IUJoe Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Since there seemed to be some interest, I will post a computer-generated college baseball top 25 and Big 10 rankings, hopefully each Monday. As an alternative to the RPI, which it appears is still used for baseball, these rankings will be my version of a more predictive KenPom, NET, or Sagarin type ranking (my basketball rankings are very close to NET and KenPom). They take into account scores, but there is also a result-based metric as part of the calculation. There are no "pre-season ratings" included with these, it only includes results from this season, so keep that in mind that it is early in the season and there may be some strange results until more data is added as the season goes along. With that being said, here is the first top 25, through and including yesterday's games. 1 Virginia 2 LSU 3 South Carolina 4 Virginia Tech 5 Wake Forest 6 UCLA 7 NC State 8 Northeastern 9 Boston College 10 Mississippi 11 Washington St 12 Kentucky 13 Alabama 14 Wofford 15 UC Santa Barbara 16 Texas Tech 17 Florida 18 Duke 19 Louisville 20 Tennessee 21 East Carolina 22 Old Dominion 23 Texas A&M 24 Arizona 25 Oregon St Here are the national rankings for Big 10 teams (there are 305 Div. I teams): 29 Iowa 33 Nebraska 39 Rutgers 53 Illinois 54 Ohio St 60 Maryland 65 Purdue 100 Indiana 116 Michigan St 117 Penn St 185 Michigan 221 Minnesota 297 Northwestern The Big 10 ranks as the 7th best conference right now behind the SEC, ACC, PAC-12, Big 12, Big West, and Mountain West.

I've mentioned before.... unless you're going to move the start date of the season back 2-3 weeks... The B1G will continue to be a mid major in regards to baseball. I do think whoever wins the league should get to auto host a regional. Jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch A LOT of college baseball. It's incredibly obvious the unbalance/unfairness to the Northern teams. I know the summer ball teams would hate the later start time..but my goodness. I can't blame any kid headed to the SEC from the Midwest to play baseball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the WBC is tonight, and I know that teams almost never play Monday games in baseball... but... LSU/Texas on a night like tonight would be wonderful. Or.... Southern Miss/Ole Miss/MSST Make it an ESPN thing, you know? Texas AM/TTU tonight or something. Florida/Miami/FSU.... only way to grow the sport is to grow the sport.

Also would be nice if the Big Ten Network would televise more baseball (and softball) games.

By the way, I now have the Big 10 as the #5 conference. That is somewhat better than the other seasons I tested my system on. Hopefully they can keep it going!

btownqb Posted March 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Season hitting stats here... as of right now... Ellis, Whalen, and Jessee are hitting in our 7-9 spots. Awfully deep lineup. Serruto pulling his weight at the plate has been a big help, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUJoe Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Missed last week because I was on spring break with my family, but these are my national and Big 10 computer rankings through April 9 games. Again, the formula is very similar to the basketball NET rankings: 1 Virginia 2 Wake Forest 3 LSU 4 South Carolina 5 Kentucky 6 Vanderbilt 7 Florida 8 Duke 9 Stanford 10 Alabama 11 Tennessee 12 Arkansas 13 NC State 14 UCLA 15 Virginia Tech 16 Campbell 17 Connecticut 18 East Carolina 19 North Carolina 20 Louisville 21 Oregon 22 Old Dominion 23 Texas Tech 24 Texas 25 West Virginia Big 10: 32 Iowa 37 Nebraska 47 Rutgers 54 Indiana 64 Michigan St 65 Maryland 84 Ohio St 95 Illinois 106 Michigan 113 Penn St 121 Purdue 204 Minnesota 269 Northwestern Edited April 10, 2023 by IUJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Looking at the Top 25 and I see several teams with 10 losses, and TCU with 12! Is IU getting a "sniff" of the rankings??? Edited April 10, 2023 by Proud2BAHoosier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
