That may be. Or maybe it is just that no one has performed such a study.

However, even if one were to perform such a study, as you mention, I think there would potentially be a lot of factors involved, which may make it difficult to correlate types of regular season schedules with post-season success. I also agree with you that some teams may benefit (from a developmental perspective) from an easier schedule. I think scheduling is an area where the coach's ability to understand what the team needs to develop is very important (I guess that is kind of obvious).

Vt got 1 vote as the number one team… progress -- SuperFeHokie 04/12/2022 10:24PM

Oklahoma hasn’t and won’t have played a ranked series all season -- soflahokie 04/13/2022 08:42AM

I'm not sure that matters given that Oklahoma has beaten 4 ranked -- VTHokie2000 04/13/2022 10:02AM

Well there is a difference between a single game and a three-game series. -- dallasvt 04/13/2022 10:33AM

In the double-elimination format, a lot of times teams play the same team -- dallasvt 04/13/2022 11:02AM

Maybe so, but like I said earlier if Oklahoma makes it to the CWS -- VTHokie2000 04/13/2022 11:11AM

The original post mentioned OU specifically. OU has so much talent, -- dallasvt 04/13/2022 11:21AM

There may not be any empirical data because there are other factors -- VTHokie2000 04/13/2022 11:45AM

What do you mean? OKST and Texas right? ** -- dallasvt 04/13/2022 09:09AM

True, they weren't showing as ranked on their page -- soflahokie 04/13/2022 10:18AM

They are both ranked too. ** -- dallasvt 04/13/2022 10:30AM

That one voter must be an Oakie State fan. It'll take multiple losses . . . -- MidloHokie 04/13/2022 08:08AM

And the OU fans are upset they aren’t unanimous, lol -- VTsportscaster 04/12/2022 10:51PM

OK in a 7 team league. I wonder how that affects them. ** -- IB4TECH 04/13/2022 07:26AM

Means they’re worried 😎😎 ** -- hokiepro 04/13/2022 07:22AM

Exactly. ** -- SCHokie1103 04/13/2022 08:19AM
