4/7 softball rpi rankings

[lcitsh]

Poll ranking doesn't matter. Our RPI rank wasn't #4 I can tell you that much. While we did get snubbed if we find ourselves around 6 or 7 in RPI at the end of the year this year we will have a legit chance. If we're around 8 or 9 like we are now then no it ain't happening.

Our RPI shot up this week because we played WKU who had a nice record. USA is even better, a sweep over them would be all kinds of huge and even though we might only be "ranked" around 15th our RPI could be even higher, like top 8 higher (which is what will matter in the end)

That's what I understand on the matter, at least

Sad truth is, Cajuns look to have a better shot right now at getting a national seed than they did the year they were ranked #4 in the country. And it's all because of the schedule.

Our rpi shot up because our non-conference opponents had a 70% winning percentage on the week, which is 50% of the rpi formula. Beating WKU helped, beating USA will also be very helpful, and while this team does need to handle it's business, our fate will have more to do with what others do than what we do.

Thanks. We understand how the RPI formula works. Don't need you attempting to explain things on every other softball thread.

So you knew that our opponents won more than twice as many games as they lost last week? And you're sure everyone else knew that before I cited it? Interesting. Most people don't take the time to calculate that information.

"There you go back to being negative Nancy, thanks Nancy!"

My name is Terrell, not Nancy. And if you haven't been around this program long enough to know the unfair way this program has been treated by the selection committees over the last two decades, check with some of your friends who have so they can enlighten you.

That and adding WKU's 24-10-1 three times to our OWP. Baylor and USA are going to help keep us afloat in the regional seeds. And like you mention, definitely need others to keep winning. Teams like UT, Michigan, Baylor and OU we knew were going to be good for the RPI. It's also nice to get solid contributions from James Madison, USF, Chattanooga, etc. McNeese wont be a bad add either

The cat is a pompous douche that tries to make himself look better on this board by essentially rehashing the same points that GoneGolfin makes on here. Problem is, he isn't doing it to "inform" you or I, he's doing it in an attempt to inflate his tiny ego.

The reason many on here find him distasteful goes beyond his propensity to play Internet super hero for his buddy Scott Farmer. It's posts like these, where a poster makes a factual statement but he feels the need to add on with his own viewpoint in an attempt to make himself look like some sort of expert on whatever topic is being discussed. You probably know someone, maybe a friend or coworker, that does crap like this. It's pretty irritating.

Since I don't know who you are or what I've done to offend you away from this board, I apologize if I have, indeed, done something to wrong you. If your above comments are only related to my activity on this board, I can guarantee that your statements are erroneous. I don't need to impress anyone on this board since I am really not concerned with the opinions of people who hide their identities and reveal their character by hurling insults at people they don't know.

Most of my posts are for informational purposes. When I make a statement of fact, such as "our non-conference opponents had a 70% winning percentage on the week," it's because I've researched it to verify that it's correct. When I make a statement that is an opinion, such as "I have no faith that this selection committee will place us ahead of any BCS (yes, I still call them that) team," it should be obvious that there is a difference between the two.

I'm sorry you find me so distasteful. Keep in mind, the ignore function on this board works just fine. You are welcome to use it.
