Kirk Bohls said this in Austin American Statesman about this:
"The Texas baseball team needs to finish ahead of Texas A&M or Oklahoma State in the final Big 12 standings or risk losing an all-important top-eight national seed, which assures home-field advantage for NCAA regionals and super-regionals. I'm assuming the 30-win Longhorns are a lock as a top 16 regional host, but according to WarrenNolan.com, they have only a 22 RPI and a low 77 strength-of-schedule rating, in part because they didn't play Rice, TCU or Cal State Fullerton this year, and their two wins over Stanford don't register as well because the Cardinal entered the weekend in seventh place in the Pac 10."

Just found this interesting that he thinks UT is a lock to host a regional with that high of an RPI. Have read some on here saying that RPI was all important in hosting a regional and that it would be almost impossible for them to get a top 16 RPI?
