Schedule game: we have 50 scheduled plus maybe an Elon makeup?
I’m seeing 37-13 when I go thru schedule trying to be realistic based on which series we should win 2/3 vs which ones we may lose 1-2.
Wild card games are the 2 vs LU, 2 vs Bama and these series: At Cal, Stanford, FSU. I’m calling 5-4 in those 9 plus 2-1 vs UVA
Won’t be easy and I’m sure I’ll be off but this is a best guess

Why do we only schedule 50 games? To make ncaa tourney we need approx. 40 wins & good RPI. We don’t play good enough competition to have a good RPI. There is always a chance of canceled games, why not schedule 56 to insure enough wins? We will never get to host regional unless our strength of schedule improves.

You don’t seem to have been paying attention over the past few years:
2021 SOS: 14
2022 SOS: 7
2023 SOS: 15
2024 SOS: 40
“We don’t play good enough competition…”
The numbers disagree, especially 2021-2023. You might want to read up on that.

1 vs Kentucky
3 vs Stanford,
3 vs FSU
3 at Louisville who looks good
3 vs UVA who just beat UCla, lost by 1 run to Mizzou, Auburn, A&M
That’s about 23 games vs NCAA teams
If we win 40 we will host
40-10 would be a host worthy record with that schedule
Have to win a bunch of those quality ones above though
