The D3baseball.com SoS is based on in-region games only(which is what is used when handing out bids)... Boyd's is an overall rating... Someone correct me if 8 I am wrong.
Baseball is not a game that builds character, it is a game that reveals it.

In 2014 Regional Rankings will be based on ALL D3 games played not just in region. If I am wrong please correct me.
This... is a simple game. You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball.  "There are three types of baseball players: those who make things happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happened."

I believe you are correct... it will interesting to see how this plays out. There will surely be a team this year left out based on the 2013 criteris that would be in based on the 2014 criteria and vice-versa.

All I got to say to many teams is win your a Pool A Bid and you don't stay home. That just leaves the Pool B/Pool C teams that have to leave it up to the MAGIC formula and committee to get in.

The "magic formula" is play good teams whenever you can and win more of them than you lose, and do well in your league.

It was a lot worse 6-12 years ago, when getting a Pool C berth meant despite losing your league you were a national championship contender.

UTT takes game 1 from Centenary 7-4.

UTT splits the DH with Centenary (4-6 / 8-5) to win the series.

Interesting to compare the D3.com Top 25 versus the ABCA versus Boyd's ISR's for this week.  Things are starting to fall into place, although the ABCA and Boyd's are valuing the resumes of Cal Lutheran, George Fox and Pomona-Pitzer higher than D3 poll.

The strength of schedule numbers between Boyd's and D3.com are still very different from each other, even with a large majority of teams in the nation having played at least 12 - 15 games.  Who's got it correct?

Personally, I like the Boyd's World SOS, it seems to reward a more even mixture of teams across the country who have made the decision to play tough schedules.
Agree

Lot of losses this past week for Top 25. I would expect a new #1.

A new #1. Teams lose drop, teams win rise.

Trivia question:

Which team has beaten 4 top 25 teams this year(1,10,18, 22) in this week's poll BUT has a losing record.  ??? ??? ???

I assumed it was Chapman without even looking at their schedule. Kean's only loss to a losing team is to Chapman.

BigPoppa

I would have guessed Chapman as well. A true Jeckly and Hyde team this season.
