Baseball Rankings/RPI

BoydsWorld has us at #5 in terms of RPI. The Big 12 is actually the #2 RPI conference in the country. If Texas can keep on winning, a super regional is setting up nicely.

I'll update other polls once they are released later in the week. Right now I'm loving where Texas is sitting. The Big 12 RPI is actually better then I expected, so that's some good news.

Depends on the poll, a couple other Big 12 teams are on the verge of being ranked and some are even ranked. That's why I said I wasn't worried about the Big 12's RPI. There aren't many great teams in the Big 12 but there aren't really any bad teams in the big 12. The lack of top tier teams probably brings down the RPI but the lack of bottom tier teams probably brings up the RPI. I am a little surprised, but the Pac 12 and ACC are top heavy.

That's what makes our non-conference schedule/record so important. Big 12 is very pedestrian this year.
