Lunardi Projecting the Cajuns to be in Big Dance

The committee did not make it all about RPI. They clearly stated that they wanted to see who you beat.

NITwits.

That is double dipping.

RPI is already the cumulative data of who you did and didn't beat.

They made about one-off nights.

It's only part of it. The majority of the RPI is made up of SOS which ours lacked from the beginning and didn't get any help from teams we beat OOC.

SOS #209

I agree. That's why I was curious why you thought the NCAA screwed us over so bad? Honestly, as good of a season we had wins and losses, I didn't really think we would have done enough to get an at large anyhow. SOS, SOR, RPI and BPI were all just not going to cut it, especially when we saw what the selection committee's focus was on when making their final at large selections.

Because for years they’ve beaten the RPI drum. They’ve beaten the “win your conference” drum.

We won the conference and were 30 spots higher in RPI. By their own criteria, we deserved better.

They move the target. Constantly.

They move the target. Constantly.

What they really do is adjust the analysis year by year to hit the target.

The 209 SOS is included in the RPI.

Don't double dip.

But our RPI was not really all that good. We were not as good as MTSU, St. Mary's, Syracuse, USC, WKU, Louisville and so on. We didn't have any good wins which still would have put us on the outside looking in had we finished with a more competitive RPI to those other schools.
