[CajunCherokee]

Looking in the near future, we have some pretty good RPI games - three against #56 Georgia State, three against #2 Florida and a single against #37 McNeese.

After that it goes downhill fast (#213, #109, #176). We need to win the majority of the next 7 games.

We should be, at worst, 4-3 in those 7. I expect 5-2.

5-2 sounds about right.

[CajunEXPRESS]

The last time I looked Florida starter have a sub 1.0 ERA. It is a challenge to win a game vs that.

We're missing a bat that rarely strikes out.

[BirdofParadise]

For some reason, I always expect us to sweep on the weekend. Been spoiled in that regard.

If we win one in Gainesville, that's a monumental win.

Yeah, their staff is crazy tough.

Ocasio is 12-1 with 0.42 ERA and 88 strikeouts in 84 innings.
Gourley is 10-2 with 0.86 ERA with 111 strikeouts in 81 innings.
Barnhill is 12-0 with 1.36 ERA with 112 strikeouts in 72 innings.

Sweet Baby Jesus we will need your help with this team!!!

[31Ragin97]

Im sure the big boys\ girls will immediately create a new rpi formula, lol

That is 237 innings pitched against teams that do not hit like the Cajuns. Not saying we will kill them, just saying that our bats are as scary as their arms.

If they get serious about locking us out of the club, they won't do it that way; they will just make softball a headcount sport.

[31Ragin97]

What is "headcount sport", does that mean more scholarships than starters like football and hoops, so maybe 25 scholarships??

Georgia State, with their 19-18 record, will not help much. Florida will help tremendously, because we not only pick up their record for our OWP (50%), we pick up everybody they have played to that point (Michigan, Auburn, LSU, etc.) for our OOWP (25%). Any win against Florida will also give the bonus points for top 25 non-conference victories.

[VObserver]

A headcount sport requires that every player receiving financial assistance from the University is counted as a full scholarship; scholarship numbers vary by sport, even by gender. I would assume that if baseball and softball were made headcount sports, the scholarship limits would be in the neighborhood of 25 for baseball and 30 for softball.

The danger to us lies, not in the fact that 25 or 30 scholarships cost more than 11.7 or 12 [the current baseball and softball limits, each of which can be split among several players], but that now Arizona and Florida and Michigan and Oklahoma and other P5 schools have 30 each, and they WILL get some of our better players because of conference factors, among other advantages offered by such schools. Better living conditions, fewer bus trips and generally better support facilities and personnel are just some of those.

I agree that Georgia State's record isn't great and neither is their #57 RPI - but it's not too bad, especially when you look down the road. In fact, it's the best Sun Belt RPI outside of South Al. I know it's about who you play, but I was surprised to GSU's RPI that high with their record.
