You are correct. The effect will be gradual. I think we played St. Peter at the end of the season and they killed our RPI all at once. The effect of stAte's RPI will hurt a little more every week. RPI only matters after the last game,

It was early in the season (games vs. St. Peter's). It just felt late in the season because we were feeling it all season (and discussing it). It was devastating because they contributed a big fat .0000 X 3 to the Cajuns' OWP. It was enough to drop the Cajuns double-digit spots in the final RPI rankings (vs. never having played them).

Actually, ASU's impact on the Cajuns' RPI will be lessened each week as their OWP and OOWP contribution is diluted (assuming they keep roughly the same winning %). Similar to what happened with St. Peter's. It was devastating early because the OWP contribution was incorporated into fewer games played. So, even though the OWP contribution was still .0000 at the end of the season (stunning), it was diluted somewhat compared to earlier in the season. But a .0000 OWP contribution at any point of the season is still quite hurtful.

The ASU impact on RPI is significantly better than the St. Peter's situation. But still not good.

It was the opposite. We played them in early March before conference started. It killed our rpi all at once and at the end of the season lol

Thank you. Yes. They came south early.

Thanks Brian. Maybe it won't be so bad. I still have a problem with Peacocks.

the dog looks more interested in the game than most of the fans

My black lab's absolute favorite thing to do is play ball. She is so into playing ball (fetching the baseball) that she also enjoys watches the pitches delivered in a baseball game on TV. She tracks the pitches and gets quite excited.
