re: Friday Baseball Thread

4 isn’t all that uncommon. I could see 5 if things play out just right. If all 5 end up top 5 in RPI and lead the country in Q1 wins, how do you pick 4 teams ahead of them?

As it stands now, I think UGA is the odd man out. They had a handful of series vs the top tier and lost them all. Flip one of those and it might be a different story.

Arkansas, Tenn, Kentucky, A&M, and UGA all deserve national seeds.


But surely the SEC can't have 5 of the top 8 seeds, can they?

Seems like at least one of those deserving teams will have to miss out - either Ark, A&M, or UGA.

The only teams with national seed resumes are in the SEC and ACC. The SEC is higher in the RPI. The SEC will get 5 and the ACC will get 3.

The ACC team with the most Q1 wins is Clemson with 10. All 5 of the SEC teams in contention have 12 or more.

edit: Wake also has 10 but they are sub .500 vs Q1.
