Football In The Boot

Time for some College Baseball charts! Starting with LSU’s run to the national championship. They had a solid regular season, slightly led by their pitching. Struggled early in the tourney, but their hitting put them back on track until a slip up in game 1 vs CCU.

LSU and Ole Miss both with great Thursday nights to begin their weekend series. LSU looking to turn things around. Ole Miss, per my model, vastly underrated.

@Fantavious9 I have Ole Miss 6th in the country. Its such an outlier, I wonder if theres a glitch in their stats

After 5 weeks of play and data, I've 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙙 the SEC. Here's where every team stands. 📃 We're in for a big and important week 6 that starts tonight!

@RobsRankings I think OU takes 2/3

#5 Oklahoma in Baton Rouge to take on the Tigers. Will LSU begin their turnaround? A tough team to do that against is the Sooners

@DiamondBBSEC That’s about where my model puts it too. SERIES 2-1 OU

LSU and Oklahoma start their series tonight Oklahoma pitching has been really good to start the season and LSU’s struggles have continued I have Oklahoma taking 2 out of 3 from the Tigers

@DiamondBBStats Just wanted to come back and say that this app is amazing!! The ability to filter for games involving my top 25 is amazing!

@fbintheboot Can you email this to me please? Diamondbbstats@gmail.com

My Performance Ranking Top 25 (through Sunday) using @DiamondBBStats for the graphic.

I got that app just an hour ago and already love it. Highly recommend

@DiamondBBStats Looking at it again, maybe it’s only the Runs that are wrong

@DiamondBBStats Noticed it on Louisiana vs Houston but checked the BC game and saw the same thing. Seems it’s throughout the app

@DiamondBBStats Love the app already!

@DiamondBBStats Boxscore Pitching Totals are flipped. Individual pitchers are correct, but shows the opposing team’s totals

@tkev_dore I’m over here trying to build a college baseball model. But I’ve been missing these advanced stats the whole time.

Uniform record through 21 games: White pins: 3-0 White Louisiana script: 3-0 Black Cajuns script: 2-0 Red Cajuns script: 5-1 Grey Cajuns script: 1-1 Black Mardi Gras (awful): 1-1 White FDL (also bad): 1-2

Last night I got to chat about SEC baseball with Coach Pops on the @CollegeCrew podcast.

Chasing Omaha x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

🚨 LIVE TONIGHT: CHASING OMAHA 🚨 The box score is for casuals. We’re breaking the game down inning by inning — where it’s actually won. We’re diving into Bennett Bernard’s (@fbintheboot) self-made model, yeah, the guy from “Football in the Boot”, who’s spent years building a system that tracks how teams control baseball games pitch by pitch, inning by inning. Not football, not hype. A homegrown baseball model built from the ground up and it’s exposing who’s real. 💥 THE BIG QUESTIONS: Is the best team in the country really sitting in the SEC… and is it Texas? What in the hell is going on in Baton Rouge? Is this finally Arkansas’ year… or is that just hype season again? ⚔️ SERIES WE’RE HITTING HARD: Oklahoma at LSU Texas at Auburn Florida at Alabama 📊 We’re not guessing. 📊 We’re not parroting ESPN. 📊 We’re showing you who actually controls innings — and why that matters. If you care about winning baseball, not just highlight clips, this is your show. 🎙️ Chasing Omaha — LIVE tonight.

@64Analytics My model includes weekday games. I’ve considered putting them at a lower weight, but there could be value in it to understand a team’s pitching depth.

Hot take: Mid-week games, while fun, don't paint any picture whatsoever. Winning/losing when you're throwing the back 1/2 of your staff doesn't paint the picture of your team. Hot take 2: RPI doesn't account for that. RPI=NCAAT seeding. Midweeks can really hurt your seeding.

@JaredSledge_98 @_RussellJohnson @DiamondBBStats I came back here because I misremembered and thought you told me Auburn had a great Tuesday pitcher…

@fbintheboot @_RussellJohnson @DiamondBBStats GT has a pitcher that’s been really solid on Tuesday nights as well. I think people are sleeping on GTs pitching. ERA is 3.87 which is pretty dang good in college these days.

This top ten matchup not being on TV today is asinine. Georgia Tech clearly the better offensive team, (they are arguably the nation’s best) but Auburn is 17-2 for a reason. Side note- the @DiamondBBStats app will change the way college baseball is covered and followed forever

@CollegeBaseCNT @mgrissom I think it’s a mix. I think Texas and Auburn are top tier. Ole Miss is great. Tenn very good. This is my top 10 based on my ranking system. x.com/fbintheboot/st…

Is the SEC dominating this list because of the lack of competition they've faced or are these pitching staffs really this good? Time will tell, but we want to hear your thoughts.
