FSU baseball game thread at Virginia: Thursday - 6 PM

With Easter this Sunday the Seminoles’ series with the Cavaliers was bumped up a day. Florida State travels to Charlottesville this weekend for the first series there since 2015. Similar to FSU, UVA is under performing this season and has a losing conference record after being swept at home last weekend against Miami.

Boyd’s World’s first RPI Needs Report came out this past week and while the Seminoles don’t have a realistic shot of hosting they can sneak in the field of 64 with a strong finish.

Florida State

Remaining: 12 home, 8 road, 0 neutral Current RPI: 64 ROWP: 0.511

Top 45:

9 home wins, 8 road wins

10 home wins, 7 road wins

11 home wins, 6 road wins

12 home wins, 5 road wins

Top 32:

12 home wins, 7 road wins

Top 16:

No way to reach the threshold.

Top 8:

No way to reach the threshold.

According to the predictions Florida State would have to win 17 of their remaining 20 games to finish between 32nd and 45th which would more than likely place them as a 3-seed in a regional. FSU could probably get away with 15 wins on the remainder of the season and still get in given their reputation and the strength of the conference they play in.
