Strange that the ELO formula thinks so highly of LSU, but they’re not even top 30 RPI.

Computer rankings can be quite funky in their results, sometimes its close to accurate (but what is accurate) and other times not..........

 

[fryeguy93]

Alabama and Auburn are big movers so far.
Alabama is #47 in RPI

In fact, here is the entire SEC

1. Tennessee
4. Georgia
7. Florida
17. Vanderbilt
24. Auburn
25. Missouri
29. Arkansas
31. LSU
47. Alabama
48. Mississippi
51. Texas A&M
72. Kentucky
60. South Carolina
91. Mississippi State

Baseball America has been added.
They seem to try their best not to rank SEC teams as they only have 5 ranked
Yet, they have 6 ACC teams. A conference with 1 national title in 66 years

The Notre Dame love continues . . . oh well . . . GO BIG ORANGE!

Got to give them credit. They're not rocketing them back in place after the embarrassment of them picking them #1 when no one else had them close then getting annihilated by a rather pedestrian Louisville team.

ND has taken advantage the last 2 weeks of two teams with big names (Fla State and Clemson) that are actually mediocre at best. Clemson is 2-9 in ACC.

ND has an ugly lose to Delaware . . . being swept by Louisville then sweeping Florida State and Clemson . . . Of course I am completely bias when it comes to ND, can't stand them. I ate crow last year on the wrong UT . . . hopefully I won't with ND this year!

I thought our RPI would be lower with the Iona and Rhode Island series.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Weird to see Vanderbilt unranked. I don’t believe they’re not one of the 25 best teams in America. I mean, I get them being unranked, but they’re one of the 25 best. Watch them come postseason.

The demolition of Georgia Southern helps. They’re 18 in RPI and have beaten some good teams this season.

I was looking at their schedule, they will play anybody, anywhere.

They always have. Never done the legwork to find out why but it's been that way for years. Maybe they are based out of that area?

That didn't take much work.

I definitely don’t get them being out and Ole Miss still being in. Vandy lost 2/3 on the road while Ole Miss was swept at home. And Vandy is a game ahead of Ole Miss in conference play.

Miami loses series to Florida, who gets swept by Georgia, who loses series to Georgia Tech, who loses series to UVA, who is swept by Miami.

College baseball got to love it.

Poor Iona almost had their first win this year. I was told they had five straight walks and blew it.

I know Perfect Game was the first to rank Tennessee as #1 but their rankings are bizarre. They spent all the energy on top=10 and then rolled dice for the last 15.

Collegiate Baseball has Vandy still at #11.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Collegiate Baseball has Vandy still at #11.

And the University of New Jersey at 22. They are a combined 0-1 in Q1 and Q2 games.

 

[MAD]

Rare company at the top.

Tennessee is one of only two Division I schools ever to have earned a No. 1 ranking in football, men's and women's basketball, softball and baseball.

Didn't pick up on that but it's crazy.

Coaches Poll. No surprises

I was thinking. At what point does a #1 ranked team have such an overwhelming record that a series loss would still keep them at #1 even if #2 has an undefeated week

We may find out in the next couple of weeks.

Aarron Fitt from today's D1 Chat.

"Heck, I think Tennessee could go 0-4 this week and still maybe be No. 1... though maybe not if Miami keeps its winning streak going and takes down Virginia Tech on the road this weekend. That Miami resumé is pretty darn good too. It would definitely be an interesting discussion, and it shows you how amazing Tennessee has been that it's even a possibility it would hang onto No. 1 after going 0-4. "
