If even half of this bias is seen with the baseball selections, the Cajuns better darn well win the Sunbelt tournament.
It is ok to be upset but we better focus on McNeese. If we are distracted they can beat us. Focus girls. Can't do anything about the selection committee now. Just prove them wrong.
If you look at the brackets, you will see that LSU (#13) and UCLA (#5) are the only hosts with no other Power 5 opponents in their region. Ole Miss, who, at #12, is supposed to have an easier draw than #13, has 2 P5 teams, the ACC runnerup, North Carolina, and the 6th place PAC 12 team, Arizona State. Enjoy your hosting, Rebels.
They are so honored to be chosen that they feel obligated to let the P5 football conferences double dip on SOS.
Once upon a time, UL had a rep on this committee the same year the Lady Cajuns had the #1 OOC SOS/RPI in the country. He came back defending a seed below their overall RPI rank.
Turned out to be a viable suspicion. Through it wasn't just Ole Miss. Utah and Kentucky got, in my opinion, unjustifiably rewarded by the committee. Utah really sticks out having limped to the finish line and getting swept at home by UW basically hours before the Selection show.
Nothing we can do now. Let's do our usual thing in Baton Rouge.
