Ahh. A nice 7 spot drop from #7 to #14 in the Baseball America poll. That's more like it.. :roll:

Wednesday will be one of our last two chances to beat a ranked opponent this year. If we go 0 fer against ranked opponents this year, you can kiss regional hosting chances good bye.

Is this :roll: supposed to signify 'excitement'?

We still have ASU left. If we can beat OSU and ASU I think we should host a regional.

We shouldn't sleep on that TCU sweep either as it is starting to look better, they are garnering votes in the Coach's Poll. I for one am going to be a big TCU fan the rest of the regular season.

Assuming we take care of the Valley, I'd say that would almost lock up a host if that happened. That's a big 'if' at this point though.

ORU is still on the schedule, and while they aren't a ranked team, they are very good and are in the Top 30 of the RPI.

Looks like these guys aren't punishing us as much as BA is.

My first comments on this topic may have been a tad harsh and over the top as I might be putting a little too much stock in the BA poll. I expected a decent drop, just not a 7-spotter.

Honestly though, the excuses about it just being '1 game' with the losses to Nebraska and others, etc. won't be valid if we can't get OSU. I know it's a tough game, but I'm tired of hearing the same stuff. We need a legitimate win sometime this year.

BA has consistently ranked us lower than the other polls. That said, the BA poll has the most credibility with me.

I got no problem with our ranking in this poll. Pretty fair for a team that has gone 0-4 against the Top 25 and has played one of the weakest schedules compared to the other Top 25 teams.
