KU Baseball on the happy side of the NCAA bubble, for now.

Kendall Rogers of Rivals thinks KU would make the NCAA tournament right now but the Jayhawks are still in the "danger zone."

Kansas
Record: 31-15
RPI: 67
This weekend’s opponent: at Oklahoma
Analysis: After taking a step back two weekends ago at Texas Tech, the Jayhawks bounced back last weekend with a series win over Nebraska. KU, however, now has a less than stellar RPI with a 12-11 record against top-100 RPI teams. Though Kansas could be on the bad side of the bubble in the eyes of some, the fact it has a 10-8 conference record and a fifth place standing speaks volumes.

How's the rest of the schedule....

shape up. Does it do us any favors or is this going to be a tough road from here.

Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.

Rough as hell,

but that is in a way a good thing. KU can continue to state their case on the field rather than in the press.

Three at Oklahoma – OU is RPI #16.
One at Wichita State – The Shockers RPI is all the way down at #109 but they will be hard to beat at home. Rivalry.
Three at Missouri – Tigers have regrouped and are a bubble team as well now. RPI #31
Split seris with K-State. One in Manhattan, two in Lawrence. Bat Cats are very good this year. RPI #24.

I included the RPI’s above. KU can up their RPI in the next three weeks by winning games. If KU wins six of these 10 I think they will get in. If they go 5-5?….. It will make for a very nervous selection day. Eight of the 10 games are on the road, and all against quality opponents. KU is only 5-9 on the road this year.

So, it will be an exciting finish, but KU does hold their own destiny in their hands.
