Where LSU baseball stands in final national rankings entering regional play

The final rankings before regionals have been released, and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons finished the year as the unanimous No. 1 team in the country.

They are one of 16 teams that earned the right to host a regional and one of eight teams with the right to host a super regional. The regional hosts were more decided by RPI rankings than baseball polls.

A lot of analysts and coaches believe that the RPI system is broken, but we have yet to find a fix for it. LSU finished the year as the No. 5 seed and as low as the No. 7 team in the country, depending on the poll.

Here’s how all the final national rankings look entering the Baton Rouge Regional this week.
