Stanford drops two spots in RPI to #20. Still in good position to be in the conversation for a Top 16 seed. Though most of our
major competition for hosting (Ole Miss, Oklahoma State) both won home series against top teams; Kentucky did lose a mid-week to a weaker opponent, and dropped a road series at a middle-of-the-pack SEC team. We do have the H2H on another team we are competing with for a regional in Northwestern (#14 in RPI). They also apparently have facility concerns that may prevent their stadium from being a good regional host.
Oregon up to #39 in RPI, so if they somehow manage to finish with a >.500 record, they might just sneak in the tournament, on account of their Top 2 SOS. Finishing with a winning record, given they are five games below .500, will probably be a tall order though.
Oregon State down to #42 in RPI after yet another sweep loss, and ASU at #34. For the third week in a row, we are going to get a desperate opponent with regards to postseason consideration. Oregon State's offense has been the weakest in the Pac-12, but their pitching is better than Oregon's. It will be a tough test this week, on top of having to play on the road.
