    College Baseball Weekend #13 Recap + Georgia Wins SEC Title, FOG GATE, and UCLA-Oregon Fireworks

    The 11.7 podcast recaps weekend 13 of college baseball, featuring Ben, Dimitri. The trio highlights the Missouri vs Vanderbilt weather-delayed chaos dubbed “Fog Gate,” where heavy fog led to confusion over a ball’s landing, a debated ground-rule double or home run, and Missouri ultimately winning in extras and taking the series. The group discusses conference races and implications heading into the final weekend, regional hosting and at-large bubbles, and frustration with SEC “win-threshold” discourse for sub-.500 conference teams, using examples like Vanderbilt and LSU scheduling and selection trends. The guys also break down Arizona State vs Oklahoma State’s wild late-inning games and hosting implications in the Big 12, West Virginia’s sweep at Kansas, and an intense UCLA vs Oregon series filled with on-field confrontations and dramatic moments. Additional notes include Rice reaching 30 wins, Gonzaga clinching the WCC with a no-hitter, Tague Davis’ ACC home run record, Georgia clinching the SEC title, ACC bubble setbacks, and final-weekend series picks. 00:00 Intro 02:13 Fog Gate (Missouri vs Vanderbilt) 10:49 SEC Bubble Debate 15:15 Conference Fandom Rant 20:38 Bubble History Receipts 28:43 Quad System Rant 35:54 Weekend Series Talk 36:12 Oklahoma State vs ASU Recap 41:49 Big 12 Race Update 47:25 Big 12 Race Math 48:19 UCLA vs Oregon Series Recap 54:21 Ducks/Bruins Benches Clearing 55:54 Dean West Legacy Game 57:43 Oregon’s Postseason Outlook 59:55 USC vs Oregon Hosting Stakes 01:03:08 Shoutouts Gonzaga and Tague Davis 01:06:36 Golden Spikes Finalists Talk 01:07:37 Conference Champs Roundup 01:08:27 Georgia’s Seed and RPI Debate 01:12:03 Georgia's Flowers & DVH's Coaching Tree 01:15:12 SEC Weekend Winners 01:17:42 Revisiting Preseason Picks 01:28:56 ACC Bubble Disaster 01:30:55 Rising Teams in the American 01:35:22 Nebraska and La Tech 01:37:37 Big West Tournament Projection 01:39:24 NCAA Tournament Bracketology Projection 01:42:58 Other Mid Major Talk 01:48:19 Live Weekend Series Pick 'Em

    College Baseball Weekend 13 Preview + ABS in SEC + DSR/KPI/RPI MiniGame

    The 11.7 podcast crew (Ben, Jack, Dimitri, and Noah) previews the weekend and recaps midweek action while promoting Dimitri’s 20-minute interview with NCAA Baseball Rules Committee Chair and Xavier head coach Billy O’Conner about introducing the ABS challenge system at the SEC tournament. They debate ABS impacts, challenge strategy, Trackman accuracy, and how tech affects umpiring and “content,” plus discuss other rules topics from the interview like the runner’s lane rule and why enlarging bases is costly for turf fields. The group talks about the Patriot League Baseball Tournament encourages donations to a GoFundMe for Bucknell coach Scott Heather, and reviews RPI cancellation “bingo.” Noah hosts a metrics mini-game comparing RPI, KPI, and DSR for bubble teams (including Clemson, LSU, Vanderbilt, Mercer, Purdue, TCU, and others), leading into DSR discussion and a plug for Jack’s upcoming podcast with 643’s Forrest Allen. 00:00 Show kickoff and agenda 00:45 Promoting Billy OConner interview 03:05 Botched intro and cold open jokes 07:02 ABS debate and big picture impact 14:29 ABS satire and challenge chaos 16:29 Trackman accuracy and logistics 18:23 Rules talk runner lane and bases 21:13 Omaha plans and side challenges 23:02 Weekend pick em setup and records 27:45 Patriot League tourney and Bucknell 29:38 GoFundMe support and donations 31:08 Rapid fire series picks begin 32:54 Big 12 and SEC Picks 34:39 Demetri Signs Off 36:25 SoCon Showdown Preview 39:42 Sun Belt Clash Styles 41:47 Pokes vs Sun Devils 44:35 Mountaineers at Jayhawks 47:50 Aggies at Swayze 52:41 OVC Deep Cut Pick 56:38 Wild Names and No Hitters 58:13 Tiger Talk Bubble Debate 01:01:55 Clemson Purify Impact 01:04:19 RPI Rant and Fairness 01:12:13 Bracket Complaints Banter 01:12:47 RPI Bingo Card Explained 01:16:22 Best RPI Cancellations 01:19:56 Bubble Metrics Mini Game 01:22:59 Team By Team Outliers 01:30:09 DSR And Pythag Deep Dive 01:36:33 Final Round LSU Clemson 01:47:01 Upset Picks And Wrap Up

    Should College Baseball Change The NCAA Tournament Format? & RPI Bingo - Weekend 12 Preview

    The 11.7 podcast crew (Jack, Noah, Dimitri, and Ben) opens with no plan, plugs Homefield Apparel, and dives into “RPI season,” joking about teams canceling midweek games to protect their resumes while tracking an RPI Bingo card (including canceled games like UNC–Queens and Oklahoma–Texas Tech). They recap midweek results and moments such as Coastal Carolina throttling UNC, UCLA beating UC Santa Barbara, UC Irvine upsetting USC, Texas winning on a walk-off two-run homer, Oregon ending Gonzaga’s 14-game streak with a nine-pitcher bullpen game, and Nebraska walking off Kansas State. The group riffs on social media delusion, broadcast quality issues in Ole Miss–Mississippi State at Pearl, and debates potential NCAA baseball tournament changes, strongly opposing expansion or altering the current format. They finish with Weekend Series Pick ’Em selections, highlight disagreements like South Carolina at LSU, and set an Uber Eats bet on that series. 00:00 Cold Open Chaos 00:24 Sponsor Shoutouts 01:35 RPI Bingo Season 05:51 Open Dates Banter 09:17 Calling The Bingo Shot 10:42 Midweek Recap 14:16 Fanbases And Rivalries 23:54 Kentucky Stock Pile On 32:16 Dont Touch The Tourney 33:31 32 Hosts Pros And Cons 43:20 Reseeding And TV Matchups 47:32 Rivalry Omaha Dream 49:53 Super Regional Seeding Talk 50:16 Banter and Bullying 51:54 Nerd vs Dork Debate 53:11 Weekend Pick Em Setup 54:41 Standings and Uber Eats Bet 57:47 LSU Stock Hot Take 01:00:26 Creighton vs St Johns Picks 01:02:53 TCU vs Oklahoma State Picks 01:06:54 Southland Showdown Lamar vs SELA 01:10:47 OVC Rule Never Fade SEMO 01:13:21 South Carolina vs LSU Chaos 01:27:34 UCF vs Arizona State Finale 01:30:58 Locking the Bet and Sign Off

    College Baseball Weekend 11 Recap: Kansas Sweeps, Pitt Surges, SEC/ACC/Sun Belt/American Shakeups

    The 11.7 podcast recaps weekend 11 with a focus on major risers and fallers across college baseball. Kansas sweeps Kansas State on the road, boosts its RPI to 12, and looks like a serious Big 12 title and hosting contender, while UCF rebounds with a road sweep at Utah and Cincinnati builds momentum with ranked series wins despite a midweek loss. UCLA remains No. 1 despite a shaky series vs Sacramento State, and USC’s sweep of Purdue highlights resume questions tied to quad records. In the SEC, Florida’s Friday strength (Aidan King) contrasts with series losses, Texas A&M earns credit for a series win and Jorian Wilson’s impact, Georgia’s Caden Aoki delivers huge innings to win Game 3 at Ole Miss, and LSU’s bullpen collapses in a sweep at Mississippi State, pushing LSU toward missing the postseason. The ACC segment covers Pitt’s explosive week, Wake Forest’s collapses vs Georgia Tech, Florida State got swept by Stanford, and bubble/hosting debates.

    College Baseball Weekend #10 Recap + Conference by Conference Breakdowns

    All right, what's up college baseball fans welcome to another episode of the 11.7 podcast weekend number 10 recap episode is brought to you and everybody by home field apparel use promo code CWS 26 for 15% off incredible launch this past Friday on home fields 2026 college baseball pullover I forget what they're called pullover classics whatever they are they're freaking sweet they launched eight new teams plus restocked I believe 16 other teams from the past I know that like Oregon State Texas and somebody else sold out within like three hours I believe they have some teams remaining I haven't double checked their website so maybe you guys as listeners should double check and see what's still available and what has sold out but really just check out their whole site like they're a great partner of ours they've been a partner of ours for three plus years and like it has grown tremendously in the last three years and that's why they continue to invest in college baseball so homefieldapparel.com use our promo code for 15% off it's CWS 26 our graphic on YouTube Dimitri it says CWS 24 which shows how long we've been with the guys they were super pumped and happy with the promotion and everything from this past week with Jackie Robinson day last Wednesday check them out all right you know it's funny you know it's really funny this is how long it's been since you and I have done a just two-man episode and we actually use the correct graphic because I think the last one we have the one that was hiding behind our cameras or whatever but this is the actual graphic that we were using for two-man shows and it was 2024 so CWS 24 Jack was with us in 24 we were doing a lot of three-man shows that was when we first started putting the pod back on YouTube you know funny story Dimitri I'll tell this to the the listeners before we get going we were so early to YouTube like our 2019 season we put I think most of our podcasts on YouTube but it was just me James and then you would be the third chair and we had like a thousand YouTube subscribers from just posting interviews we had with players and coaches and then after 2019 we stopped with YouTube for 2020 2021 2022 and then 2023 like we went four years without a YouTube channel and it's hilarious that we actually had to start a new YouTube channel because we forgot the login to our first YouTube channel with like a thousand so 11.7 is so uh we can't even get a little sponsorship code promo code correctly we can't remember password we just throw shit up and see if it sticks that's basically what we do we have yeah times have changed we invested so hard into audio only for the longest time and like I still think audio is the best way to listen to a podcast like that's what I do whenever I'm listening to shows whether I'm working or working out you know I think pod or driving like listening to a podcast while driving is incredible but yeah like we found out that we probably should have continued to invest into YouTube and all that stuff but I'm happy where we're at now I think what we're gonna do today last Sunday we were so nervous that it was gonna be a bad podcast because of the field of 64 live build and it turned out like our most of our audience and fans thought it was great what I want to do today Dimitri is an old school 11.7 style podcast where we go conference by conference look at the conference standings figure out like hey is this a one big league like who's gonna come out with the bit like we're gonna go share screen Warren Nolan conference by conference and discuss what's going on in this college baseball world as we go through it we will hit on key points from the weekend teams that stood out made statements we'll do the whole nine yards there but I love the classic conference by conference let's look at every single conference and figure out who is who's performing who needs to get some work done and all of that so while you pull that up I'll let you share your screen because if I if I run Warren Nolan the same time I'm running restream my computer sounds like a jet engine it's just hyperdrive and I'll do the screen share we need to invest in a better computer for you we I've been trying to get you to buy a new computer and I was willing to send you some fun but you just won't do it but now you're you know you're in a stable location I think it's time to get you one yeah I got a nice setup nice office in here spare bedroom I've started decorating a little bit I think I got to show this off by the way hold on are we gonna look at this actually this isn't even Minute Maid Park this is Enron Field from 2001 I believe let's see what does it say on the back doesn't give a year but yeah Enron Field it says retro like it's perfect dude it's a perfect desk toy I cannot wait until I have a setup where I have like college baseball jerseys behind me memorabilia all that stuff well you can make that happen whenever you want I know I just need to hang them all over my kitchen and all over the place yeah um where was I going with this oh do we actually have to discuss something real fast before we get into the conference by conference what Michigan just did to Dayton one hilarious two don't know if it's illegal or I don't know if it's legal and three I think this might be the first domino of many and for anybody that hasn't seen it yet Michigan sitting like 41 42 in the RPI they had a midweek game coming up against Dayton who's 199 roughly in the RPI well Miami Ohio's 57 in the RPI having a great season in the MAC and they had a midweek game coming up Tuesday against Bellarmine well Michigan just canceled their game against Dayton and I guess behind the scenes this is all legend I don't know the story or anything but Michigan just canceled the game probably reached out to Dayton like hey you know not gonna play you guys Tuesday we have another sorry you talk too much well no not that but just like I mean I'm just I'm literally speaking by in terms of RPI sorry you suck too much we can't play you we're too good for that for what we're trying to do it was probably more of like hey listen all of our jobs are like very important to us and we have to do what's best for the team and playing you guys is not it's a lose lose so you guys get to go play Bellarmine and Miami Ohio is going to host us we're going to drive down Michigan Wolverines are going to drive down and play at Miami Ohio and it's a quad one game for both teams like how nice is that yep if you're if the team is top 60 in the RPI and you're on the road that qualifies as a quad one game so Michigan my advice to you is do not lose this game don't lose it but there's a couple other points I want to talk about to like I don't know the legality of this because I know every team when building their schedule have to sign contracts I'm talking out of my ass here I don't know the facts about these contracts but I'm pretty sure there's probably financial guarantees one way or the other that I mean Michigan might have to throw Dayton a few bucks here there like I don't really know but this is a slippery slope that we all know college baseball is a copycat league when one team does something the whole country feels like hey we can do that too and pretty soon we're probably gonna see somebody like name a school here I don't know I don't want to throw anybody I'll tell you I just pulled up I just pulled up the Tuesday schedule yeah let's try to do a copycat league of our own here um for example let's see who is another bubble-ish team um I should have been a little more prepared for this but for example for example let's just pretend let's pretend Campbell or Charlotte was on the bubble they're playing each other let's say Charlotte was 45 50 Campbell was 200 Charlotte would be like hey we're gonna go play UNC Greensboro or we're gonna go play Wofford or somebody that's real kind of close to us but they're 60 RPI like Wofford is 70 or something so that's the kind of idea it would be like Florida state go to North Florida so North Florida was 200 Florida state was having a bad year I'm just trying to that's kind of what it would be like yeah well I just think that this is gonna start happening a ton in the Carolinas and in like the Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas region of the world where they're like hey you know how we told you we're gonna play you guys May 8th well we're actually not we found another opponent I'm telling you this is about to be a very very slippery slope like it could be I'll let you wait wait wait let me finish my point I do agree with these schools like you've got to do what's best for your team um it is very shady and not um I don't know whatever you want to call it but at the same time look at like college baseball fans should be pretty happy about this because we get better games better matchups on the midweek and to anybody who ever said who is anybody who ever tweeted the phrase midweeks don't matter you have to take it back or else you're not allowed to watch the games so if LSU was fighting for their lives and they schedule uh Southern Miss in a midweek those LSU fans can never say midweeks don't matter ever again and not to pick on LSU I'm talking about any school in the country no no LSU is a good example they're they're in a position where they're like dude we need every opportunity we can get to keep boosting this RPI up the higher it goes the more leeway we have with our FCC schedule our FC record for example if let's just say Tulane with a 38 RPI having a really good season and they were scheduled to go play Southeastern who's 180 RPI you call up Southeastern hey uh we can't we're not sure if we can make it um and Tulane called us saying they're looking for a midweek logistically it just works out better and bam you're done end of conversation you go play Tulane and get your quad one game what I hope this doesn't eliminate is my favorite tradition in the sport and that is the crazy excuses we w

    The 11.7 Podcast hosts recap midweek college baseball and preview Weekend 10, starting with a Homefield Apparel ad highlighting the Jackie Robinson Day UCLA collection, limited button-down jersey, and a Friday pullover “jersey” drop, plus teasing upcoming Omaha plans. They respond to listener comments about show length and Dmitri’s “speed it up” habit, then discuss Bethune-Cookman beating Florida after also beating LSU (despite losing to Mississippi Valley State) and note Sully’s tense, wordless pitching change. UC Santa Barbara ends UCLA’s 27-game win streak and is framed as a dangerous regional matchup due to elite pitching but offensive concerns. The episode hits other midweek upsets, debates Southern Miss and bubble/RPI dynamics (including Arizona State, Texas Tech, Vanderbilt, and SEC win thresholds), previews key weekend series, makes Pick ’Em selections, and spins the wheel to award Homefield prize packs to weekly Pick ’Em winners. 00:00 Podcast Intro and Sponsor 00:31 Jackie Robinson Collection 01:59 Pullover Drop and Omaha Tease 05:24 Listener Feedback Speed It Up 12:10 Bethune Cookman Upsets Florida 18:51 UCSB Ends UCLA Streak 26:07 Ole Miss vs Southern Miss Debate 39:15 Midweek Upsets Roundup 40:13 Midweek Upset Roundup 41:13 RPI Watch St Joes Trouble 42:24 Arizona State Bubble Slide 44:31 Coaching Changes Matter 49:29 Rice Owls Bubble Path 50:58 Texas Tech RPI Debate 01:00:22 Vanderbilt Magic Number Fight 01:08:42 SEC RPI Trends Scheduling 01:14:05 Preseason SEC Poll Reality Check 01:15:52 Weekend Lookahead Clemson Must Win 01:16:42 Close Losses Breakdown 01:17:04 LSU vs Texas A&M Stakes 01:17:39 Big West Bubble Talk 01:18:46 Upset Picks Segment 01:22:26 Mississippi State Spiral 01:22:57 Pick Em Slate Setup 01:26:30 Georgia Tech vs UNC Picks 01:28:32 Ole Miss vs Tennessee Picks 01:33:13 USC vs Nebraska Hosting Battle 01:38:00 Ohio State vs Purdue Picks 01:41:30 Cal Baptist vs Tarleton WAC 01:45:34 Liberty vs DBU Clash 01:49:30 Pick Em Prize Wheel 01:52:25 Final Story and Sign Off
