Like Deggs or not, this is Deggs’ program. How UL got there does not matter. The new bar, and Deggs’ personal bar, has been set.

RPI....I would make road wins more valuable. Lower home win value. Currently it's 1.3 for a Away win and 0.7 for Home win. Neutral site being 1.0. I'd make this to 1.4 and 0.6.....slightly neutralize the advantage the teams with home heavy schedules have. Force them to play a handful more away or neutral site games or stay home heavy but drop some in RPI.

I like it so far. Fast teams with some legit power and excellent defense are fun to watch. What's not to like? Pitching you say? Pitching usually regresses during the season as offenses and weather warm up.

Our pitching got better toward the end. The first 20 games of the season was full of cupcake teams and we gave up 90 runs. The last 20 games including yesterday we gave up 86 runs with very few cupcakes served up, with the exception of 3 ULM games. 5-0 against TX State and 3-3 against Coastal is not bad. We flat wore TX State out and probably kept them out of an at large.

I saw real progress running the pitching staff.

Degg’s style will never change. It just won’t. So we’ll have the same people on here next season screaming to fire him after we lose to a Tech or Nichols or Northwesten in a midweek game. Second year in a row in a regional. Smoke that for a while.

glad to eat some crow, bs.

Does anyone have a video or link to the team reaction when announced?

Brian,

One would be just to run a statistical regression of every possible factor, and how teams/conferences fared in the last 4 or 5 tournaments.

1) That will tease out the best predictors.
2) It will change every year.
3) And where it is predictable, go back to 1).

This would be lipstick on the pig and not a good idea. It does not address the principal flaw ... that it does a very poor job of measuring SOS.

I understand you are not in favor of this tweak. However would it be an improvement of the current system, even if marginally so?
