on the results we know, but the actual RPI that will be used for tournament selection basically isn’t run until the final results have been entered.

The only day it actually matters is when the committee makes their selections.

This is the same for any NCAA RPI calculation in any sport.
