My guess here is we’re 3 tomorrow behind the vols & beavers.

2 or 3
Lots of loses in front of us this past week. Except Tennessee.

4-11 ranking

in case it's not perfectly clear, what the above is saying is that practically EVERYONE has moved MIAMI up to NBR 2 (only behind Tennessee) in the new rankings! ex:

D1:

 

[BP Joe]

Canes have the third fewest losses in the country.

The second fewest team (ND) has played 7 fewer games, with only 1 fewer loss.

And on my point yesterday about parity, from D1 Baseball: Five teams fell out of the rankings this week: Vanderbilt, Florida State, NC State, North Carolina and TCU - all frequent CWS participants.

BA still has FSU ranked 19th

BA still has FSU ranked 19th

That’s just unbelievable. I truly don’t get it. As of this moment they are in full blown free fall mode. Midweek against Uf this week and then series against Louisville? Good luck noles…

Is it possible they don't make the tourney this year? I know they are in free-fall mode and overrated but still seems they are comfortably in. Believe their postseason streak is currently at 43 years and we are 44.

If scane didn’t say they were ranked I would have 100% said they are on the bubble with the way their schedule plays out to close year. But since they’re still in the top 25 after a 2 week record of 2-8 just shows how dumb the committee/voters can be. They have a tough slate to close the year just like we do, I’m interested to see how things play out on their end

The wild part is if you just look at DK’s betting odds for the championship this year, FSU is still sitting at +3000, Miami is +3500. I don’t know what would make you feel more confident about FSU’s return value.

12:07 Which team do you think would give Tennessee the biggest challenge in a three game series

Aaron Fitt
12:07 The way Miami is playing right now, I'd say the Hurricanes feel like the answer. They're one of the few teams out there that can almost match up with Tennessee on the mound, and the Miami offense has gotten so much better as the year has progressed. Feels like a pretty complete club, and red-hot. Would love to see a series between those two teams right now, while both are playing at such a high level.

Nice. "Hey, would you like to see #1 play #2? Yes I would."

It’s a pretty uninspiring tournament resume, but they still have BC and Clemson coming up

They are tied for 9th in the ACC with an RPI of 34. That doesn't get you in.

But like scane pointed out, they have some winnable series coming up.

 

[Memnon]

It’s gearing up to be a Mexican standoff between us & Tennessee in the CWS

 

[BP Joe]

BA still has FSU ranked 19th

What a joke. Unless they are under .500 by season's end, they are determined to have them match our streak this year.

 

[TheRichtShow]

It’s a pretty uninspiring tournament resume, but they still have BC and Clemson coming up

On the other hand, BC and Clemson still have FSU coming up

 

[BP Joe]

"Such a sweet kid" … it's FSU. They're probably a 2 seed w a 34 RPI.
