LSU Baseball Is Off To A Great Start!

The LSU baseball team is off to a hot start with a 18-2 record. Only losses on the season are a Sunday loss to MSU (after winning the first two of the series) and a home loss to BYU back on Feb 23rd.  Upcoming games for the Tigers include a game tonight at 6:30 pm local against Northwestern St. and a weekend conference series against Auburn. The games this weekend will be played at home for LSU in Alex Box Stadium.

Here are a couple good write ups about last weekends series win for the Tigers. Here and here.

Good articles on college football

These are some articles pertaining to college football that I found interesting.

Impact of stats on college football playoff selection committee
       This one provides an interesting view of what stats and how these stats will be used in the selection process for the upcoming college football playoffs. Personally, I feel that there should definitely be more transparency in the selection process. Tell everyone the exact criteria that will be used in selecting teams. Also, the selection committee members should be ready to explain and justify their picks to the nation.  I would also like to see a margin of victory alongside strength of schedule as statistical components to aid in the selection process.


     Speaking of statistics, here is an article about big plays and how often they lead to points on the board. The numbers aren't all that surprising, but it is nice to have a more precise percentage to spout in those intense football discussions we all get in to.


     Hope you enjoy the reading material and feel free to leave some comments.
