FAU Softball gets disrespected and ends up in the Gainesville regional as the #2 seed.
The #2 seed is correct but we deserved better than being in the regional with the country's #1 seed.
Beat them!! Go Owls!

Second most wins in the NCAA - not worthy of a ranking? I know it's C-USA, but the Sunbelt Champs definitely grabbed a spot. Didn't we win like 21 straight to end the season? Was their resume that much more impressive? Or is this a facilities issue again?
Why UF again?! You put the second most wins as the two seed with the team with the most wins. Even if the two seed is accurate, why not somewhere like the FSU regional? Having to beat UF (most likely twice) is a death sentence.
Definitely seems like disrespect, as previously mentioned.

I assure you that the Gators are not real happy with us being there too.Posted On: May 16th 2016, 5:44 AM #356188
Agree. The Gators could be saying the same thing, that they got disrespected by having us sent to their regional.
To @Owlsfan4: Our RPI was not quite high enough to host (23 as of the last ranking). Based on that, the #2 seed is correct, however, if they insist on keeping us in FLA, I agree, the FSU regional was probably more accurate.
Now we just have to play and not worry about it. At this point, everyone is good. Before we worry about UF, we have to worry about UCF (31 RPI).
Go Owls! One game at a time.

We beat UCF earlier in the season. Yet i know its different come tournament time. I guess taking on schools like Rutgers, Michigan State, Illnosis, Purdue, Minnesota didnt make much of a difference in the RPI rankings.Posted On: May 16th 2016, 8:09 AM #356191
Rutgers is #110. Michigan State is #105. Illinois is #48. Minnesota is #22. Beating Top 50 teams are the ones who help your RPI the most, not just schools who sound like they are big names.
