The hosts record a late-night, shortened 11.7 Podcast episode without Jack (traveling) and initially without Noah, mixing World Baseball Classic discussion with a midweek college baseball recap and weekend series picks. They react to a string of uninspired LSU performances, give Louisiana a mea culpa after strong wins including over LSU, and praise a Southern Miss–Mississippi State midweek thriller while debating how much midweek games matter for RPI and postseason readiness. They highlight undefeated starts by Texas and USC, detour into a spirited “college baseball blue bloods” debate using historical regional/super-regional/CWS data, and show an early field-of-64 projection tool. Weekend picks include DBU over Louisiana, split opinions on FGCU vs Bethune-Cookman, Coastal over ECU, UCF over Murray State, UNC over Virginia, and a split on Rice vs Abilene Christian, plus frustration with a weak SEC nonconference slate.

The 11.7 Podcast welcomes former Yankees World Series champion and Nebraska College World Series alum Joba Chamberlain, who discusses reconnecting with college baseball through his son Karter, the growth in exposure for the sport, and his unconventional path from Division II Kearney and summer ball to Nebraska, Team USA, and the first round of the MLB Draft. Chamberlain reflects on College World Series changes from Rosenblatt to the current era, shares parenting and clubhouse stories from his MLB days, and emphasizes “getting outs” over pitching metrics. He weighs in on NIL, the best timing for the MLB Draft, and why the “midges” moment still follows him every October, while also talking Nebraska’s need to keep in-state talent and win to return to Omaha. The show finishes with weekend series picks and discussion of major tournaments and notable midweek upsets.

This episode of the 11.7 podcast recaps weekend two of the college baseball season, previews the upcoming midweek slate, and breaks down the newly released 11.7 Mid-Major Power Rankings (referred to as “power rankings” due to a past trademark issue with “mid-major top 25”). The hosts also discuss podcast updates (including expanded Instagram/Facebook posting due to audience requests), Dimitri’s new microphone, and shout-outs to game analysts and broadcasters from the weekend’s tournament coverage. 

The show notes major movement in the mid-major rankings, especially in week two. Southern Miss is ranked No. 1 after a six-game win streak and a strong Round Rock showing; UC Santa Barbara is No. 2; UTSA is No. 3 after sweeping Dallas Baptist and starting 7–0; Coastal Carolina and UC Irvine round out the top five while dealing with injuries and a surprising home series loss, respectively. Louisiana Tech is highlighted at No. 6 ahead of an upcoming matchup with Southern Miss. Other notable risers and storylines include Cal Poly at No. 7, Kent State’s 17-spot jump to No. 8 after winning a series at Tennessee, San Diego entering at No. 9 after strong early results despite losing a key shortstop right before the season, and UTRGV at No. 10 after winning a road series at Houston while playing an early schedule heavy with Big 12 opponents.

Kent State receives extended discussion for sweeping Southeastern, competing with LSU midweek, and then taking two of three at Tennessee. Individual notes include Sawyer Solitaire’s hot start, Serin Coffee’s scoreless innings, and Easton Tous (Texas transfer) as a mid-90s starter. The hosts also cover the rest of the Top 25, including South Florida at No. 11, Dallas Baptist dropping to No. 12, Mercer rising after sweeping Columbia, ECU at No. 17 including a rain-shortened tie vs UNC and how the tie will be handled in 11.7 pick’em/survivor games, Louisiana entering at No. 22 after sweeping Maryland (with freshman shortstop Blaise Rodriguez’s five-hit day in a 15-inning game), and UAB at No. 25 for quality early wins.

In “teams of the weekend,” UCLA is praised for sweeping TCU and for key players like Roch Cholowsky (six homers in six games at the time of recording, discussed as a potential No. 1 overall pick) plus standout pitching performances from Logan Redman and Weiland Moss. LSU is described as an elite offensive club with questions about starting pitching. Texas is highlighted for pitching development under Max Weiner and the strength of its rotation and closer usage. Georgia Tech’s offense is discussed as potentially elite despite questions about schedule strength, and Auburn is credited for going 3–0 in Arlington with wins over Kansas State, Florida State, and Louisville.

The episode also touches on Oregon State’s offensive struggles while praising Dax Whitney’s dominant 17-strikeout performance, shouts out UNC’s Jason DeCarlo for consistency and command, and previews key midweek games (including Arizona StateOklahoma). The hosts list the next 11.7 weekend series pick’em matchups—Florida–Miami, Southern Miss–Louisiana Tech, Michigan–San Diego, South Florida–UCF, Nebraska–Auburn, and USC–Cal Poly—and close with notes on upcoming tournaments, early Southland conference play, a planned World Baseball Classic preview episode, and Jack’s return for the next show.

This episode of the 11.7 Podcast serves as a combined Weekend 1 recap, midweek recap, and Weekend 2 preview. They highlight coverage from major opening-week events, including Noah’s on-site recap of the Shriners Children’s College Showdown in Arlington, where Oklahoma went 3–0 and impressed with two-out hitting, aggressive baserunning, and unexpected power. Noah also spotlights Texas Tech freshman Lincoln Garcia and TCU standouts including Noah Franco (four shutout innings vs Arkansas) and shortstop Lucas Franco, while noting TCU starter Tommy LaPorte will miss his upcoming start. The group discusses Noah’s interview video with Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn and his initial reluctance turning into engagement.

Jack recaps calling Coastal Carolina vs Fairfield, praising Coastal’s student-run broadcast production, the atmosphere in Conway, Coastal’s deep pitching, and the fan reaction to coach Kevin Schnall returning for Game 3. The hosts discuss how Coastal has shifted from being known primarily as an offense-first team to emphasizing pitching development, technology, and live arms. Ben also recaps Mercer’s series win over Troy, pointing to Mercer’s improved pitching development and midweek win over Georgia State, while noting Troy’s 16–1 Game 3 response.

Dimitri’s top Weekend 1 series is Southern Miss vs UC Santa Barbara, emphasizing Jackson Flora’s electric stuff and a dramatic Sunday finish that included defensive miscues, a game-tying ball off the center-field wall, and a walk-off walk. They talk about how rare it is for elite pitchers like Flora (UCSB) and Cam Flukey (Coastal) to remain at non-power-conference programs, and later break news that Flukey will not pitch this weekend (not arm-related). They also discuss UT Rio Grande Valley’s energized home crowds vs Kansas, and Noah and Dimitri debate which opening weekend was most impressive, bringing up Michigan’s wins over Oregon State, Arizona, and Stanford, as well as Michigan State beating Louisville twice at Jim Patterson Stadium.

Players of the week include LSU’s Jake Brown (five home runs through four games), Baylor’s Ty Armstrong (three grand slams in one game), Vanderbilt catcher Colin Barczi (three second-deck home runs in Globe Life Field), and Tennessee’s Blaine Brown (three homers on the weekend, then a midweek start with 94–97 mph). They also mention Florida State’s Myles Bailey’s massive first-pitch home run and the Tallahassee atmosphere.

For Weekend 2 previews, they outline multiple tournaments (including Jacksonville College Baseball Classic, Round Rock Classic, and the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series in Arlington) and discuss likely storylines for teams like Indiana, UCF, Notre Dame, Southern Miss, Oregon State, Baylor, and Kansas State (including D. Kennedy’s hot start and LASIK note). They finish with the Weekend Series Pick ’Em slate and make selections for: North Carolina at East Carolina; TCU at UCLA; UTRGV at Houston; Dallas Baptist at UTSA; West Virginia at Liberty; and Wright State at Charlotte, while also noting the new team-page updates on the 11.7 website.
