We did take one from SC on the road in a tough environment. We need to win the next two series and the mid week games.
I'm not dismissing that we've lost our last 5 of 7. | |

| I think what's really interesting, based on Serrano's comments...We are better, and getting better faster than even he anticipated and that has raised his expectations for what the team can accomplish THIS season.
I don't know if the RPI is a reflection of that, but looking at the schedule, we could have a very respectable RPI at the end of the regular season...If we can win the ones we're s'posed to win. | |

| Austin Peay, Memphis and MTSU have RPI's above 100 +....auburn is at 63
Perfect Game has MSU ranked at 50 in their new poll, I think we have about the same overall record...has me wondering if we'd be ranked if we win the series? | |

| I asked Kendall Rogers, in a chat, about our chances against MSU this weekend. His response: Quote: |
An absolute must-win series for the Volunteers if they want to be a serious postseason contender at the end of the season. They played very well at times against Florida, but just couldn't seal the deal.
| He didn't really answer the question, but those are his thoughts. | |

AP has a very high winning % and its my understanding that RPI relies heavily on that. Posted via VolNation Mobile | |
