Should Texas A&M baseball cancel 'bad' RPI midweek games in 2027?

· Yahoo Sports

Texas A&M is officially the 12-seed and will host a Regional Round in the NCAA baseball tournament, starting on Friday afternoon, as the Aggies host Lamar, Texas State, and USC. Before the Aggies take on Lamar to open the regional, NCAA Baseball Selection Committee chair Michael Alford revealed that the primary reason the Aggies dropped from the national seed conversation.

After finishing the last ten games 4-6, including back-to-back series losses to Auburn and Ole Miss, the Aggies did not help their case to earn a national seed, but entering the postseason with six SEC series victories, including road wins over LSU and the Florida Gators, who are the 8-seed after making an impressive run in the SEC Tournament.

Head-to-head wins matter, but Alford essentially confirmed that the Aggies' midweek win over Prairie View A&M, whose RPI was in the upper 300s, contributed to this seed, while Texas A&M's strength of schedule, ranked 212th, was also an eyesore compared to the eight teams that earned national seeds.

While the Aggies are focused on returning to the Super Regional Round and the College World Series for the first time since the 2024 season, I wouldn't be surprised if this leads Texas A&M and many other Power Four programs to cancel midweek games, potentially costing them a national seed.

Texas A&M will face Lamar on Friday at 3:00 p.m. CT, and the game will air on the SEC Network.
