[QUOTE="Techcaster572, post: 1008907, member: 6770"] Outstanding break down Gtbeak. I just feel the road inflation is weighted too heavily imo as I don't see road games as tough in baseball as it is in other sports so I think that should have less impact (Formula wise) than it's currently given credit for....With all that being said, I give Tech a ton of credit winning the uva series on the road. My point is that if you beat the # 10 team in the country, you should be given big time credit whether its on the road or at home. The uva crowd certainly isn't the most indimating. I've been to multiple road acc venues and fsu, with the animals (that's how they refer to their baseball fan base) is a bit loud but road games just aren't that intimidating. Biggest factor on the road is the home team hits last which i believe to be a huge luxury in an equally matched series. Heck uga usually draws twice as many fans as we do and that venue is not the least bit intimidating at foley field. I agree the computer doesn't give or take away credit for conference record however that plays pretty big with the committee so I don't know you'd incorporate that. I agree about playing better competition. That's the biggest reason Florida , who has struggled mightily lately, is still top 30 in RPI because of their early season scheduling. I didn't realize Youngston State was winless when we played them and by sweeping them four straight, it actually only hurt us vs helping us making them 0-14 I believe. The rule of winning baseball in the majors is take 2 of 3. Win 66% of your games in the majors and you are a 107 win team and likely win your division and are the # 1 seed. In college baseball, it's completely different. When you add in RPI to that, losing the one game we did on Sunday to Cornell was crushing even though we took 2 of 3 from them. There is little to no benefit to play the lesser ranked teams especially, as you mention, at home. Play them on the road or schedule better teams at home. Heck, try and get Tech into a tournament somewhere in the southeast. [/QUOTE]
