This was too good of a tweet not to share with everyone’s series results and the current standings. Selection day is 3 weeks from today. Since they did everything but RPIs and a bit of analysis I’ll throw some in.
NC State - RPI 36. They took a tumble with a midweek loss and a 2-game sweep at Miami, but the Sunday game getting canceled by rain could help them as Miami had a 2-run lead. (#2 seed)
FSU - RPI 6. Took 2 of 3 from Clemson. Will only play 27 games due to the shooting tragedy scrapping the UVA series. Very safe as a host. (#1 seed)
UNC - RPI 9. Never been at the top of the standings after a slow start, but quietly putting together winning weekends. Safe host. (# 1 seed)
GT - RPI 28. Productive week. The sweep of WCU didn’t help a lot but avoiding losing was the key there and results elsewhere did and the RPI jumped 8 spots. Win both the Louisville and Dukes series and hosting is still on the table. We’ll see. (#2 seed)
Miami - RPI 25. Hottest team in the league with 10 straight ACC wins. Work to do to host but they are trending in that direction. (#2 seed)
Clemson - RPI 7. Buried in the standings a bit after losing 5 of 6 but still easily a host with that RPI. GT did not host in 2008 though with a RPI of 9 and a 16-14 ACC record though, so if they trend down closer toward .500 they could miss out. (#1 seed)
Duke - RPI 39. Another team quietly taking care of their business. RPI currently prohibitive of being anything better than safely in as of now. (#2 seed)
Louisville - RPI 27. Omaha caliber offense, questionable pitching at times, we know how this goes. Can win or lose any series. Can still host with a hot finish (#2 seed)
Virginia - RPI 73. The cancellation of the FSU series hurt them. Even losing 2 of 3 would’ve boosted their RPI. Not even in the conversation until they get to around 50 in the RPI, but we saw Miami jump more than 30 spots in a week recently. Win their last 2 series and they should get there, but work to do. (OUT)
Wake Forest - RPI 26. Wake is similar to Louisville. Can win or lose any series. RPI is in range if they get hot, but the conference record isn’t close for now to be anything but a road team in regionals (#2 seed)
Notre Dame - RPI 50. Red hot team right now. Win their last series against Miami and they could sneak in. (OUT)
Virginia Tech - RPI 51. Ice cold team right now. Must win their last series against Virginia to remain in the conversation. Probably need to sweep it. (OUT)
Pitt, BC, Stanford, Cal - All will need the automatic bid to make it.
