Hokies are 24 in DSR. Softball was 11.

Both committees claimed that DSR & KP would be a new metric for determining seeding and postseason for diamond sports. Well…softball committee straight up ignored it. Biggest beef I have with using RPI by committees is they talk about comparable RPI teams then compare SOS. WELL….that’s double dipping. SOS is already a part of the RPI math…WHY are you counting it twice??? Baseball rankings KPI 36 DSR 24 RPI 45 If we were named “Texas” or “Alabama” I know they’d “use DSR AND KPI”. We’re VT…Watch if we lose today they’ll leave us out and only cite RPI and/losing our last 2 games I find it pretty fascinating that both VT Diamond sports teams had significantly lower RPI than the new DSR rankings ** Edited by hokiepro at 5/20/2026, 11:16:17 AM ** Edited by hokiepro at 5/20/2026, 11:17:52 AM

I still believe the committees use whatever criteria they need to help ...
