top 25 chat with D1 baseball regarding AAC teams

How do you see the AAC shaping out? Are there teams that are guaranteed a regional spot already (Uconn, USF, ECU)? Can Wichita really get into a regional being under .500 in the AAC?

Kendall Rogers:  Bob, I think we all at D1B still feel pretty good about the teams you mentioned being in the postseason, while I’d also throw UCF into that mix, though not a total slam dunk at this point. As for WSU, I don’t care what its RPI is, I don’t think the Shockers are getting in if they finish 3-4 games under .500 in the AAC. I’m fascinated to see how they finish the regular season. They certainly look the part in person.     How much did the sweep by Houston hurt ECU’s hosting chances?   Kendall Rogers:  Pirate — I still think ECU is in fine shape right now to host a regional. ECU has some very good front-line wins, including a series win over North Carolina, along with a good overall resume. But there’s no doubt that series sweep to UH hurt their resume. They’re likely out of a top eight for now and hosting isn’t as much of a slam dunk as it was a few days ago.     Can Houston get an at large bid? I think they can   Kendall Rogers:  Eric, I think Houston would still be in the tournament even without the auto bid as of today. Yes, I’d like to see the #Coogs improve that 50 RPI, but 11 wins vs. RPI Top 50 is loud and they obviously lead the American at the moment by a couple of games. UH controls its own destiny, IMO.

At the moment, houston should be in along with USF, ecu, and uconn.   They only way these guys don't get in is total melt down in the final couple of weeks or perhaps someone running the table in the conference tourney like ucf and the selection committee deeming we only deserve 4 slots.

[NewEnglandBull]

Yeah I think we only get 4 unless ucf does something

ucf has a shot.  RPI of 41 and I could see them making some noise in the aac tournament.

We play in a pretty good conference

We really do, in all sports.

I actually like this conference, I just hate the disparity in TV money. If we earned equal pay for equal work, we would soon be top 3 or 4 in almost every sport.

5 teams in the tourney is looking pretty realistic

Wichita State was a great addition for men's basketball and baseball. They also seem to be pretty good at softball too. Over 50% of the conference making the tournament would be amazing.
