Thread: This is where the Cajuns find themselves ...

  1. UL Baseball This is where the Cajuns find themselves ...

    The below assumes that ...

    1) St. John's will steal the Big East auto bid
    2) Troy will steal the Sun Belt auto bid
    3) Western Carolina will steal the Southern Conference auto bid
    4) Hawaii will steal the WAC auto bid

    I have 25 schools listed below battling for the final 10 at-large spots into the field of 64 (meaning I have 24 at-large bids locked into place). To get a sense of where the Cajuns will fall, eliminate 15 of the following 25 schools. You then have your field (including the last 10 into the tournament).

    Note that for each case where the above four bid stealing scenarios does not occur, you can subtract one school from the 15 you are attempting to eliminate. The only caveat here is that you cannot pull back a bid for #4 not happening above (Hawaii losing to Fresno State in the WAC Tournament Final) and eliminate Fresno State from the group of 25 below (one of Hawaii or Fresno State will be in the field of 64).

    Likewise, you cannot pull back a bid for #2 above and also eliminate Florida International.

    Ex. #1, #2, and #3 do not happen above. You then need only eliminate 12 of the below 25 schools.

    Here are your 25 schools ...

    Louisiana
    Florida International
    Western Kentucky
    Wichita State
    Boston College
    Liberty
    Texas State
    Northwestern State
    Southeastern Louisiana
    Elon
    Kentucky
    Tennessee
    California
    Oregon
    Oregon State
    Arizona
    New Mexico
    UC Irvine
    Kansas State
    Pittsburgh
    Rutgers
    Florida Gulf Coast
    North Carolina State
    North Carolina
    Fresno State

    Have Fun!

    Compare the resumes of Wichita State, New Mexico, UC Irvine, NC State, Kansas State, and Elon with the Cajuns.

    The others are close ... I could see the selection committee having Kentucky (though they should not), Oregon, North Carolina (though they should not), and Oregon State in before the Cajuns.

    The purpose of this exercise is for folks that do not think or are concerned that the Cajuns will not get a bid. So, if that is the case, show me the ten schools that make the field before the Cajuns.

    The result of this simple exercise (I did all of the hard work) should result in some measure of relief.

    ... and prepare Cajun fans with intelligent ammunition should the selection committee have a brain fart and screw up.
