That RPI boost is the benefit of playing Bama twice and LSU twice. UL is 1-4 against teams in Top 100 RPI. The lone Top 100 win was against Portland State (51, go figure). The Cajuns SOS is ranked 81 with a non conference SOS rank of 82. They have 6 games coming up against teams with a current Top 40 RPI (Texas (30) and Texas State (38)). They are going to keep benefitting RPI wise in a small part from Bama and LSU from both of their SEC schedules. Troy currently has an RPI of 65 and ULM 99. The rest of the Sun Belt has an RPI in the mid to high 100's with Ga. Southern currently having an RPI of 270 (ouch). The Cajuns need to sweep Texas and then have them go on a tear in the Big 12 to help give their RPI a boost. LSU and Bama play each other this weekend to start SEC play.
