Notes:
A lot will change over the next two weekends, especially between the 2/3 seeds.
Kansas can easily jump into the top 8 if they can continue their hot streak, which would bump Miss St to 9 and FSU to 10 in my prediction.
USC plays at Oregon the final weekend of the regular season. With a series win there, I believe they will host and Oregon State will likely be traveling there. Trojans currently sit at 10th in RPI, but 0-8 in Q1 games.
It would not surprise me if Virginia climbed in RPI over the final two weekends and grabbed a host spot. If that happens, Ole Miss will fall out if they drop the last two series. UVA plays. UVA finishes with Cal and Louisville while Ole Miss plays TAMU and Alabama.
In my prediction, I have the Big West as a single bid league. However, Cal Poly sits at the top of the standings. I have UCSB winning the conference tournament, but there is no telling how that goes.
Vanderbilt needs to win out against Louisville, SC, and Missouri. Sweeping SC and Mizzou would put them at 16 SEC wins, which I believe will make the tournament. With a RPI of 71, they will may need to win one in Hoover to make the tournament to be safe.
LSU is not yet eliminated. If the Tigers can manage to win 5 of their last 7 games against, they likely get in. The final two series will be against Georgia and Florida but never say never.
Clemson is also not dead yet. Tigers sit at 41 in RPI with a midweek @ Coastal, home series vs FSU, and @ Virginia Tech to finish out the season. I would be surprised to see them step up.
The bubble is weak this year. We still have two weekends of baseball left so we will see how it shakes out.
