I think they would have to play their way into the 40s of the RPI to be considered. They would have a long way to go IMO. Clemson, with a better resume, is considered out. Pitt would have to get even with Clemson or close to that.
that would be very interesting if Iowa started out 2-0 and Illinois came out of the other bracket with 1 loss to face Iowa
Might be good if Iowa could level the score with Illinois.
Imo you would have to advance to the conference title. Michigan would be an interesting case as well.
I think Iowa would be considered solidly in the regionals if that G2 loss wouldn't have happened. Iowa would have finished in 2nd place by themselves.
In other games, Kentucky knocks off Auburn. Kentucky snags 30 RPI points and is up to #51 in RPI but still has a 12-18 record in the SEC.
Alabama is up 3-1 over Arkansas in T4. Alabama would likely be #41 RPI if they win; they are 12-17 in the SEC.
It's almost as if the ACC and SEC teams are collaborating to help maximize the number of bids from the conference.

Ole Miss is done and firmly on the bubble. Ole Miss replaces NCST in BAs last 4 in. Clemson lost and can't advance so they should be out. Penn is likely out after a really good season.
Alabama keeps winning. I don't think they're in yet but another win might just do it. Kentucky still has a lot of work to do. The Sun Belt switched to a single elimination format so there is a greater chance for a bid stealer there.

its looking like you guys can stop crunching numbers
I learned last week down 13-2 to not count these guys out until the 27th out ; )
Banks is a band box with the wind blowing out. This stadium is the grand canyon.
We have struggled every time we've played here offensively it seems, wonder what our best run output is over the history of playing here?
If Rutgers goes 0-2 are they on the bubble? That would mean they’d lose to Purdue and Iowa. He 1-3 vs Iowa and 3-7 vs the top five in the league. Not to mention the unreal amount of quad four games they have.
2014: 2,2,1 (1-2 record)
2015: Minneapolis
2016: 8, 5, 11, 7 (3-1 lost in title game)
2017: Bloomington, IN - Iowa won
2018: 1,0 (0-2)
2019: 4,1,0 (1-2)
2020: Season Cancelled
2021: No Tournament (would have qualified)
2022: 2, TBD
Couple of wins today will change that. Also rooting against Pitt, Alabama, Kentucky, ODU, etc
Did they update Indiana yet? I’m still showing them getting beat by Maryland.
If that win bumped Indiana into the top 100 then that sweep turns into Q2 wins.
Indiana has been updated they sit at 101. Hope they beat Rutgers as it makes those games Q2 wins.
Explain to me how Maryland is supposedly the 9th ranked team in the country......and Iowa is just as good as Maryland...........and they're a lock for the tourney and we may not even f***ing get in unless we make the BTCG?
RPI is trash, along with East Coast and Southern bias. Just sayin.......Come on now college baseball and NCAA. Do better.
Most likely it knocks someone else out. Iowa wasn't getting in regardless. RPI of 60 is too low.
Lets put a bow on this with some results from the regionals this weekend.
Last 4: combined 2-6
Florida State 0-2
Grand Canyon 0-2
Liberty 0-2
Ole Miss 2-0
Other bubble teams: 3-5 (2 wins vs 4 seeds)
Dallas Baptist 0-2
Georgia Tech 2-2
Wake Forest 1-2
Big Ten: 5-2
Iowa faced 5 tourney teams and went 7-5 against those teams during the season. Those teams have gone 10-7 in regionals.
I think it is safe to say the committee got it wrong, the B1G was undervalued, and Iowa should have been in the field. The ASUN (15) and WAC (19) had no business being multi-bid leagues. DBU barely finished .500 in the 9th best conference. The ACC is not as strong as it was perceived going in to the tourney.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist or ‘it’s rigged’ guy but those two calls against Michigan and Maryland Monday were brutal.
