March 31 Rankings

[UT97Vol]

Yep. Getting the bump on the opponents played, we catch Carolina ELO 49th/RPI 39th and they play the Barn ELO 26th/RPI 12th, better Ws.

Georgia is absolutely murdering the ball. Georgia will see better pitching this weekend, it will be interesting to see how well they do.

It’s weird to see Ga dominating like this in baseball. Is it fluke or sustainable. Guess we’ll find out.

Doubt it is a fluke. They are crushing that tater. SEC is nothing if not a churn.

I, too, enjoy it when commode-doors weep.

Must be a typo, didn’t see FL in the polls.

Don’t you worry, they will still be voted into the NCAAT after they finish 10-20 in the SEC.

How do some of these teams from non power 4 conferences with so many losses get ranked so high?

UC Irvine beat Nebraska, Texas Tech x2, USC, and lost closely to Vanderbilt, USC, and Texas Tech

Coastal Carolina has beaten Kansas State x2, run ruled Washington, Ohio State, NC State, and Clemson while also losing close to UNC in extras.

Troy beat that same Coastal team 2 out of 3, beat Mississippi State and lost closely to Auburn and Alabama

Dallas Baptist beat Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and played tough against LSU and TCU


These teams have more SEC wins combined and performed better in SEC games than any of Florida, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Texas A&M, or Missouri. They are fully deserving of being ranked and these are teams you do not want in your regional/super regional because they are fully capable of beating anyone 2 out of 3 times.

What a shame to see vandy ranked so low

Well they always have Women’s Bowling to fall back on

E6 Georgia 21-1 over Queens 5 dingers 4 doubles 17 hits

Midweek RPI Vols jump Georgia and move to #2. Guess the computer wasn't impressed with the Dawgs 21-1 W over Queens.

Georgia fans are talking a lot of smack about how much better they are than us

We wouldn’t see them until the SECT or CWS so if they are man enough to not choke like they did last year then we will see them then.

Like they say "talk is cheap". They should be thinking about Texas, then Arkansas, etc. , not the Vols. IF we meet it will be much further down the road.

UGA is seeing the ball well. Their starting pitching was the issue in early March. Havent really kept up with them since. To say they are better than us is a bit of a stretch. CTV and company has this program absolutely rolling. But this stuff will work itsself out over the next 2 months.

Bunch of SRs playing really well.

Thats what i was wondering. If it is just a senior led team.

Alford, Burnett, McCartney, Hunter, Zaborowski and Obee all SRs. Branch is a JR, Phelps SO. Without checking they're probably have the oldest starting lineup

It's only fair.

Playing Queen's hurt Tennessee's RPI and by playing UGA last, hurt UGA more than UT.

Georgia baseball is the Cicada of the sport.

No reason that program can't be a blue blood. Yet, they wander around in the wilderness for several years before having a good season.

However, let's keep in mind, they've really only played one solid team (Auburn) and even the Tigers are a bit suspect. High Point and ETSU are their only out-of-conference foes with a winning records and both those teams hung with them.

The baseball world will be able to decide between Texas and Georgia after this weekend.

and Samford becoming Q3 Ws for us instead of Q4 Ws

and Samford becoming Q3 Ws for us instead of Q4 Ws

They should bump everyone up one Q spot when they face us because they play like this is their World Series vs how they play against other teams.

Every coach in the SEC knows where Cobb is, I agree.
