[BeauCajun]

UT needs to move up a couple.

[VObserver]

I would settle for Baylor moving up 1.

[jllanclos]

When are NCAA selections made for softball? Sunday night?

[wcd35]

Yes 9 PM on ESPNU

[jllanclos]

I don't think I've ever wanted to fast forward to regionals so badly. I'm enjoying the ride, but I see why the baseball team calls this "grinders."

[ulforlife]

UT needs to move up a couple.

Not really, we went 0-2 against them. So adding 2 more losses to our top 25 resume would actually be a bad thing

[Turbine]

Unless you think the top-50 numbers get burried its doesn't seem like 2 losses to top-25 could possibly be worse than 2 losses to top-50

[CajunEXPRESS]

Think you are right Trubine

[ulforlife]

Good thought, although I would think you want to look your best against the teams you are competing with for the regional spots. Maybe I'm wrong but:

12-4 vs RPI top 25
3-2 vs RPT 26-50

looks better to me than

12-6 vs RPI top 25
3-0 vs RPI 26-50

Hopefully Brian can weigh in. If we had even gone 1-1 against Texas then we would want them there for that RPI bonus, but not getting a win against them results in no bonus either way (if I understand correctly).

Given that the Cajuns are in strong contention for a national seed, a better record vs. RPI Top 25 will be more important since this would be their peer group. But they will also be looking closely at the RPI Top 50 ... which is unchanged in this scenario ... but the selection committee will specifically see the record vs. 26-50.

I think the Cajuns are looking good for a national seed. As long as they do not tank the SBC Tournament (and the new format really helps), I expect the Cajuns to finish Top 8 in RPI and have a chance at holding onto #6. Hopefully the Cajuns get to play ... and beat ... South Alabama twice.

So the top 25 teams count twice again as 'top 50' rather than 26-50?
