Looks like the Stony Brook at Maine series has been rendered totally meaningless. SB has clinched the AE regular season title with a sweep of UMBC. Even if Albany sweeps Hartford and SB loses all four to Maine the teams would end up with the same records. Im assuming that SB crushing Albany to take 3 of 4 gives the Seawolves the tie breaker. This years SB team is probably the best ever in the AE.

Its looking like another possible 40 win season for SBU. This time around they gotta finish the job and get into the NCAA. Nothing is a given in the AE tournament. Go Seawolves

The AE gets a rep on the 10-member NCAA Selection Committee. Current Binghamton administrator (and former Albany center-fielder) Ed Scott

An interesting Q&A with him here that touches on some of the topics discussed in this thread.

Stony Brook Sweeps Maine and ends the regular season with a record 43-11 season. Hoping for the best in the tournament. Lets go Seawolves

We surrender.........we surrender!

I predict that Stony Brook WOULD get an at-large berth this season.........but I don't think that they will even need to worry about that scenario.

Think about this folks..........a Northeast program with 80+ wins over 2 seasons. Amazing.

Redwyn

Gotta think the same about the at-large. We're at the cusp of being ranked in every single poll (Coaches, media, mid-major), and a review of the ARV shows that we're #1 in the Northeast (all teams, BCS or not) in every poll but one, where we're 2 votes behind St. John's. After that big sweep, it's likely that we'll be ranked in all of them next week.

Some fun facts about SBU baseball:
1) We have 3 batters who are hitting ABOVE .380 (Tissenbaum, Jankowski, Carmona). The latter two are hitting .390
2) Jankowski was just projected as a borderline MLB first round pick
3) Jankowski was also tagged as MVP of the Cape Cod League, the #1 summer league
3) Our only two series losses all season were to East Carolina (#24 pseudorpi), and Holy Cross (#134)
4) Stony Brook's pseudoRPI is 101. The next closest AEC team is Binghamton at 213


Though our season is just as likely to end as everyone else's in that damn tournament, haha

Patch

Red remember you just beat a tem that's 11-11 in the weal AE.

With that said I hope SBU is ranked at the top of the NE rankings ( great Baseball program).

Redwyn

This is very, very true. It would seriously depend on the fares of the teams ahead of them. I know we were one place off of last week's poll in two of the three...but you're absolutely correct.

ecasadoSBU

Would it help at all that Maine was an NCAA team last year and has had multiple trips to the NCAA. Does the poll voters take this into consideration or not?

I don't see a resume that is better than 35 non conference champs. (in other words the at large pool)
Not only did they lose the series you mentioned, but they did not win any games against those teams. Unless I missed it I also see no wins against top 100 teams with splits against the known teams form 100-200 like Kansas and Minnesota . I used the RPI on the NCAA site last updated 5/15 so it is possible it changed.

SaltySeawolf

Wow! Maybe a move is what SB needs. How pissy and pathetic some of you are. You dont have to blow out SB's candle to make yours burn brighter. Any and every chance to put SB down because your program isn't as good. Bob - your post is pathetic. Keep focusing on any negative you can find to justify why SB sucks in your mind. PATHETIC!

Redwyn

You have a right to state your case...but it sounds like your view is in the minority amongst people that matter

#30 in the country by National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (#1 team in Northeast, #2 team north of the Mason-Dixon line, under Purdue)

ARV in Coaches poll, ahead of such minor baseball powers as...Pepperdine, UNC-Wilmington, Tulane, and Vanderbilt.

#24 in Mid-Major poll, ahead of Stetson, Michigan St., and Army.

I don't know what to think - lots of disparate opinions...but I'll just settle and say that we're likely pretty good.

Urban Barrister

I think the problem here is that you guys have been blowing your own "candles" far too much, and while I'm sure it feels great to you, it doesn't do much for the rest of us.

SBU has had a great season thus far, but anything can happen in the playoffs.
