It bothers me to this day.

If you recall, Steve Kittrell added a game (late in the season) on the road midweek (Tuesday) against Florida State between their last conference game and the Sun Belt...

Yes, another "gaming the system" example due to the exploitable RPI.

Because not every team would play along. It would take full collusion to really work. But some teams would have Grambling or Prairie View A&M midweek and would come to the conclusion that they do not...

First priority is that there is not a sweep. If USM were a threat to take an at-large away from the Cajuns, I would say Coastal. But I do not think that will be the case (like it was with South...

Clete Hartzog, Troy’s top middle reliever, is in the game now against Alabama State. He came on with two outs in the 4th. Hartzog also earned the opening game win at Coastal.

Alabama State 2 Troy...

It was less than two weeks ago when I watched the same 14-27 Jacksonville State team go into Troy and beat the Trojans, holding them to three runs. Not a lot of difference between Jacksonville State...

I would also add that JMU has been horrible on the road ... 7-14.

It had a small impact on the Cajuns' RPI.

It pulled the Cajuns closer to Missouri. Missouri lost .00295 in RPI yesterday and fell from #8 to a #9 ranking. The Cajuns are now just .00052 away from...

Another team that had better right the ship is Coastal. They are not a lock for the tournament. They might even be a #3 seed at the moment. Big series in Hattiesburg this weekend for both teams.

Yes, this is one of their two big problems ... conference finish and record. They still have time to improve and move up ... along with a good conference tournament showing (the NCAA looks at overall...

Per my other post ... the Cajuns are not a 2 seed at the moment. They would need a strong finish to get there. If the Cajuns do not win the Sun Belt regular season, I do not think they make the...

Yes ... silliness. James Madison is not in the field at the moment. Both Southern Miss and Troy are bubble teams. At the moment I think you would have Coastal, Louisiana, and Troy in the tournament...

Colorado State just moved into the Base RPI Top 75 again through the 4/29 results published today ... adding .0013 RPI to the Cajuns' total. Chattanooga had recently moved into the Base RPI Top 75...

Warren Nolan is consistent with the official NCAA reporting of RPI and RPI ranking, unless there is a mistake in a game result (which both the NCAA and Warren Nolan occasionally make). Both have the...

No, the Jackson State game will help modestly, provided the Cajuns win. If the Cajuns need the game to stay sharp, keep it. It is less about RPI rank than you think.

Not playing (and beating)...

Cajuns' softball moved up to #11 in the RPI this weekend. The difference between where they are at #11 and the #13 spot is that special RPI bonus that only a few teams receive. The criteria seems to...
