Louisiana Softball Ranked #9 in Final Poll

[31Ragin97]

So for someone who follows softball, how else do you reconcile our spot in the rankings when we have beat 4 teams ahead of us?

And then there is McNeese. I did not see you make any mention of that team.

Asking for a friend.

speaking of names, isnt it still mcneese STATE?

Poll rankings are just that, Poll rankings. It is just another person's view of your team. Not sure how they determine the rankings, my guess is a lot of politics and traditions factor in. Regardless the season is over so no use talking about it.

maybe a misguided view of tradition or traditions of other sports at said univ, if it were softball tradition fat chance florida is higher, their first game was 1997, we had already been to seven regionals, hosted six and been to three world series, and playing for almost 20 years... but yes politics for sure, although this thread might now be adios

Your tradition gets squared with a national championship.

Branding, they want to drop the "State". Really.

As far as this softball seasons, the obvious takeaway is we could hang with the big teams, but can't get the recognition until we win it all. Sort of the Gonzaga of softball.

Neither one won WCWS that year, but we did our part to make sure they didn’t.

If you want to know what D1 Softball thinks of the Cajuns, go by their 2020 fantasy championship. I'm not bothering to post the link to their site, I'll just say South regional, not hosting, playing in Baton Rouge.

So in their eyes, we are no better than 17 and if LSU is 8, no better than 25. WOW

My bet is they lazily threw us in the BR regional due to location/past history. Doesn't change the fact that we will never get the respect we deserve until we win it all.

Dont think that would even help.... Look at the retribution they sent hawaii's way when they dared to take down bama
