Wow, hard to justify OU over KSU

It's not hard, it's impossible. Unless you're a criminal outfit.

Well you see OU has OU on their uniforms. KSU doesn’t. That’s the difference

As another school that got robbed of a tournament invite by an overrated OU team I feel their pain

Everyone but Washington knows each other well. Will be a fun regional. Ultimately I think OSU’s talent and depth will be the difference.

K-state has a winning conference record....doesn't get in
OU finishes below .500 and finds a way in
Make it make sense smh

Only thing yuu can use is RPI. But there's too many other factors that lean heavy toward KSU.
Goons did have a much higher SOS.
RPI should be completely ignored when it comes between same conference opponents. They played 3 times head-to-head, KSU won all three. They played the exact same conference opponents and KSU finished with a better record and above .500. KSU made a deeper tourney run including beating the #1 seed. But nope. Give us the 1, 2, 3, 4, and...uhhhhhh...6 and 7 place finishers from the big 12.
BS

RPI is so flawed it's not even funny.....in year where the Big XII is down. Having a winning record in conference play should have some sort of a factor IMO. Like another poster said, head to head should also matter. Logo definitely won out IMO

KState had a terrible noncon schedule and Ou played tough opponents. (Committee has said this is a factor in the past). Midweeks are one thing, but look at KSu’s weekend schedule in noncon.
So even tho KSU is a better team, their RPI was 20ish spots worse and it’s their own fault. Play someone.

SEMO having a down year really hurt them....usually they make the tournament. They needed them to be good this year

And UCIrvine is normally a tourney team. So going there should have been solid, but playing west coast team means you know that you won’t get an RPI bump Bec rpi hates west coast.
They did play the Round Rock tourney but KSU got swept out.
BS. What exactly did 0u do in their tough noncon? Take 2 from Stanford? Ok congrats, that's nullified by a series loss to Cal Baptist and several other losses to non-toruney caliber teams. Playing "tougher" opponents means f÷×k all if you don't win those games. When you have head-to-head metrics, that should ALWAYS be the leading decision point. There is ZERO objective reason that 0u gets in ahead of KSU.

Big West baseball is never get the respect it deserves for the foreseeable future unless the RPI system changes. I get it, in Kansas weather is hit or miss so you want to play somewhere warm even though the series was in April. I think if they beat Iowa and Sam Houston, I agree it probably gets them in. They were close......

I think those 2 of 3 versus Stanford are what made the difference. Don't agree with it when they played head to head , but that was probably it.
