If the SBC conference is still the #4 conference in RPI at end of season and We win every series from here on out and win the SBC regular and conf tournament.
How can we not host?

East Carolina and DBU both currently would host before us and neither are in a top 5 conference.
Good point about currently.
Going forward won't their conferences drag them down a bit?
The optimistic scenario of "still #4 conference" coupled with "We win every series" and top it off with "win the SBC regular and conf tournament" would only have Louisiana climbing.
At tall order to be sure.
I agree we should host if we win the regular season and conf tourney. I’m sure our rpi would climb substantially. But if it’s not top 20 the committee won’t even sniff at us.
back to the committee
This will be the primary reason why the Cajuns will not host a regional.
There are a lot of games left to be played and any of a number of things can happen, but if all of you will look at the teams currently in the top 20 rpi, ask yourself, How many of these teams can the Cajuns realistically pass to get into the top 16? The remainder of the Cajun schedule is conducive to SOS and Adjusted RPI ranking improvement, as they have games against teams currently in Quad 1 (6), Quad 2 (6), Quad 3 (4), and Quad 4 (6). It's going to be a long climb to get to where you want them to be, but, it's baseball, stranger things have happened.
Irrelevant. It is about your resume ... not the conference resume.
Also, as far as Conference RPI ranking is concerned, there is a chasm between the #4 conference and the Top 3 ... especially the Top 2. Meanwhile, 4 -> 7 is close. There are a number of host worthy resumes in the Top 2.
