Did a quick check for the VT teams with best final win % ...

Year W-L Final Rank Ranking Org 1982 50-9 9th Baseball America unrank Collegiate Baseball 1981 48-9 20th Baseball America 29th Collegiate Baseball 1969 27-7 12th Collegiate Baseball 1977 34-9 unrank Collegiate Baseball 1976 33-9 19th Collegiate Baseball 2022 45-14 11th D1 1985 50-16 24th Baseball America unrank Collegiate Baseball Don't have time to go back and check them all, but this was definitely one of the highest final rankings in 130 years of VT baseball. I believe there was a preseason poll for 1982 that had VT at #3. Winningest percentage teams in school history were 1981 and 1982, but both did not get to go to regionals because of Metro conference competition and rules for the 1 school that got to go from the conference. Real heart breaker seasons.

Looks like how the teams advanced NCAA. Not sure that is the way to do it.
