The belt is tightening!

From D1 Baseball:

That leaves us with three teams in the mix for one national seed: Kentucky, Stanford and Southern Mississippi. You could also throw Virginia and Wake Forest in the mix, but those two should be considered long shots until they make some noise in the ACC tournament. Kentucky still has a very solid RPI of 7, but is three games under .500 against RPI Top 25, followed by an impressive 18-13 mark vs. RPI Top 50. Stanford has an RPI of 11 with an impressive 7-4 mark vs. RPI Top 25 and an 8-6 mark vs. RPI Top 50. The Cardinal also has a stellar mark against RPI Top 100 at 27-13. There’s also the Golden Eagles. While USM has no wins vs. RPI Top 25 teams, it was incredibly consistent and dominated a very solid conference. USM also has an 8-4 mark vs. RPI Top 50, a 22-10 mark vs. RPI Top 100 and an RPI of 10. Clearly, the race between these three teams for one spot is tight, and will be determined by next week’s conference tournament action and Stanford’s final series on the road against Washington State (105).

There you have it. Win the tourney, and hope Stanford/Kentucky do terrible. I like our chances.

You do know that story is about a national seed, right?

Hard to see them not awarding Stanford the national seed. Logistically it gives only 2 west coast teams the possibility of hosting a super regional if Stanford is awarded the spot.........plus its impossible to believe that So Miss could ever have an advantage in anything with Stanford......generally speaking..............

Try and beat those buddy!!!!!!!!

Stanford still has a series with Washington State who's RPI is 103. Maybe they'll drop one and make it easier.

If it came down to us and Stanford, I wonder if it would come down to facilities?

Stanford has a nice field but it holds roughly 2000 less than ours.
