    I'm guessing the loss to UTA didn't help.

    It probably hurt big time. Plus, the 2 wins weren't impressive at all.

    That's my point. There are occasions where you beat a team with a bad RPI and your's drop. To think beating the bottom feeders of our conference will boost our RPI is foolish.

    Taking off the vermilion colored glasses, we aren't what we think we are this year. We need to see this play out, but I'm not optimistic. At the end of the day, we are not a P-5 and the P5s would love to see us go away. Don't give them the excuse.

    The same things going to happen to all those non P5 schools in the rankings but to a much larger degree once they start their conference schedules.

    And the P5s all move up because they’re playing each other. Can’t polish this t.u.r.d away. Outside of dominating Alabama, nothing moves UL up. Heck we’re THIRD in the SBC RPI. That’s who we are.

    Glasco did say on the most recent podcast that all of the mistakes so far, including lackluster play at UTA is on him and he's finally gonna make adjustments. Im interested to see what that means or if its just fluff. I think he's a great coach, so let's see.

    No fluff from Coach Glasco and he makes no excuses. Expect soon to see a more stabile lineup.

    There are three UL opponents to come with an RPI in the top 50. And,, I'm talking conference play. If we win, the RPI will improve. To suggest our schedule in the SBC will bring down our RPI is fallacy.

    The "good records" of the conference counterbalance the "bad records." UTA is the only team with a "horrible" record (4-18), while there are 4 other losing records (Georgia Southern, Georgia State, ULM and Coastal Carolina). What these teams do the rest of the way will determine how harmful they will be to Texas State, Troy, South Alabama and the Cajuns. Their records can count 3 times towards 50% of the rpi score (OWP). What's good is that these losing records are not as bad as they have been the last 4 seasons, that's why the SBC is currently the 7th rated rpi conference.

    I think conference games exaggerate the RPI as you typically play them three times, so individually count three times as the opponents winning percentage (OWP), but also those teams count multiple times in your opponents opponents winning percentage (OOWP) as well. Thankfully this applies to all the other conferences as well as there are a number in the top 50 whose conference games will drastically affect their RPI's as the season goes on as well.
