This is a big game for both us and McNeese. We need another top 50 win, just as they need a top 25 win.
For us a loss here probably ends what hopes we have to host; for them a loss in this game...

You guys are going to believe what you want to believe, but the truth is that JMV has not posted on this thread under any name.
I know you are just pulling someone's chain, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that 8675039 is not JMV.
It's not just SEC bias, it is the ever changing criteria to favor ALL P-5 Schools. We played an essentially P-5 schedule this year. The committee will occasionally include a token Non P-5 just to...
Will definitely help, but I am not sure how much.
Our current RPI of .64884 is pretty far behind Florida State's .65463. Our remaining games are LSU [.68692], McNeese [.58610], ULM [.53684] x3...

One other thing. The Big 12 will have 11 softball teams next year. Too bad the SBC sponsors Softball; otherwise I believe we would be invited to become # 12.
UCLA [RPI 13], Washington [25] and Oregon [29] go to the Big 10. Those 3 will be the top of the league, and will pull up the RPI of the other teams in the league.
Arizona [22], Utah [43] and...

The SBC is definitely on an upward trend. We [SBC] are still not where I would like to see us be consistently. That won't happen until we see better scheduling from our conference mates. Right...
With six conference games remaining, all SBC teams other than Louisiana, Texas State, South Alabama and James Madison have been mathematically eliminated from winning even a share of the regular...
Our RPI rank as of Friday morning was 15. So far this weekend [not counting conference games between schools that we played both teams] our opponents record is 26-12, and I expect a similar rate of...

As of this morning, Louisiana moved up to 15. Still behind Auburn [by .00094], but passed Florida State. FSU swept a double header yesterday against Alabama State [RPI 267] and fell from 13 to 16. ...
