BB G3 Final: Louisiana 9, Georgia State 2

Do you really think that Babb gets that far into the weeds through a crystal ball as to what teams will look like with a totally different roster when he makes the schedule?

Is that what you think I said?

What I meant to say was it would be fun to read (not compile) the projected RPI of future schedules (even if unfinished) to guage how much fluctuation there is down the road.

LOL.

You think it’s funny this baw is encroaching on my fishing hole? Baws have been shot for that around these parts.

I think have to take a second to recognize what UL is accomplishing. As Brian said, Cajuns did not have a schedule that could get them a host site. And honestly they probably had to win the league to get in period.

It’s nice to see they are in a conference whose reg season championship means something to the NCAA committee. Similar in softball now too.

Definitely not the case in basketball. As seen with James Madison, they basically flew through their reg season and were on the outside looking in had they not won the tournament.

We played both LSU and Vandy in Houston. Those were supposed to be huge resume building games if we could steal a win. Well we lost both, and both teams have fallen greatly this season from their expectations.

Had those two had a normal season for their programs, and we happened to steal on, along with maybe sweeping Tulane (who appears to be having an off season as well), and won the series vs Coastal or Troy, it might be a resume to put us in the running to host. But none of that happened.

However, I think if you look at the schedule, and what was expected of some of those teams on it, the chance to host was there if we were to take care of business.

I would assume adding USM to the Belt threw a wrench in our OOC scheduling, as they were a frequent midweek opponent we could count on being fairly strong for years. Couple this with having two midweek drivable opponents (Rice and Tulane) as weekend series opponents, and maybe that’s how we ended up with 4 SWAC schools and a lower level Southland on the schedule this year? Seems like if we were to go a little further out for weekends or bring teams in from farther we could get Rice and Tulane back during the weeks and possibly be more selective with the SWAC and SLC programs we bring in.
