as long as they win, I dont care who they put out there. this is a must win game.
Think they'll be able to get this game in tonight with the weather forecast for more rain?
Yeah, I'm kind of doubtful whether this game is a go tonight. Weather may be nasty and fairly widespread.
Why are people hoping for a rainout? Are we afraid to play DBU?
Eh. It's baseball.Not afraid of DBU, it would just be nice to have an extra day of rest for OU.

I would probably prefer this one is rained out given that they are planning to throw their ace. RPI impact on a win would be from .586 to .587 or .588. A loss would drop to .580 or so. So yes, there is more risk than reward to this game RPI-wise.
From Frogs McGee......
So a win jumps our RPI up by 1/1000th of a point, while a loss drops us by about 6 times that amount.
They're throwing their ace (who is 7-1 on the year), while we're throwing our 5th or 6th starter. So like McGee said, the risk/reward really just isn't there for us.

How is RPI calculated?
If this is correct, it doesn't take into account traps like this where some crappy team happens to have one good pitcher that they save for midweek games.
Why don't they just use human rankings mixed with computer SOS, etc?
The BCS sucks, but the ranking system is actually pretty good going into the bowl games. It seems to usually be decently fair.
Yeah, but 7 games in 10 days would be better than 8. I'm sure most guys on the team would agree with that and take it if they could get it.
