Wowsa. In the most popular rankings, the one used by the NCAA where they state their rankings are, "Courtesy of D1Baseball," Our Beloved Ducks have moved up to No. 5 in the nation. Ol' Beavis is No. 10, UCLA is No. 18, and a team that I predicted would eventually be ranked...USC, is now in the Top-25 at No. 25.

 

Oregon's RPI is No. 30 with Warren Nolan, and No. 24 with the NCAA rankings.

 

Baseball America has Oregon at No. 10, Oregon State at No. 15, and UCLA at No. 24.

 

USA TODAY has the Ducks at No. 10, OSU at No. 12, and UCLA at No. 14.

 

I will have a post later this week about what we need to do for a shot at the B1G Championship, but the ranking discussion above pertains to hosting a Regional, and possibly even a Super-Regional.  All three rankings have Oregon well into the top-16, which is needed to host an NCAA Baseball Playoff Regional, but if Oregon wins nearly all their games remaining, a Super is a shot...

 

Oregon plays on Tuesday and Wednesday vs. St. Marys, and the Bastard Huskies at PK Park, (this weekend) then a final series at Iowa. The final two weeks are going to have drama!

 

Stay together, and get it done Ducks!

 

From a Duck view, one thing is evident; the rankings people really respect Oregon State, thus Oregon's four-game-sweep of Beavis swayed the pollsters quite a bit. The OSU rankings dropped, but not as much as I thought a four-game-sweep would have, hence their respect for the program in Corvallis.

 

Considering our position presently...I'm thinking that if Oregon wins six of the final eight--winning the two B1G series, but dropping one game in each....I believe we have a Regional to show for it.  If we were to somehow sweep all eight games--we would have a real shot at a Super-Regional hosting.

 

Plausible?

 

Another homer for Mason Neville...

 

Think B1G or go home! In the last 7 games OBD swept the much respected Rodents from Corvallis, took 2 of 3 @ Michigan State. They lost one, to I hope is the best pitcher in the conference, and respect to him, it was wind- aided.  So now, Ducks, don't slip up against St Mary's, and get for the pups this weekend, a slap on the snout with a rolled up newspaper---or maybe a couple of homers, from the national leader...or the all-time career leader in Oregon...and don't forget Lurch on Sunday!

Yes, Uncle Fester...you LIKE my pitching

and LOVE OUR DUCKS!

 

So far, Beavis won the first 2 games in Hawaii, 11-4, 3-2. Hawaii won game 3, 5-0, game 4 is tonight.

 

An average of No. 7...the best ever? (Super-Regionals are the top-eight!)

 

 

The latest NCAA Playoff projections show Oregon as a Regional No. 2 Seed, and going to the Irvine Regional. Oregon State is a No. 2 Seed at the UCLA Regional...forget what their rankings are!

Two weeks remain in the regular season, and the past week of college baseball has dramatically shifted our Field of 64 projections.

 

 

This seeding by D1Baseball is encouraging, as Oregon is a No. 13 overall seed and hosting a Regional. Oregon State would be hosting as well, in addition to UCLA hosting. Iowa would make the field as a No. 3 Regional Seed...
