Plaino the announcer in the Auburn Bama game said something interesting about the top 10

[bullmarket]

She read the top 10 by the committee as of last Wednesday and she added that OU & Utah were very close to being on the list.

 

[Plainosooner]

Here's the list:

1. Florida (46-5)
2. Florida St. (48-3-1)
3. Arizona (47-5)
4. Washington (38-10)
5. Auburn (43-8)
6. Oregon (41-6)
7. Minnesota (48-3)
8. Tennessee (42-8)
9. Texas A&M (41-7)
10. UCLA (37-12)

The problem isn't making the top ten. It's making the top eight.UCLA is beating number 3 Arizona. UA isn't dropping out of the top eight. And we're not going to move up on UCLA despite having beat them badly, by run rule.

Oregon run ruled Florida State in the first game of a 3 game series. They're playing game two right now. No Score early.The three games are in Eugene. We're not passing FSU. Oregon will be further away, not closer.

We will most likely end up at Auburn or Oregon in the Supers. It will be a very tough task. Still some changes coming. But one reason they released a top ten is because those are the teams in contention for a top eight. Utah won't be in the top 12, I don't believe. They are playing at Oregon State this weekend, and are 0-2 and scored one run in 14 innings. Oregon State is 49 in the RPI, which is outside of the NCAA field most seasons. Beating Utah at least twice will help them a little, but the point is, it's been a bad weekend for the Utes. I'd guess we don't have to worry about LSU or Baylor any more

The way things are now, even if we are 11th, we'd have to pass UCLA and A&M and UTenn, and I doubt all three are possible.

Whats interesting is that the top 10 mentioned tonight do not match the RPI rankings.
For example UCLA is #5 in the RPI and is #10 in the new committee list tonight

And as said tonight OU & Utah are "knocking on the door" right behind the top 10
while in the RPI OU is #13 & Utah #17.

knocking and getting in are two separate issues my good friend

The RPI was based on play through last Sunday. The new top ten was based on play as of Wednesday night.

But again, RPI is their guideline, not the specific seeding. And OU isn't in the top ten in either, which is really all we care about, I think.

Softball teams, like Basketball teams, that get into the NCAA tournament have plenty opportunity to win it all if they're good enough. Unlike football that only gives 4 teams an opportunity to win a national championship via a tournament. If OU is in the softball tournament, they can win it. It doesn't matter what they are ranked. Just win and take another trophy home.
