We'll drop 5 spots if we sweep App and UTA, but if we win the series vs TX State we'll be in the 30's

That is some pretty impressive math.

Gross. Zero margin for error.

On the plus side, dare I say we are peaking at the right time?

Two CG’s (one abbreviated) with a combined 4 runs given up and what, 4 walks in three games? Tony is smiling for sure.

This weekend was the first time we looked like a regional team

Brian,

How bad will App State hurt us next weekend?

The Cajuns' RPI sits at .5706, currently ranked #44.

Winning 2/3 at App State would yield a modest RPI decline to .5669 at the present time (holding everything else constant). Of course, as records change this week, there will be movement in the Cajuns' RPI, even though they do not play until Friday. An RPI of .5669 would currently be good for a ranking of #48.

Winning 3/3 at App State (not expecting this) would presently result in an RPI increase to .5729, good for a ranking of #40.

But remember, the Cajuns' RPI also depends on how their opponents perform and somewhat how their opponent's opponents perform. Meanwhile, ranking also depends on how the teams ranked around them perform.

Sweeping App State will provide us a decent bump. Sweeping UTA will still be damaging. Sweeping both would yield a modest drop in RPI from .5706 to .5677, which would presently be good for #47 in the RPI rankings (dropping three spots).

Yup, thank you sir.
