MB: Georgia Southern getting hot; how close are the Eagles to a postseason projection?
Aaron Fitt: Good call — Georgia Southern will definitely be a team we discuss at length in the next Nerdcast. They are now 8-4 in the Sun Belt and have climbed inside the top 50 of the RPI. Definitely on the bubble right now, and trending in the right direction!

Mason: The Sunbelt seems to be a gauntlet again this season – Where do you see the pecking order now that we’ve had a few weeks to parse through.
Kendall Rogers: Right now, I would go with, in order:

  1. Louisiana
  2. Coastal Carolina
  3. Southern Miss
  4. Georgia Southern
  5. Troy
CajunJoe: Cajuns in top 25 for first time in awhile. How would you compare this team to the 2014 team that made it to the supers?
Kendall Rogers: Cajun — This team isn’t near as offensive as some of those teams back then, but they’re getting better and they’ve got a superstar to lean on in shortstop Kyle DeBarge. I do really like the profile of this pitching staff more. Morgan/Herrmann/Langevin/Holzhammer, etc, are all high end arms … and they’ve got a few more talented arms beyond those guys as well.
