Softball week 7 rpi - April 16

And the Farmer was on the committee from what I remember.

Personally I think he took his vow of silence too seriously. I get having to leave the room when considered but a good Ambassador would find many other opportunities.

Louisiana was 12th one year with the #1 out of conference RPI in the country . and didn't host.

While the RPI is all encompassing, they include enough other factors to create leeway, if needed.

What year was that?

No, the Cajuns hosted in 2012 . as a #14 national seed. They had a #12 RPI ranking and the #1 NC RPI ranking. That was the first year I worked closely with Coach Mike on the schedule.

If you remember, you may need to worry about your memory now.

[BeauCajun]

Just don’t drop the beer.

I'm sorry, what are we talking about? . . .

If enough quality non Preferred 5 conference members schedule like UL and Texas State did this year part of that bias will go away. Now, scheduling like that puts you in danger of being like UCF, Liberty and Texas State are this year: RPI much better than record, which creates another problem.

Our record vs top 25 is pretty weak. Definitely a two edged sword. You still need to win more games than we have.

It's still hard to figure that our only conference loss is to App State, who is 1-12 in conference play.

In the diamond sports more than any other, anyone
Can beat anyone on a given day

[RaginScotsman]

McNeese took down the East (rough day for those guys in diamond sports. Ouchy.) Does that help, hurt or is it a wash?

We went-
3-0 vs McNeese

1-1 vs East Basin.

I think those two split also.

It will only help us if McNeese can make it into the top 50 rpi and stay there. They started the day at 61, this will give them a tremendous boost.
