hopefully we will be in another conference in a few years

in regards to conferences, i'd love to see us stay sunbelt and the conference improve through steady membership, BUT, i wouldn't blame us for jumping ship to another conference if the deal was good enough. But, that's a whole nother post.

In regards to RPI, forgive me for forgetting some of the teams, it's monday.

Also, does RPI have ANY bearing on whether or not a team hosts a regional?

God Bless

GEAUX UL!

one more question: how accurate can RPI really be, when we beat troy 2 of 3 and are lower RPI than them? I guess I just need to understand how RPI is calculated.

Instances like this happen all the time. For instance, South Al beat us 2 out of 3, Troy swept South Al, and we took 2 of 3 from Troy. Not to mention, it takes into account for home an away. A home loss is worse than a road loss. In fact, if 2 teams are evenly matched, it is expected that the home team wins 2/3. thats why its important to win or sweep MT this weeken since we're on the road against a team with an RPI of 85 (aprx.)

the RPI formula is your won-loss record (25%), your opponents won-loss record (50%) and your opponents opponents won loss record (25%)

Both USA and Troy played stronger schedules, hence the difference in the RPI.
