Surprised to see OSU drop only a few spots. I hope them and the Ducks each get home series in the playoffs.

I found it interesting that Oregon State is 6-6 against Big Ten teams (6-3 if you exclude the Ducks). Not saying they're a paper tiger, but just noted it yesterday after looking at their schedule.

OSU also plays Iowa next, so it'll be interesting to see how that series plays out.

#10 and #12 in other major polls. If Oregon can win MSU/Washington series, and at least win one against Iowa, I think they have a solid shot at hosting a regional.

Oregon is now #34 in the RPI after being #51 before the weekend sweep.

Still quite a difference between voted ranking and RPI ranking. Seems clear that teams are docked hard for bad losses (e.g., the losses to PU and tOSU) in the RPI.

Iowa is positioned to win the Big 10 but isn't in the top 25. I was looking at their schedule and their out of conference play includes losses to Notre Dame, Wazzu (3x), Illinois State, Western Illinois, and South Florida (2x).

They've for sure turned it around, props to them.
