Reviewing today's chats, one interesting thing that stood out to me is that ASU apparently isn't even a lock to make the tournament.
From https://d1baseball.com/chats/d1baseball-...hat-may-6/:
Freddie: Every couple years it seems like the committee decides to make an example of a team with a poor non-conference Strength of Schedule. Are there any candidates to watch on the at large or hosting bubble that may regret their scheduling choices on Selection Monday?
Kendall Rogers: Freddie — The team to watch in that regard if they are on the bubble come Selection Monday could be Arizona State. Say the Sun Devils split their final two weekend series. The RPI would be around 45-50 with a good league record. However, ASU’s Non-Conference SOS is an abysmal 200. The committee might not have much mercy on them, but we’ll see. FSU’s non-conference SOS is awful as well.
