Vandy lost the series to Mizzou this weekend. RPI down to 74. They’re done. So if they were one of the 12 then you can mark that down to 11.
They weren't. They would have been #13. #11/#12 is Tennessee/Kentucky. Most have both of those in right now.

Given the current RPI, my guess is we will get either Kentucky or Tennessee, and also get either Jax State or Liberty, in our Regional. The good bews is that they will play each other first and likely use their aces to avoid dropping into the losers bracket.

Looking at Boston weather Th-Sa. A 1-1 weekend v BC is a path to ACC regular season champs even if UNC sweeps NC State.

Interesting that an 0-1 weekend v BC would also be enough clinch. Loss column is all that matters. Just have to finish with fewer losses than UNC.

BC has already cancelled their game against UMASS Lowell tomorrow. Apparently they scheduled more games than are allowed?

"To remain within the NCAA-mandated limit for regular-season competitions, the Boston College baseball program has announced the cancellation of its non-conference game against UMass Lowell, originally scheduled for Tuesday, May 12."

They weren’t aware of this in January? At least it’s a new excuse I can get behind it…

New d1b article touches on ACC Postseason awards:

Sounds like the consensus is that Davis will run away with the ACC PoY award. They did mention Drew being the preseason pick and us having 5 of the top 10 by WAR.
"It feels like Georgia Tech’s consolidation of stars makes it challenging to parse out a leading candidate, which shouldn’t discredit any of the seasons they’re having."

This one isn't as obvious. They mention that they wish the conference would bring back a Relief Pitcher of the Year award, as the Pitcher of the Year has never gone to a RP.
Glauber being 19th in IP hurts him in their opinion (though they like him for Freshman of the Year). Mendes and DeCaro seem to be the favorites, with Cal's Gavin Eddy as a wildcard. Blakely was listed as "others to keep an eye on." "Georgia Tech’s Jackson Blakely has been a revelation on Sunday’s for the Jackets, going 5-1 in nine ACC starts with a 3.18 ERA."

We have nobody in contention for Freshman of the Year, so I won't get into that.

Defensive PoY, they love Vahn. The only other person they even mentioned was NCST's Ty Head.

Is that a typo with Zuckerman's DRS number? If not...wow!!!

Lately every time Zuck steps in the box I feel like he is either going to take someone’s head off with a line drive or hit a HR. I know it’s crazy to say with the season he is having but these last 3 weeks he has gotten even better at recognizing the breaking ball early.
