I can see the Cajuns getting an large still with the legit out of conference schedule this year, but we have to win those out of conference series.

The out of conference schedule is definitely string enough to garner consideration for an at large bid IF you have success in those non conference games AND do well within your league. Jay mentioned the Big 10 now getting more bids. Just wait until the start of the season is pushed back. That will happen eventually and make it tougher for the mid major leagues. Still, that would be good for the game as it would make it more of a national game.
I call the "Out of Conference" schedule the "Independant" schedule.
The indelendant portion of the schedule is where a team can make a name for itself nationally.
Jay, this is a bit off topic, but not really. I am of the opinion that the sports most likely to be impacted by the NIL are high profile non-headcount sports like Baseball and Softball.
Big money schools who take those sports seriously can now make those sports essentially headcount sports by giving every rostered player some combination of scholarship money and NIL money equivalent to a full scholarship. If that happens, schools like UL will quickly become non-competitive unless we can come up with revenue sources to match the efforts of the schools with virtually unlimited funds available.
