Too bad it couldn't be figured out. The post was right there with my response to it.

Your post is directly below one from Cat Mom and makes no sense as a response to that one. Also, since multiple people can be replying to a post at the same time, there is never a guarantee your post will end up under the post you are trying to reply to.

Even with the "clarification". I have no idea what you are talking about. Even if you had quoted the post you felt was incorrect, it's generally a good idea to explain what you feel is incorrect about it. Rather than just being that guy who says wrong.

I am incorrect...that's my default! Carry on!

Incredible. Some people just can't see what's right in front of their face.

Sunbelt #4 Conference Ranking in Baseball

Can you see the post now?

We aren't 4th right now. We are 6th. https://www.warrennolan.com/baseball/202...conference

But, we were 4th not that long ago. Just losing too many ooc games lately. As people can see from the link the next two above us are hanging on to that spot by a thread. The op could also be using some other metric.

I understand that people like looking at Warren Nolan, D1 Baseball and other sites that give them access to content they enjoy. That's fine, nothing wrong with that. But when you start using that content as a statement of fact, when it has no relevance to truth, then wrong information is being disseminated.

The Sun Belt has not been the 4th rated baseball conference this season. It was 7th last week, it is now 5th. The Warren Nolan rpi is not the formula used by the NCAA, they have their own. It doesn't matter if they are liked or not, they are the tools used by the selection committees in their deliberations for post season play, not Warren Nolan, not KenPom, not the polls. If people want to say Warren Nolan has the Sun Belt listed as the 4th rated baseball conference on their website, great, but it is not the 4th rated conference by the one that matters.

Half the teams on there are the exact rpi on the official NCAA site. The others are 1-2 off. I have a feeling that's simply because of update frequency not because they use a different formula. Since it almost perfectly matches.

Either way no basis in fact? Warren Nolan and other sites have zero basis in fact? Really?

Not sure why you are coming off so aggressive over this. But, sites dedicated to tracking how good teams are that are frequently used by analysts on that very basis have some basis in fact. Add to that the FACT that Warren Nolan seems to be using the exact same rpi formula that the NCAA rankings are using and I'm not sure why you are fussing so much over this.

Will be hard while playing in such a strong conference. We shall see.

It just takes the right coach and a commitment from the AD which it looks like you have given the new stadium. Look at how bad App was when we came into the league with our prior staff. Now we're able to compete and win every weekend. Marshall now has superior facilities to us and slightly better weather so no reason you can't build it up.

Don't get to see that sentiment very often in this conference...

You must be a lot of fun at parties.

Sun Belt now back to 5th overall in average conference rpi. I doubt the conference will be able to get it back to 4th overall, but even that is still possible with several more good weekdays ooc like this one.

Arkansas is #42. In front of: South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, etc. It's not something to brag about, but at least we're better read than several of you fellas.

On overall literacy, we're higher than all of the aforementioned states plus Georgia, Texas and Louisiana: https://wisevoter.com/state-rankings/lit...-by-state/

Yea well I can read at a 5th grade level

I suspect Arkansas is alot like Mississippi in the aspect that there are areas that bring down the state overall in things like this.

Hey, this isn't a realignment thread. No need to bring up academics.

It’s great that JMU can compete in a legit D1 baseball conference.

That is all.

Go SBC!

And we're back to 4th. I'm sure if tomorrow it's not we will be assured it never actually happened. And even if it did it's warrennolan anyway even if they use the exact same rating system as the ncaa uses.
