Yeah, that is a fair criticism. That said, almost everyone in the Top 25 also have played 20-25 home games and we just had our 12th and when you look at most of their home versus road winning percentages, I see a pretty stark difference for many. We're one of the few that have double digit road wins, too.

As we learned in basketball, that means nothing.

Agreed - and at the time of scheduling - we had an impressive SOS, with Louisville and UConn, etc... That SHOULD account for something, given you don't know at the time of creating the schedule, who will finish in Top 25..
 
Just like with basketball they will find the 1 reason to rank a high-major and they will also find the 1 reason to not rank a mid-major.

But in this case it's just infuriating when you look at this seasons total body of work: 27-7, 5-5 Q1, 59 SOS, 36 non-con SOS, #8 RPI, 10-2 in #9 conference. 11-1 at home (keep in mind EVERYONE ranked around us has had 20+ home games).

But when you couple that with the fact that we hosted a regional and went 3-0 and then should have hosted the Supers; its just mindboggling that we still aren't getting respect. I mean if you want to either go farther back in 2019 we went 2-2 in regionals and 2021 we were 1-2. Had we not be placed in the Vandy regional (they won the national title in 2019 and runner-ups in 2021) we more than likely would have had another Super-Regional appearance.
 
I really never cared one way or the other if we were ranked during basketball season. And after what happened to the basketball team I hope we don’t get ranked in baseball 😕

Just keep winning.

Our strength of schedule should get a little boost from Murray State beating Ole Miss in 15 innings last night. Here are the highlights for anyone interested
 
Instead you have the 11point7 dude saying we're "hacking" the RPI and then Ole Miss fans wanting to take Hannahs.
