No way he develops into the pitcher he is now with our coaching staff.

The winner then has to beat the Razorbacks twice in a row to reach the championship series.

What makes this even more exciting is that the KSU coach was in my son's class at Athens High School.   The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

Obviously...but before that? I could be wrong. But I think the answer is never. I've looked and seen a #4 and #5 but never a #1. EMU and WMU had some pretty good teams back in the day.

But if it is the first, MAC office should be all over that. Should. I think it's a very interesting question. I checked a couple of media guides just out of curiosity. Ohio basketball's media guide lists games against ranked opponents (since 1960). During that time, Ohio is 0-6 against #1's (last one was against UC in 1999). Ohio football media guide does not list those games. However, the 2010 game notes included record vs. ranked opponents since 1990. During that time, Ohio hasn't played a #1. I checked Miami's guide and they do note their wins vs. highest-ranked opponents. In football, they beat #8 LSU in 1986. And in hoops they've beaten the #6 team twice (Utah in 1999 and UNC in 1973). Other than tweet volume, the MAC Media Relations guys are not that strong. Of course, maybe it's a double-edged sword. Maybe you don't want the world to know that none of your teams have beat a #1.

In the CWS opener Ohio beat USC 4-1. However, I'm not sure if USC was #1 at the time going into the tournament, but they finished the year obviously as #1 at the CWS and in the polls.

That's a good thought. I couldn't find a poll for that year except for the final one, but I did find that USC was 41-12 with an 11-3 record in the Pac-8. Texas was 36-6 and Florida State 45-7-1, so those sound like better resumes to have been ranked higher, but who knows for sure.

I'm curious about your sources . . . because my memory says the USC win was a 1-0 Ohio victory, not 4-1.  It is possible your sources are better than my memory, but I have a very distinct memory that it was 1-0, unless I'm confusing the USC game with another game at the CWS that year.   The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

In the CWS, the Bobcats beat USC 4-1, lost to Texas 7-2, beat Iowa State 9-6 and lost to Florida State 2-0. That last one is the closest one to 1-0.

Not to take anything away from Ohio's baseball team, because they were the premiere team in the region all season long, but some of their top competition just ended their season early as students were sent home. Vern Alden elected to let the team play on because he knew the team was pretty special.

I've tried and have not been successful in my google searches.  At this point, I'm kind of "bugged" by this because of my apparent "memory problem."  No, I won't use "senior moment" as an excuse!  The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."
