    Just can't have these SWAC games. They're killers. SLC games instead would have made more sense.

    . . . isn’t UNO the only SLC team we are missing that could come, play and go home same day . . .

    Houston Christian 256
    Jackson State 261

    I sure hope there is a lot of improvement from those teams because if not, that leaves very little margin for error for the good guys.
    Yearly reminder (not from Brian) that you can't look at their ranking when it comes to our RPI. You need to consider the opponent's W-L record.

    Grambling, Southern, and Jackson State finished a combined 6 games under .500 in 2023, so not exactly RPI killers from an RPI standpoint, although you are insinuating as such by just posting their final ranking. PVA&M was 19 games under .500, so we'll need to handle our business against them.

    If every OOC team has the same record as 2023 in 2024, then Rice does more damage to our RPI calculation than Grambling, Southern and Jackson State. I would have removed Houston Christian and PVA&M from the schedule and added another game against those 3 SWAC schools if given the option.

    Who would you add that would make a difference from an RPI calculation stand point? UNO would be a good choice. Lamar is still never going to come back here. All the other drivable schools for a midweek game are already on the schedule.

    Jackson State and Texas Southern in recent years. And softball also plays almost every single SLC program just like baseball.

    SBC Baseball had an RPI of 6th last season. Seven teams finished in the TOP 100 in RPI, the 8th was 104. Losses at Marshall and South Alabama killed our RPI late in the season. In general half the SBC programs are good. I have no problem with the way we scheduled for 2024.

    SBC Softball had 4 teams in the Top 100 RPI. Playing on the road against strong RPI programs makes sense considering how the Cajuns were treated in hosting. I have no problem with the schedule either.
