Beat A&M and sweep on the weekend and fall two spots. It happens

Beat A&M and sweep on the weekend and fall two spots. It happens

we moved up 10 spots, we were 29 last week and 19 this week.

[CajunAmos]

Beat A&M and sweep on the weekend and fall two spots. It happens

We were #29 in the last RPI listing so we actually moved up ten spots.

[BeauCajun]

The rest of the schedule won't help our RPI rank at all. I think we'll just miss hosting even if we win out.

[RaginScotsman]

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.

The rest of the schedule won't help our RPI rank at all. I think we'll just miss hosting even if we win out.

For it to help at all Coastal has to stay in the top 100, currently 96, ULM really hurts being at 105, but they could sneak into the top 100.

Never know what will happen around you to change that. Also keep in mind that a dozen teams ahead of us are PAC-12 or SEC. Some of those teams nitty gritty report isn't as good as ours. Geography could come into play as well. Ahead of us in the area right now are Auburn, A&M, Baylor, LSU & Alabama. Do they give host sites to both Auburn & Alabama or does UL take a spot over Bama? If we have to travel I hope it is to LSU. Would be nice for our fans to see the kitty kats go down yet again in their own house.

It's not about the rankings, but the records. Coastal Carolina and ULM have records above the overall records of the teams the Cajuns have played, so beating them will improve our WP and OWP (75% rpi score). The Cajuns will move into the top 16 of the rpi rankings as long as they win their last 9 games. The question is "Will the committee reward us for doing so?"

[wcd35]

Yep, you're right. I had looked at the Nitty Gritty which has the non-adjusted RPI next to the Adjusted. I mistook that to be the previous

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.
