April 24 softball rpi rankings

Maybe that loss at TXST did leave us on the outside looking in. I don't think sweeping Coastal and ULM will boost us enough to be top 16. It may be a blessing in disguise as being as being a 2 seed in a regional paired with like a 5,6,7,or 8 seed may be an easier path to Oklahoma City then a hosting as a 15 or 16 and traveling west for a super.

You might think he's crazy, but let Stevie explain.


What a burger.

Winning our last six games (Coastal Carolina and ULM) will increase our RPI nicely as they are decent RPI games. All other things being equal, sweeping these games would land the Cajuns in the #16 RPI ranking slot (current rankings). That said, Kentucky has the remaining schedule where they can increase their RPI as well and snag the #16 spot. We want an Aggie sweep over Kentucky.

Also something to consider, regardless of RPI ranking ... Kentucky is presently 3-7 vs. the peer group (RPI Top 25). BYU is 2-7. BYU also wears an 11-1 mercy rule loss to Texas A&M. Aggies can make that Kentucky record vs. peer group look even worse.

Also something to consider for folks that prefer not to host as a #15 or #16 seed ... the Cajuns could be #17 and get sent to LSU (whom may be a #14 -> #16 seed). Then you get the worst possible scenario ... not hosting and then facing a top national seed in the supers after dispatching LSU.

That sounds terrible, Brian. Just terrible.
