Softball week 2 rpi - March 12

Visiting with Coach last night, he said CCU's RPI strength was based on their record as they have played a pretty weak schedule. He expects that to drop now that they'll have to play more quality opponents. But overall, he's happy with what the SBC is doing and also touted the remainder of the non conference schedule as games that will help RPI.

But if we're gonna stay where we are, we're gonna have to win 90% of what's left.

With 29 regular season games plus 3 in the conference tournament, that would be going 29-3 the rest of the way. Depending on the losses, that may be accurate. Lots of factors involved, but with games played so far against 8 of the top 25 rpi, and those likely to remain there throughout the season, OWP and OOWP is going to be very strong.

Speaking of Marshall, they have a horrendous SOS [248]. We don't play them, Georgia State [203 SOS] and Georgia Southern [93 SOS]. For all three of those teams, we need them to lose every conference game against teams we DO play.

Our worst loss to date is Michigan [RPI 21]. We have remaining games against Texas A&M [22], Baylor [24] and Texas State x3 [29]. Everyone else is RPI 47 or worse. 29-3 should be doable.
