Then Kendall deleted said tweet about their midwest coverage.This prompted Husker fans to tweet at Kendall Rogers, who defended their B1G coverage by saying they have 2 Midwest writers. I looked thru their Midwest writers tweets. Lots of Maryland and OSU tweets, no mention of Nebraska in the last month (who is 13-2 in their last 15 and leading the B1G). Not much mention of Michigan either. If you’re covering the Midwest/B1G and not mentioning Nebraska or Michigan.....you’re probably doing it wrong.
It sucks the Huskers aren't getting recognized in the media for their season.
My question is, (because I don't follow it enough to know) how does this affect our post season if we keep playing great baseball and winning the vast majority of our games but don't climb much in the RPI or get recognized in the rankings?
That's really what matters.
Only reason Ohio State's RPI is high, is because of they've played Michigan. For some reason Michigan has a high RPI.Doesn't exactly inspire my confidence in the RPI...
RPI will be considered but not weighted like it was in past seasons. Hard to take it seriously when Fairfield is the number 1 RPI team but would get ran off a field by Arkansas. Truth is Fairfield is maybe a 2 seed but probably a 3. NCAA committee will have a lot of liberty with how they seed.It sucks the Huskers aren't getting recognized in the media for their season.

Arkansas is pretty close geographically and NCAA likes the storylines (like DVH vs his Clone). Kinda feels like if we're a 2 or 3 we will be slotted in Fayetteville. The only way out of that would be ending the season like 34-10 and getting a 1 seed. Arkansas and Vandy are the two regionals you want to avoid - both seem like locks for Omaha.https://d1baseball.com/postseason/projected-field-of-64-april-20/
Nebraska still projected as a 2-seed in the #1 overall seed Arkansas regional
Yep, TBF if Nebraska & Michigan keep winning, the series at the end of the year might determine a regional host.Arkansas is pretty close geographically and NCAA likes the storylines (like DVH vs his Clone).

So, we aren't getting respect from anyone but the selection committee. Well, if I have to pick one, that would be it.https://d1baseball.com/postseason/projected-field-of-64-april-20/
