So what conference affiliation was going to give us a "much better schedule??" iirc, the Big 12 didn't want us as an affiliate (RPI 3). Neither did the big west (RPI 13). The two options were WCC (RPI 16), and MW (RPI 18) I'm pretty sure once the Big 12 wasn't an option, it was cobble together an indi schedule. As mentioned by me and others... Conference... you pick the weak west coast conference of choice... since we're playing a lot of each... gives you: - guaranteed conference home schedule. No worse than current, but with NC more games in Goss all season; - guaranteed auto berth by winning your perceived weak conference; - winning a conference means something vs random NC games. Think... committee sees OSU as nothing but facing prominently NC pitching staffs. - extra games in conference tourney vs sitting idle; - same pre-season invites and similar NC games. So pick the conference of your choice with the best top tier. OSU's schedule becomes better just by what it allows. I think it was WCC, or MW as choices though, wasn't it? I guess the powers that be didn't see a conf affiliation, and conf tourney, with either of those, as better than Indi. I think RPI wise, they were right. |

But, you're guaranteed... not to have extra games... no auto bid (most likely a top 16 seed being it's OSU as conference champ?!)... only 20 bad home games. And, no one will know how the committee treats OSU with this schedule. But, I'm positive it'll be their fault of its negative. I've explained my opinion in detail. Others will disagree. Just as they did when some here said building the "strong" 56-game schedule as an indy wasn't going to happen. |

The Beavers play eleven weekend series. All of their opponents will pitch their normal weekend (conference) starters. Plus three tournaments, two of which are highly regarded nationally.

The staff use during NC play isn't treated quite the same as most know. Yes, they will throw... some. Depending on condition/injury. Plus about half are weak programs. It will help the BA though. Next... "highly regarded nationally"? The teams or the site/setup? By you? Some website? Cuz... Minny, OkSt, Virginia... pretty good, but highly regarded? Sure. Auburn, Baylor, tOSU... not even close. Xavier x2, UNLV, Indiana? Nope! At least the very early preseason Top 25 has OSU playing 4 ranked teams (7 games)... Virginia, OkSt, Oregon, Indiana. |

Xavier is actually interesting if they keep their scheduling similar. They body bag themselves to a ton of high end ACC and SeC teams most years. Last year they had series with Clemson, LSU, and Indiana State. They also had mid weeks with TN, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. They have a series with ST Johns and Villanova every year too (they also body bag). That's a long way of saying they are usually a not great team with a decent RPI. |

Fresh baseball thread needed🥃 The way you talk in here you'd think the baseball program is dead Even those with modicum of intellect would never infer talking about the strength of the 2025 schedule equated to the "baseball program is dead". The daily news events must be horrifying for you?! And, even those folks may be able to track those posters that have stated such doom & gloom predictions due to realignment. FYI I've not been that poster... on recruiting on the downfall of the program. The baseball program will have its cyclical ups & downs like every college program. |

Well, your take on the baseball schedule has been over the top......we get it, you wanted conference affiliation. You seem to think you had a better plan than Barnes, and Canham......and now you are here to let everyone know how s%#tty you think it all is. How could they not listen to the great rgeorge? Honestly, it's tiresome |

Honestly, it's tiresome It's an message board. If you haven't noticed opinions are often repeated, defended, amended, and opposed. It's the basis for most posts! If you get tired so easily find a new hobby. Or skip, even block posts. Again there is a level of intellect involved when you join such a board. And, for FFS do you really think you can tell folks what, when, and how much they can post? 🤣 |
