I am guessing we need to handle LSU and GA State to be taken seriously for at large.
It's probably more about avoiding bad losses than getting many more quality wins. At 20-15, the Cajuns need to beat Appalachian State (road), UTA (home), Little Rock (home), Rice (2/road), Nicholls (home) and Texas State (road) more than they need to beat LSU (road) and Georgia State (road).
The selection committee does not use the polls in their deliberations for at large bids. Texas State is fifth in the rpi rankings in the conference behind the Cajuns, South Alabama and Georgia State, whom they have not played, and Georgia Southern, to whom they lost 2 of 3. I did include Texas State in the list of teams that it is more important to beat than Georgia State or LSU.
First, The selection committee uses whatever they want. If you are on the bubble (which we would be) they absolutely start comparing resumes. If we want in, we better beat Texas State on the road, if we want to win the division, we better beat texas state on the road, if we want to win the conference, we better beat Texas state on the road. They are currently 53 and we are 52, they will at least be Quad 2 and quite possibly Quad 1 by the time we play them.
