Hard to get higher than #1

lol. arent we currently 8th in voting polls? last year werent we 16 or lower in rpi while also 8th in voting poll towards end of season?

RPI isn’t rank.

the term “power 5” is also not defined by the NCAA, nor does anyone in the NCAA play “women’s softball”, but i digress

Last year ended with an RPI of 18 on only 6 losses.

Almost as many losses already and an RPI of second to none.

you dont find it odd that poll ranking is same either way?

seems like the fact that prior to last year’s softball regional selections the ncaa was already on record stating that rpi was an inferior product has to be enough proof that the selections were invalid........ only way to save rpi seems to be if they reported non conf rpi and conf rpi separately

You understand that the P5 determines things not the NCAA. They declared themselves autonomous and the NCAA peed in their collective pants.

“ The conferences that comprise the Power Five are designated by the NCAA, individually by name, as "autonomy conferences". Section 5.3.2.1 of the NCAA Constitution grants such conferences autonomy”. .....if peed their pants means it was in the bylaws, than yes i understood that all along, but not really a major point in this thread. i should have defined “digress” instead

That came into existence several years ago. Kind of like your landlord telling you the lease is up, unless you’re willing to triple the rent, and you look around and there’s nothing to rent. Yeah that’s a voluntary change of terms.

When the NCAA unveiled the first RPI rankings for college softball Tuesday, anyone who wondered why UL coach Gerry Glasco put together such a tough pre-Sun Belt schedule found out why.

The No. 6-ranked Ragin’ Cajuns have the No. 1 RPI in the country.

I am very impressed with Glasco's grasp of the whole situation and his willingness to tackle things head on.

If spring season is toast due to medical risk to players....it seems fair to offer athletes who want one, a medical redshirt

This may be a separate thread topic.....medical reshirt not limited to #1 ranked softball.

Important to add.....for next year any Sr player this year wouldn't count vs Scolly limit next year.

RPI isn't rank.

hmm...on ncaa website if you click rankings you get a list that includes all the different rankings:
