Men Wins Needed for a 2024 At Large bid

"UConn, meanwhile, is a lock after finishing the regular season with a win against Butler to win the Big East by three games with a 17-4 record and a No. 37 RPI."

 
It’s no Hockey East ;) but…

This is where the 2-seed talk is coming from. Big West a one-bid league? Bottom of that league is that bad? A shocker to me. They are getting at least 2 in for sure - UCSB and UCI. Big East should get two if RPI means anything at all. It won’t if we win the tourney. Heck, bias against underfunded programs and crappy fields has our own reasonable fans questioning the league. I think one win in tourney cements it.
 
The SEC is ridiculous


Five teams are tied for seventh place with a 13-17 record in the league, and all five will play on Tuesday. Each team’s RPI is 30 or better, which suggests all five are in decent shape to receive an at-large bid. If all five do make it, the SEC would send a record 11 teams to the NCAA Tournament. Here’s a quick look at the SEC’s bubble, in order of seed at the SEC tournament, with each team’s RPI and KPI (a metric the selection committee will be using this year) as well as first-round opponent:

  • No. 7 Alabama (33-21 overall, RPI 18, KPI 17, vs. South Carolina)
  • No. 8 Vanderbilt (35-20 overall, RPI 27, KPI 19, vs. Florida)
  • No. 9 Florida (28-26 overall, RPI 24, KPI 20, vs Vanderbilt)
  • No. 10 South Carolina (33-21, RPI 19, KPI 22, vs. Alabama)
  • No. 11 LSU (36-20, RPI 30, KPI 21 vs. Georgia)

FIRST FOUR OUT: Cincinnati, Louisville, California, Xavier
East Carolina Region is what I’m hoping for. Uconn seems to play well there and I think they’d be fairly confident no matter the bracket. Maybe either NC State or UCSB Region should one of those teams host. I’ll take a rematch with UCSB.
 
All four teams they played are first 4 out. crazy
That’s not good lol. I’m really starting to hope for a 3 seed even if they win out and get a 2 somewhere. On paper and without obviously knowing the teams, it might make for an easier road to the Supers.

St. John's and Georgetown are currently not projected here to make the tournament either in addition to Xavier. It will be interesting to see if one of those teams make the NCAA Tournament if they get to the Big East Tournament finals.

D1 baseball podcast wasn’t to high on any of them making it as an at large other then UConn who they said was a lock. Xavier really shot themselves in the foot last weekend.

Not horrible outside of Tenn.
 
Unfortunately LSU is up by 8 runs in 9th and will probably be in. They were talkinf on SEC telecast that 11 SEC teams could make it which is ridiculous.

Florida could be a .500 overall team with 19 losses in the SEC, 5 under .500. I don’t care what their RPI is, that’s not bid worthy.

If only this ends up being the bracket…ur gonna have to beat a quality opponent to advance. This would be a great draw on paper.
 
RPI now at #40. NOt a very comfortable place to be.
 
Frustrating day. First game our offense lets us down in many key situations, second game our pitching can’t hold a lead.
I really believe we are in tournament, but losing first 2 games makes me nervous for Monday’s selection show.
Below is the last chart update for season, we are all Green ( but just barely).

Let’s see what happens Monday. If we get in you never know how far we can go, even though I would be surprised (pleasantly) if we made some noise.

post season Criteria
(1) 32 - 23/ .582.... 33- 24 / .579
(2) 12 - 3 / .800….. 11 - 4 / .733
(3) 41.... < 49Team RPI
(4) 7th........ < 8 Conf RPI
(5) 1st ........ Top 2 Big East

Appreciate the effort all year Joe.
 
Have to hope Xavier wins the tournament now. If not, they get the second bid over UConn. What a terrible finish.
 
I’m guessing we’re out. But I’m not an expert on college baseball selection. Just responding to this team’s resume.

I believe they are in as well and I’m hoping the BE Tournament was merely seeding purposes regarding Uconn. We’ll know Mon.
