Posted April 21Apr 21 Administrator This week's D1Baseball rankings came out, and the Ducks moved from No. 16 up to No. 13 after winning a series at home against then No. 10, UCLA. The ominous part of the rankings is how Oregon State has moved up to No. 3 in the nation, and Oregon plays four games with them starting on Friday. (Three at PK Park, and one in Corvallis) That is great for the RPI, but damn...we gotta get two games off them! We have a shot at hosting a Regional, but we need to win most of our remaining games and split with Beavis. All the other ranked B1G teams are UCLA at No. 15,....and that's it! Too late Beavis!

April 21Apr 21 Author Administrator The conference standings are as follows, and Iowa plays Indiana, and Washington before Oregon plays at Iowa for the final B1G season series. We have our chances! And four of the top five are former Pac-12 teams... Mr. FishDuck

The one time of year when Rodent Nation can actually stand tall, would be great to knock them off a couple times.
April 21Apr 21 Iowa may be 17-4, but they are also 27-11, and have not played any of the four teams directly below them in the Big Ten standings. So, their 17-4 is suspect by folks who participate in the rankings. The Hawkeyes are probably better than if 5th, but should they be No. 1 in the Big?

It is a scheduling thing...as on another site they reported that prior to playing Michigan this last weekend...the teams Iowa had played had a B1G winning percentage of .375 in conference. Michigan stands at .444 right now, although the Wolverines took a game from us, while Iowa swept them. Your point is quite accurate; the Hawkeyes have not played the best in the conference yet. As stated before--Iowa plays Indiana, No. 6, and Washington, No. 5, and Oregon No. 3 in the conference before the end of the season. We have a chance to catch them... We're going to be SAFE, Beavis!
