2024 NCAA College Baseball Thread

Go Dirtbags
One of the coolest nicknames in all of sports
 
What's the time limit?
 
I was looking at LSU's schedule and was going to say that they have weak OOC, similar to ours. So I kept scrolling to see their conference schedule and it is brutal. To start, they are @ Miss St, then have #2 Fla, @#3 Arkansas, #6 Vandy, and @#9 Tenn in consecutive weeks.

Wouldn't most teams from the south have weak OOC as the majority of those games are against teams from up north?
 


CBN's Top 25. Agree with most of the list aside from Florida, would definitely have them above TCU. In a similar sense, I would put UNC ahead of State based on this weekend.

And D1 Baseball's Top 25:

D1Baseball Top 25: Indiana enters rankings, but little movement overall • D1Baseball

There was little movement in the D1Baseball Top 25 after most ranked teams took care of business in Week One, but one team joined the rankings: Indiana.

Still don't think State should be ranked that high, but I digress. Nice to see Indiana ranked after the weekend they had.

LSU is 4-0 but their games have been wacky. 11-8 win over VMI, 2-0 win over Central Arkansas. 27-5 win over VMI, and 4-3 over CA. Some really close games an a demolition.
 
In non-shitshow news UNCA and Tennessee are tied up in the Bot 7th and Campbell and ECU are neck and neck. 3-2 in the 5th, would be a nice win for Campbell and I'd argue would be enough to get them ranked
 
Vanderbilt currently melting down to Dayton, blew a 5-1 lead in the 8th.

Update: Meltdown continues, 8-5 Dayton now.

Update 2: Campbell upsets ECU! Rank the Camels!

That is life in the SEC! Home of the last 4 national champions (9 of 14 also) and six of the Top 10 in the rankings.
 
Wrapping up the notable midweeks, Mississippi St got swept by Austin Peay. Might be another tough year for the Bulldogs.

Some weekend series that I think would probably be worth the watch when we aren’t playing, in order of entertainment—

#11 ECU @ #15 UNC: Pretty self explanatory. Two ranked North Carolina baseball teams, what more could you want? Makes more sense to root for UNC to boost ACC OOC, but here’s to hoping ECU pounds Carolina.

#2 Arkansas @ #7 Oregon State: This would be my #1 option to watch for PAC-2 OOC After Dark. Both exciting and electric teams. I'd be rooting for Oregon State out of a hope that we keep our ranking, and out of spite towards the SEC.

#20 UCLA @ #5 TCU: Pretty stock matchup between two decent teams, albeit TCU should be able to handle UCLA.


Honorable Mentions to Illinois @ Coastal. Game 1 might be an interesting matchup if the guy that pitched against us starts, but maybe our offense is just ass.

And a bold prediction to wrap this all up? Campbell will be ranked on Monday and NC baseball will reign supreme

Miami at #3 University of Florida is a big series. Would help the ACC if the Canes could take it.

Actually, the Miami/UF series is next weekend (March 1-3)
