Lots can happen in May, conference tourneys included, but it seems at this early stage like regional hosts are shaping up as:   4 SEC (USC, Arkansas, Florida + LSU or Ole Miss) 4 ACC (UVa, GT, FSU + Miami or maybe VT (Miami still has @GT and UVa to go. VT RPI is low but BIG road series wins @ FSU and @ GT. Tourney may decide this one.) ASU, UCLA, UT Coastal Carolina Big East (Can Louisville hold off UConn? Undefeated for April-wow) 2nd Texas (Can TCU hold off Rice with Oklahoma a dark horse?) Fullerton (unless they falter with weak schedule down stretch) Gotta think a 3rd Pac 10 team among Arizona (RPI=13), Stanford (21) or Oregon (29) will beat out a 5th SEC squad (Ole Miss=22) right now.   It can't possibly stay like that, can it? Of course not, it's baseball...Or can it? Aaron,

Yes I know they lost 2 games to MU this past weekend, but did you happen to see pictures and/or video of these games??? 1st of all their Fri night and Sat DH were cancelled due to close to flooding on the field. Sunday was a Must play no matter the weather conditions. The field was an absolute mess and it rained more on them during play Sunday. You actually could not watch much of the game b/c they couldn't keep the video camera lenses dry. I understand Mizzou played in the exact same conditions, but what was played last Sunday was not baseball. It looked more like water polo with the players trying to keep their heads above water. It's a shame KSU will suffer from that. IMO you critized Kansas St. a bit too much in this week's write-up.

I have followed college baseball actively since 99 but only started following the nuts and bolts of the game this year the dreaded RPI. Looking at Coastal's schedule they have played one weekend series against a top 35 RPI team and they lost the series at home to San Diego. I have a hard time giving a ton of credit for midweek wins since neither team pitches their aces. Isn't that what separates the top teams in the country from the rest usually the weekend rotations?
