We are #7 right now, and the teams we can catch are done with their season for the most part, or playing lesser teams than we are this weekend. Take two of three from Ruins, and we are a 3-4 seed - I don't want to be #1 seed, that is bad juju. I just regret that we will not win the Pac-12 unless something really wild happens this weekend. We can sweep UCLA at home, but not so sure that pups can sweep furd. UC Santa Barbara beat Portland 1-0 in the Pilots' season finale. Oregon State's RPI fell .0002, and Oregon State is down to eighth in RPI again. Who to root for tomorrow for Oregon State's RPI purposes: High Point, Campbell, Houston, Murray State, Arkansas State, Missouri, and USC. |

For instance now I can actually be on (mini) pins and needles as High Point (right now!) goes to the bottom of the 10th in a 5-5 tie. Go Panthers!! High Point WINS -walk off Sac Fly in the 11th !! |

Looking at teams around Oregon State in RPI, the Beavers are closer to #4 Texas Tech than #9 Ole Miss. #4 Texas Tech and #6 North Carolina would each fall below Oregon State with a loss. It does not appear that any team behind Oregon State can pass the Beavers today, absent help. |

I am certainly no expert but I have been reading extensively on the national college baseball boards. Except for a complete collapse this weekend the BEAVS are a shoe in for a regional and a super regional. I find the talk about rpi to be a complete waste of time. If we win 2 this weekend we play at home all the way to Omaha. Thats a very comforting thought. GO BEAVS!!!

In previous years, the committee has stuck closely to the final RPI numbers in the awarding of regional hosts and national seeds. My guess is that 85 percent of the hosts named fall within the RPI guidance. Any team falling outside the guidance will have to consider themselves fortunate for the committee to move them up. I generally agree that 2 of 3 gets us there, but I don't find any of it comforting, especially given what happened in 2016...or last Sunday. |

If we win 2 this weekend we play at home all the way to Omaha. Thats a very comforting thought. GO BEAVS!!! Oregon State was a complete shoe-in for an at large bid in 2016, too. That 2016 Committee only had one West Coast representative from San Francisco, who is still there. The second West Coast representative this year is from Fresno State. In all probability, if Oregon State wins the series against UCLA, absent a Washington sweep, the Beavers will get a national seed. I agree. The other factor this year is that the top 16 are seeded. So, there is a difference between getting a seven or eight seed and playing Auburn or Florida State in a Corvallis Super Regional and being a better seed and playing a Connecticut, East Carolina, or Minnesota in a Corvallis Super Regional. I believe that six of the eight National Seeds last year were given the seed that corresponded with their RPI ranking. The only two that were not given a seed based on RPI ranking were #6 TCU (RPI 7) and #7 Louisville (RPI 6), who swapped spots. Poo poo RPI all you want, but it tends to be an excellent predictor about whether Oregon State will wind up with a National Seed. |
