Don't worry about rankings. JUST WIN DAMMIT!!!!! JWD!!!!!!!!!!
why did aggie kendall have 100x more interaction on orangebloods than aggieyell back in the day?
im sure thats coincidence
im sure thats coincidence
They started ranked ahead of us and had a better February than we did
I think we need 7-8 more wins and we will be top 8 and home for regionals and supers

You'd think beating them twice head-to-head and having a better record would put us ahead. This is what I meant in a previous thread about completely unmerited advantages always accruing to the sips, seemingly across most sports.
Don't care. Keep winning.

I agree, but it's still annoying as hell all the favoritism they get, across the board.
I don’t get enough credit for the things I manage not to say.

Pretty much this.
sippie started high, has generally played well (except for a couple of head scratching midweek Ls) and their only series loss is to A&M. In other words, they've not had a poor enough week to drop them much in the polls.
The Aggies on the other hand were #25 in D1 Baseball poll, to the surprise many, and while starting the season well as far as compiling Ws did so in such manner in which only small incremental moves up seemed warranted. Then A&M had a very rough start in SEC play (1-4), a poor enough start that many on TexAgs were demanding that Earley be axed, yet still hung on in the rankings and have been rewarded rather well for going 13-2 in league play since.
^^^^ All this right here. It's no mystery to me, at all.
And concur with everyone else. Just f'ing win from here on out. This stretch is where we make our money.

This
But also …..
Isn't sip SOS higher than ours ??
What I find interesting is that people see rankings and complain why they arent reflective of a current eye test like power rankings.
Then when people see power rankings they complain that a lower ranked team is higher than a team with a better record or even lost to head to head weeks ago.
Rankings are really about the entire corpus of work so far. One team being "28-5" then being "30-7" doesnt usually necessitate a drop. A 2-2 week doesnt erase the first 33 games.
Power rankings on the other hand ask two questions simulateously: how good is the team and how are they playing? The "28-5" is good, but losing 2-2 that week shows they are mortal and if the team behind them go 3-1 or 4-0 there is a solid case that one team is playing lights out and the other team is sleepwalking a bit.
Its all very subjective and gets eventually gets shook out by the end of the regular season anyway. And you can see teams that are .600 in conference play somehow catchfire in May and end up in Omaha or eventually raising the trophy. This is why we have a 64 team post-season, instead of just sending the Top 8 to Omaha for a championship bracket like college football now.

the #1 reason is the old started-the-season-ranked-ahead thing
why is North Carolina ahead of A&M? same reason

It will always be this way until the Aggies get some skins on the wall. There are bonus points that go with national championships.

We're 14-6 in conference. 7-8 wins would put us at 20 or 21 in conference (assuming a win against PV, if it is played). That's top 4, maybe top 2. I don't see us getting ahead of UCLA.
We are #4 in RPI right now. We finish at home against the current #5 (Auburn), on the road at the current #12 (Ole Miss), and at home against #14 (State).
5 more conference wins gets us to 19 in conference. That's a fairly certain top 8 seed.
4 more conference wins gets us to 18 in conference, That is still a likely top 8 seed.
I think it would take a 3-6 conference finish to take us out of the top 8, but we would still host a regional.
LSU guy knows why, he's just making fun of it
Gig ‘Em Baby!
The sips always get spotted 5-10 ranks higher than they deserve in every sport they are in. This has always been the case.
I was including mid week games
2-0 in midweek and 5-4 in conference get you to 7
2-0 in midweek and 5-4 in conference get you to 7
Makes no sense, the Longhorns may not host a regional if they continue the downslope they are on and even if they do, will not win it. Same as last year which was a train wreck.
Poor fans are expecting so much from their low end coach.

sippie is on a down slope? If they remain on this current "downslope" they'll not only host they'll be a top 8 seed.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Headline April 10th....
"Aggies take Round 1 from Horns, but post-game SOS creates an edge to over rule a winning effort"
Headline April 11th
"Aggies spank Horns in Round 2, but regardless that pesky post-game SOS delivers a haymaker to the Farmers"
Yeah,....said no headline anywhere.
So, do you suit up or play XBox?
If a stat can edge a team out of true rankings....explain how Jimbo got railroaded to #5 and left out of the playoffs versus the 4 teams ranked above?
It's all BS boys..
Just gotta win to expose the turds.

Well he just straight up said a few days ago on Texags radio that they're a better team than us. So there's that.
Well delconte is probably setting at a cemetery just down from Kendall's house… just a waiting…
