I think the top 16 in the RPI would be the hosts ....

if the season ended right not. However, I think only the top 13 (through LSU) are cemented into hosting. Georgia, Okla State, and Texas A&M could be passed with A&M being the most vulnerable (they were upset yesterday and can't improve their standing). I was tempted to put Georgia into the cemented list but I held off. Georgia has OU and Okie State has a potential path of Utah, Ariz/ASU, then TT. I believe VT and Stanford have a 50/50 (maybe slightly better) chance by winning the ACCT but you might want to pull for Duke and FSU to keep winning because I believe VT will need to play and beat these highly ranked RPI teams to push them over the finish line.

Per D1 Softball Nitty Gritty RPI Report, VT will drop to 21 ....

The actual NCAA RPI report still has VT at #20, Ole Miss at #21

Ole Miss being ahead of VT is ridiculous. They have lost 23 games and have

There really aren’t any mediocre teams in the SEC in a national context.
nkhooch • 05/07/26 08:33 AM ET
If we were .500 in the SEC we’d be top 12
hokiepro • 05/07/26 09:23 AM ET
No offense taken. I don’t love the SEC. Why do you think that? I root
nkhooch • 05/07/26 10:13 AM ET
Ok fair but I’m just saying SEC has plenty of apologists
hokiepro • 05/07/26 10:24 AM ET
I am not an apologist for the SEC. I am just looking at the stats and

Because some of us don't believe it is overblown ....
hokietony • 05/07/26 09:27 AM ET
I disagree with that, the national narrative is that the SEC is dominant

Did you see Hokietony’s earlier comment? Kentucky was 1-23 in

When it comes to OOC schedules how hard do the SEC teams schedule?
Hokie_Forester • 05/07/26 10:28 AM ET
Interesting. You state something. I refute it with supporting info and now

Whether you believe the SEC is the best or not the original argument for me
Hokie_Forester • 05/07/26 11:30 AM ET
Yep, in Massey, SEC 9 of top 13, VT is 16 for reference.**
hokietony • 05/07/26 11:07 AM ET
Why look at Ole Miss as a parameter ....

Looking at Old Miss because the original post was about them having a

VT is 21st because of a very mediocre SOS.**

You mean not in the SEC?**
VTCALS72 • 05/07/26 08:20 AM ET
No, I don't.**

You’re sorta saying the same thing. SoS is FAR over valued in

Right, what you can control is losses to MSU, Charlotte and Liberty. And
