Probly just not enough data for RPI to mean much yet. As the season goes along, it should mean more....or at least that's how I understand it.

I don't think RPI has much to tell us until atleast the mid-season mark when Q 1-4 starts to get ironed out.
Does anyone remember if RPI is continuously recalculated based on opponents current ranking or is it ranking when you played them? Pretty sure it's current ranking.
If you want a good RPI do not lose series at home. Obviously losing at home to a Q1 is better than a Q4 but the hit for a home loss is much worse than a road loss.

Means absolutely nothing. Does it mean absolutely nothing? Or just not very much yet. I am hoping the early trends hold up in the RPI. The Pac12 and SEC have been well above the pack in terms of conference ratings. If that holds, then it SHOULD mean more teams in the post season, and more host sites for the conference. The conference started out great (other than hole -who cares), but is now dropping off some. Really need ASU to get off the mat, and need Pac12 to continue to win mid-week games. Also, the west coast as a whole is having a better than average season so far in terms of wins and losses. Will that make any difference whatsoever in how the post season shapes up? Or will it just be the same routine of a ton of SEC and ACC, and then everyone else.Why would we expect anything different? |

One area of interest I'll be keeping an eye on in this series is SB's. We're tied at 18 with cougs so far. On the defensive side they've allowed 8 SB's to our 3. RCS% .333 wsu .500 Beavs.

Well, honestly, I don't expect anything different. The RPI has always been the "reason" that the SEC and ACC should flood the post season. No, I fully expect the RPI "math" to churn out exactly the same results we have seen for going on a couple decades now. After all, the SEC and ACC are once again beating up on every Sisters of the Poor team in their areas, all at home, and since the pond is simply deeper in their part of the country those 2 conferences will once again be on top of the RPI by the end of the season. However, IF by some miracle, the Pac12 can maintain it's current position in the rating (2nd), then it will be really interesting to watch the mental gymnastics that would justify the ACC having more teams and more host sites than the Pac12 in the tournament. |

All I know is, gotta win this series,cuz we go to the farm the following weekend. We also have two midweek games against Nevada before the furd series.....not that NV is great or anything, but it taxes Our pitching. Our schedule is about to get a lot tougher. That UNR game last year...the definition of "taxes our pitching" lol |

For us to win, we have to overcome strikeouts. Their pitching is averaging 10+ a game. Pair that with a potent offense and it can be trouble. If our batters are disciplined, as they have been so far, we'll cruise. I think this series will give us the first glimpse of how special this team really is....And I'm thinking it's going to be a special year. |

They're not used to our mild spring weather on this side of the mountains. Advantage us. |

The Utes have typically weighed down the Pac-12, since their addition. |

This is the first time I can remember they weren't in the 200's by this point in the season. Utah is currently 6-7, but they're #62 in the RPI. I think the west coast has done well in general and it is helping the whole region right now. The Utes went 1-3 with USF, lost 1 to Houston, and went 1-2 with UTSA (who is having a good season). Otherwise, they've won the rest of their OOC games against some decent competition. That's a big improvement from the usual handful of wins for them at this point. The bottom 3 teams right now for the conference are, USC (5-6-1) - 159 ASU (7-7) - 114 WSU (11-2) - 82 I can't remember anything like this in recent history, at this point in the season. |

It’s amusing to see former powerhouse programs ASU and USC down at the bottom of the conference. Still early in the season, though. |

In the realm of other things that I cannot remember, six Pac-12 games schedule and the only game that rains out is the game at Dedeaux? God bless that Hunga Tonga! In other news of note, Randy Johnson is scheduled to throw out the first pitch of tomorrow's doubleheader at Dedeaux. |
