My friends, as I type the RPI of Louisiana Softball is 15; we are currently 18-9, which on the face of it might look troublesome, but our SOS this year is in single digits, currently at 6. Add in the 5 remaining non conference games vs top 100 RPI programs, and an astounding 18 conference games against top 100 teams. Of those 23 games, 9 are against top 50 teams. The SBC has become the SEC light, in terms of building RPI by playing in conference. Even better, The worst in conference RPI we play [JMU] is currently at 151 and will be a more favorable number than that by year end.
I, like everyone else, am unhappy with our 2-9 record vs top 25 teams... but that 16-0 record vs everyone else is pretty gaudy, particularly the 9-0 vs 26-100. AND, only 2 of the remaining games are against RPI 1-25, though Texas State may get there before we play them.
The sky is not falling here.
