On all the SEC Baseball rankings I'm seeing, including TexAgs, they have t.u. ranked above A&M even though our records are the same and we won the head-to-head series.

What's up with that?

Before anyone says it's alphabetical order, they have Auburn over Arkansas (both at 9-8) and Kentucky over Alabama (both at 8-8). In those cases it looks like they used non-conference records as the tie breaker. But they didn't use that for the Aggies/sip.

There's only one logical explanation: Stankey hates us.

Auburn has a better overall record as does Kentucky.

Yes, that's what I said.

We have the same league and overall record as sippie, yes? That being the case a simple way to sort them is alphabetically. It is not a slight, Stankey does not hate us.

OK, maybe check the calibration on your sarcasm meter.

Well, we hate him back but twice as much.

Vast burnt orange media conspiracy. Texags is obviously wrapped up in it.

Likely order of finish in the previous day's round. That's how it works in individual golf tournaments anyway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographic_order

I'll add that ASCII and superset Unicode are common lexical ordering methods. Strangely enough, at my first programming job they implemented a hash that caused some very odd ordering and I had to go to the vp of research and development to get permission to correct it. He has gotten used to me showing up and said, "if it's broken, fix it."

Tied order may be based on national ranking

Honestly, they be Coastal Carolina, swept a ranked OU, won the series against a ranked Auburn, and could sweep a good Alabama team. They've also won every series besides against us. I would say quality of wins is higher. Honestly, who cares if they're ranked higher, just keep winning.

Implementing hash causes lots of odd things.

I hope they don't move us. I want the chip on our shoulders.

Just win and rankings will take care of itself.

But he is right. We did score more points than t.u. in both matches, and should have been over them in the rankings, in the event of a deadlock in the federation ledger.

When you can tell me the proper order for the entire standings, applying the tie breakers all the way down and not just for our tie with the sips last week, then I'll listen to complaints about not applying the tie breaker in this case. Otherwise, it's just another case of selective outrage.

The things some people worry about.

Jeez, you didn't have to reply to me with that lecture. I was just providing comic relief for the angry, weary masses.
