That's a big drop for Alabama after their weekend series loss to LSU. #15 to 24.

That’s a big drop considering their RPI is ranked #9.

Big drops for Ole Miss & Georgia Tech as well

Ignore all the other nonsense.

You don't think these rankings will influence the final selection committee's rankings?

#7 in D1Baseball. They only have 4 SEC teams in the top 8 which is a joke but why id say we want to finish top 4 in the SEC to lock in a top 8 national seed

I think i said before the season that the diaspora of good, top quality SEC is so vast this year that 18 wins should get you a top 8 seed. I wouldnt be shocked if 17 ends up being possible

Arkansas at #7 is kinda wild

17-13 with a 25-1 non-conference record might have the RPI high enough to get a national seed. Georgia did it last year, was the 7th overall seed.
Two problems with only 17 SEC wins:
1 - 17 wins means LSU finishes the SEC slate 5-7 (or 5-8 including Saturday’s L).
2 - The Committee doesn’t want more than 4 SEC in the top 8, so LSU would be fighting Vandy, UGA, and Auburn for that 4th spot.
I don’t see LSU being left out with 18 SEC wins. With 18, LSU should be top 4 in SEC, and I think SEC gets 4 top 8 seeds.

This logic is fine before April, but now the rankings, though not exact, can be considered a rough proxy for how the pundits (including the committee) perceive you

for the sake of an ole man I have never understood baseball rankings in the NCAA!
