Treating each game as a binomial event:
Remaining games: 7
Record needed for a winning regular season: 7-0 (.781% probability)
Record needed for .500 regular season: 6-1 (5.469%)
Someone with a gambling background can fine tune those odds with RPI, winning %, home field, etc.
Even worse, 65% of the games were played at home, a huge advantage and somehow a still a losing record.

We have VT next, correct? VT is literally one of the hottest teams in CBB right now. It’s looking more & more that 1957 is looking like tomorrow
 
There’s only 7 seasons where Miami baseball finished sub .500:

-1940
-1946
-1948
-1952
-1954
-1957
-2024

Out of those 7 sub .500 seasons, only 3 were 4+ games under .500:

-1946
-1952
-2024

Unless we have a crazy, miraculous run in the ACC tourney, this will truly be a historical season. The silver linings r, of course, Cuvet, a nice bounce back 2nd half of the season for Long, Ziehl showing the heart of a pit bull, & a pleasant offensive surprise from Scanlon.

I hope it happens, but as of right now I believe we would face Clemson and wake in our pool, and if that wasn't bad enough potentially chase burns.
 
Just for laughs there is a team called Maryland Eastern Shore that went 0-48 this year. They are in the same conference as Long Island and Stonehill.
They are second to last in RPI to an 8 win team, strangely. Kind of been following their futility with fascination. JD will probably go after their portal transfers.
 
I just realized that none of the three D1 programs in South Florida finished the regular season above .500:
FAU 26-27 (RPI 174)
FIU 26-28 (RPI 129)
Miami 25-29 (RPI 90; worst in the ACC)
