Rice won both reg season title and conference title, LSU didn't even make there conference tourney and they were 13-17 in conference play, if you can't make your own conference tourney then why should you make the NCAA tourney!!!

They swept Cal St Fullerton 3 games and beat Miss State 2 out of 3 to end regular season. The problem was the conference record. I'd be curious what the teams that got in at large would've done in SEC. I think LSU should've went before Miss St and about 5 other teams. The school that has led the country in attendance for like the last 10 years. Wow!

No way in the world St Johns is better than LSU! How did they get in over the tigers?

Also Rice got a national seed? I wasn't sure they would even host a regional!

Rice is good, 17 straight appearances, but no LSU is shocking.

They have a national seed resume, when you win your reg season title and tourney title and your rice your going to get that national seed, just how it is, I am with you on sec thing but LSU can't even make there conference tourney, they don't deserve a automatic bid, St. Johns went 18-8 in the conference and finished 2nd in the conference, and also they have one of the best pitchers in the nation!!!

How about A&M not getting a national seed and the reason given is because of the John Stilson injury. If the committee didn't think A&M was  a top 8 seed just have the guts to say so, but if they really lost a national seed because of an injury,well that is just wrong. You don't punish the team for someone getting injured!!

LSU has one of the best players in the nation in Mahtook sp?. They smoke everyone in attendance and travel well. I still say you take them before several of the SEC teams that went and a couple of others. Conference tourney isn't that big of a deal (It was for the selection committee), look at what UT did.

LSU lost 6 conf series this yr, and out of those 7 got swept 3 times, they had there chance but getting swept that many times and losing that many series tells me they are a inconsistent baseball team!!! I just feel the NCAA got this right here is a good article. Also in ncaa basketball if a teams best player is hurt or out it hurts the team seeding!!! so why not use it for baseball!! Everyone thought VCU this yr should have never got in ahead of V tech and look what VCU did in the tourney this yr, you can always say well this team wouldn't have did good in the SEC and blah blah but fact of the matter is you got 9th place in your conference and you were swept 3 times!!

You can say what you want to, but lSU got hosed this year. They lost series to Georgia, Bama, Vandy, and Arkansas. Thier ratings were crazy and they were ranked in the top 25. Give me a resume of the last five chosen that beats LSU and I might agree with you. LSU didn't have a good year, but I think they did enough to be one of the 64 teams. Even in a down year, LSU would beat half of this years field. If the committee is going to change thier mind on what they go by every year, how's teams suppose to schedule in the future. They said RPI wasn't the main factor this year, but in years past it was. It helps when a couple of the teams were represented with a member on the committee.

They aren't in the top 25 in baseball america,Kendall Rogers rankings on Perfect games,USA today poll,collegiate baseball poll either, so every poll has them out of the top 25, so your telling me these ratings are crazy!!!!!!!! Like I said don't get swept 3 times in conference series then LSU wouldn't be in the situation they are in, reason Miss st got in because they did what they needed to do and only got swept 1 time in conference play!!!

I'm glad you posted that site because it shows you that LSU was only two games out of first with only 1 or 2 more conference losses then first place. It also shows that LSU had the 22nd best RPI in the country, which is mainly what they went by for years until this year.We can just agree to disagree, but I still say if your down to 60 through 64th teams, LSU should've been one of those that was picked. Hopefully they come back strong next year!!!

No wonder you have so many smites!!! ::)

Well in my opinion you shouldn't make it in to the tourney if you couldn't even make your confrence tournament. That just shows that LSU couldn't win the games when they needed them most.  A lot of people get confused when they talk about the tourney, its not the best 64 teams that make it, its the "most deserving" teams that are selected. If they just wanted the best 64 then confrence championships wouldn't matter and they would just take the top 64 rpi teams.

If you can't make the conference tournament I agree you should not make the NCAA Tourney.  As far as A&M goes they went 0-2 against Rice and lost 2-of-3 to Texas. if they would have done better against Rice and Texas then maybe A&M would have gotten a national seed.  The aggies had their chances and could not get the wins they needed.

Very well put, and 100% correct IMO.

BTW on the UConn b-ball thing....  They made and won their conference tournament, while LSU's baseball team didnt.

Take the conference tourney out of it. Why have RPI and go off of that every year, but this one. I agree and understand LSU didn't make the tourney, we all know that. Your talking about the SEC, which is the best baseball conference, maybe second to the ACC this year. The overall resume, I feel puts them atleast between 60 and 64 in the tournament. Take the 32 automatic bids out of it. I think they were between 30 and 32 of the at-large bids good. Ya'lls reasoning means that you should take everything out of the equation except if a team makes thier conference tourney? I see both arguments, but I don't want to let go :D ;D It's LSU. Must be a bunch of Horn fans still crying from two years ago :D ;D Next year, LSU needs to have 27 road games against chumps and make the SEC tournament as one of the eight teams and they should qualify for the NCAA tournament.

LSU did  not win "big" games this year. If a team does not qualify for its own conference tournament, then it should not expect to be in a regional.
Sure, there are some automatic bid teams that should not be in (sub .500 records), but they did what they needed to do. LSU did not.

Sweeping Cal State is not relevant. What
did they do in the SEC?
It was a down year, a bump in the road so to speak. They have some good young guys coming in and will be back in contention next year.

    • Are you really gonna talk about decorum from a President while supporting the guy who effectively has no such decorum? Just last night the former president (and would-be despot) was in Arizona talking with Tucker Carlson and fantasized about Liz Cheney in front of a firing squad… after calling her dumb, of course.     Trump didn’t just “defecate all over the office of the President”…. He is a piece of excrement.  
    • I personally hope PN-G gets 2nd gets to the 2nd round wins the flip against SOC and drag them them to Houston to play 
    • I like option number two, PNG and Nederland both win. Nederland i’ll be the district champion, number 1 seed or whatever you want to call it. Yes I know that if two or three teams tie with the same record, they will be called co-champions and everyone gets a trophy. One team however will go in as the first place team in district and will play the fourth place team in the bi-district round. If PNG and Nederland both win, Nederland will be #1. I-N-D-I-A-N-S! - Scalp ‘em Indians, Scalp ‘em!  😎
    • Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
