The only downside to Tulane losing is that it will affect our RPI. The teams in the 45 -> low 50's are very tightly packed. A ranking spot could come down to .0001 or .0002. We are basically tied with #46 Arizona (less than .0001 separation). #51 UC Irvine is a mere .0018 behind the Cajuns. #52 Mississippi State is only .0022 back. Not that the Bulldogs are a thread to be selected to the field ... but the Cajuns want as high of an RPI ranking as possible.
