Damn. That seems like it would have made a huge difference in the seeding we will end up getting. I understand that we didn’t have the resume last year to host. I remember wondering how the coaches could have gotten their expectations so wrong last year.
Obviously you know way more than I ever will about this RPI thing, but I still say the committee will use any metric they can to justify not seeding the Cajuns anywhere near their RPI rank. I will be pleasantly surprised if we see anything lower (as in real number) than a 15 seed.
