How much did Texas St. benefit by having their series with App. St. cancelled?

[RaginDave]

How much did Texas St. benefit by having their series with App. St. cancelled?

In rankings and conference none at all. They would have likely swept app state and added 3 more wins this week. The problem is that if they end up tied in the loss column with us, then we will win out due to our better record.

Also, it should be noted that app state is much better this year in softball than in previous years, their record is 12 and 14. Not saying they are good, but they are better.
