[QUOTE="gtrower, post: 785619, member: 375"] Itll be interesting to see the affect of the ACC playing 12 series while the SEC only plays 10. I’d think the ACC will end up finishing on top of the RPI because of that (might have even without it). It’s interesting how the polls are shaping up though. Literally everybody is saying this is the deepest and most talented the ACC has ever been. And it shows in the OOC records and RPI. Meanwhile the SEC has some high profile OOC series losses (Ole Miss to UCF, UF to Miami, LSU to ORU, Auburn to BC. Has the ACC even lost an OOC series yet? I guess Clemson to USCe would count even though it was just 2. Yet we still have 8 SEC teams ranked including the Top 5 and only 6 ACC teams ranked with the highest being us at 7. Some people like to brush this off as meaningless early polling. But it’s not meaningless. It shapes perception of conference hierarchies. SEC is basically guaranteed to keep 8 or 9 teams in the polls all year now because of those Top 5 (they’ll all just be “beating up on each other”). And that’s gonna translate to 4+ national seeds, 6+ regional hosts, and ~11 bids. For no reason other than media thinks they’re supposed to be good despite their early season play. [/QUOTE]
