Future Schedule Impact (through games of 4/26)

[GoneGolfin]

Through games of Friday 4/26, the Cajuns currently sit at an RPI of .55932, good for an RPI ranking of 50.

Winning 2/3 vs. USM would yield an RPI of .55831, presently good for an RPI ranking of 51 (all other things being equal). This RPI ranking, along with a Sun Belt regular season title, would be good enough for an at-large bid.

Sweeping USM would yield an RPI of .56497, presently good for an RPI ranking of 43 (all other things being equal).

Winning 2/3 of every remaining conference series plus a home win over Jackson State (40-16 record entering the Sun Belt Tournament) would yield an RPI of .56735 (road wins really help), presently good for an RPI ranking of 40.

Heard them talking about KPI in the Florida game earlier. New metric to use to justify who they want in?

Now that we are through the weekend, here is the schedule impact through the Troy series. Through games of Sunday 4/28, the Cajuns currently sit at an RPI of .55787, good for an RPI ranking of 51.

Winning 2/3 vs. Troy would yield an RPI of .56503, presently good for an RPI ranking of 45 (all other things being equal) ... right on top of Louisiana Tech.

Winning 1/3 vs. Troy would increase their RPI modestly to .56000, presently good for an RPI ranking of 49 (all other things being equal) ... right on top of UNCW at 48.

Sweeping Troy would yield an RPI of .56993, presently good for an RPI ranking of 40 (all other things being equal) ... not far from Maryland at 39.

Winning 2/3 of every remaining conference series plus a home win over Jackson State (40-16 record entering the Sun Belt Tournament) would yield an RPI of .56786 (road wins really help), presently good for an RPI ranking of 40.

Should Deggs consider canceling the Jackson St. midweek? I think I remember someone in here saying Ole Miss canceled a couple midweeks towards the end of the season they were the last 4 in and won the CWS?

No, the Jackson State game will help modestly, provided the Cajuns win. If the Cajuns need the game to stay sharp, keep it. It is less about RPI rank than you think.

Not playing (and beating) Jackson State would result in the Cajuns dropping two RPI ranking spots in my example above ... to 42 ... right on top of LSU at 43.

Cajuns fall just 1 spot in the D1Baseball poll. From 17 to 18

Coastal drops completely out of the poll (from #13) after their 0-5 week

Of teams outside of the SEC and ACC, only #5 E. Carolina, #6 Oregon St, and #9 UC-Irvine are ranked ahead of UL
