Palmetto Proving Grounds

at least mike zunino will be on jersey shore or the minors next year. Tired of seeing his ugly mug

not scared to be wrong, i think we actually still get a national seed.

I second this.

Maybe he will take up beach volleyball, or start entering mustache competitions.

Last year the Holes lost 4 of their 5 weekend series including going 1-2 in the ACC Tournament. Their Assoc AD Larry Gallo sat on the selection committee. IMO that was absolute highway robbery that a team with that poor a performance down the stretch in a weak conference should be awarded a national seed.

This season the tables have now turned. We are in the same position as the Holes were last year only we are in a lot tougher conference and with our AD on the selection committee. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander.

I think we are in but could use Oregon state and California winning another game

That could drop Oregon below us rpi wise

They will need one PAC 12 team to host but I don't see how two PAC 12 teams below us in rpi could jump us especially with Hyman on the committee

I'm guessing it works out for us. However, even if it doesn't, we have the kind of team that is very capable of either winning at anyone else's field or losing on ours. We just need to get hot again.

Maybe for the reasons Bosscock states we get one, but it's probably not deserved. Our record against the top RPI teams on our schedule is not very good, and I think that is what costs us ultimately.

Well if the other teams records against the top RPI teams is better them must not have a very good record against the lower rated teams.

I guess the question is does it hurt you more to lose to higher ranked teams or lower ranked teams.

My thoughts are there are not a lot of teams that are really that much better than the rest. There are a couple of locks. But even the ones consider locks have questions in my opinion. I guess it is going to come down to where each teams stands in the different areas they look at. Record against top RPI teams is part of the equation but it is just part.

I personally think right now it could go either way. But if we get one I would not say we didn't deserve it.

I think another key question is if we do not get national seed, who will we be matched up against? Certainly the first hope would be the opposite team loses and then it becomes irrelevant about a national seed because we would host anyway.
The scary thing to me would be if is they go 8-9 and match us up against Stanford, remember we had to do that once before...I know I saw a stat a few years ago (not sure if it's changed since) but no team from the east has ever gone cross country and won a Super.

The answer is yes... we will be the 8th seed.

There is no doubt it will come into play. And it is a concern.

But the other teams have some things going against them too.

We will just have to see. As I posted I have no idea which way it will go. It could go either way. I think Kentucky losing today helped us. If we could get Stanford to drop another I would feel better.
