Georgia has not kept winning anyway. They have lost two series. They have beaten Miss State and Tenn. Having them ranked ahead of us at this point is a joke.

ok, if we win in Omaha and they still don't have us #1, then I'll take issue, until then, lets hope the players either don't pay attention or keep a chip on their shoulder.

Notice how he pats himself on the back by saying that they had Arkansas ranked in the preseason where others didn't. So shouldn't we move up in BA's polls as well. If we keep winning, BA can have us at #20 and we'll still host.

Rankings are stupid.
Championships are not.

Okay, I will get to the real heart of my beef with BA's poll, especially since they track it. It is the fact that almost every single team ahead of us has lost a weekend series this year. We have not.

Q: Dale from Fayetteville, AR asks: Hey Aaron, what are your thoughts on the Arizona State/Arkansas series on Tuesday and Wednesday? A:
Aaron Fitt: If Seth Blair can replicate last week's outing at home against Fullerton this week in a hostile environment, I think it will be a split. Otherwise I think Arkansas slugs its way to two wins.

This is idiocracy at its worst. It sounds like a lot of my papers I get from my remedial students.

Somebody on another board said we used to have a flag we brought out in basketball when we were ranked #1 that had a 1 and a Hog on it...I wonder if that's still around...

Wow. I can't believe we have a number 1 team. This is an awesome moment for me anyway. I am stoked! WPS.

I'm guessing the NCAA took it when they investigated Pate and Adebayo. The knew we wouldn't need it for a while. But going back to other track of this thread which is bashing polls, this is why I defended the BCS. All the talking heads complain "we can't let computers decide who should play for a championship." I say I trust computers a lot more than people. You can still program computers with bias (like how we laugh at Boyd's ISR's for being west coast heavy), but "people are idiots." Why would you trust people who think it is better to lose 2 conference series? As others have said, the tournament will be mostly seeded off RPI, and as I'm sure OHBG will attest, you have to win on the field anyway. Just do our job. Keep winning in the SEC. We can just laugh at all those stupid polls as we prove them wrong.

I thought about that earlier today...Surely we could find somewhere to fly that thing. Then again, it hasn't been used in so long it's probably in the same condition as the Shroud of Turin...
