Charlotte 49ers baseball...

So why doesn't Charlotte play Dayton this year?

 

I don't know about the A10.....that's why I said "Most Conferences."

 

yes, it is. I'm not saying that it makes sense, I'm just saying that's the way it is.

 

It would hurt the Niners RPI?

 

14 A-10 teams (yet they still call themselves the A-10).

In conference, you are paired with one team that you play every year. (Charlotte is paired with Saint Louis since they came in together.) That leaves 12 others. You play four home and four away and that leaves four you don't play. Charlotte went to Dayton in '06, hosted Dayton in '07, so this year they don't play. This is the third year of that three-year rotation, meaning the teams that travel to Charlotte have not played there in conference yet and the four schools Charlotte visits will be the first trip in conference play for the Niners.

Hope that wasn't too lengthy of an explanation.

The baseball season is 13 weeks long now with the rule change, so you get four weeks of non-conference play before nine weeks of A-10 play. The ACC started last week so they could get in their play, which includes all but one team. Each league does it differently, depending on if you use divisions or not (which the ACC does, but the A-10 does not).

 

14 and 2

 

Beat Wake Forest 12 to 8 tonight. The Niners are now 18 and 3!

 

You'd think Charlotte would have an advantage in the A-10 being able to recruit the South heavily. The northern schools are terrible in college baseball. Big Ten-Big East are God awful

 

Yeah dude, the A-10 is TERRIBLE in baseball. We are going to absolutely cruise through the conference schedule and finish with a rediculous record, but the problem is, our SOS will be God awful..
