Final Regular Season RPI

[LifeTimeCajun]

This is as close as ive followed the at large bids in a few years. Probably cause this is the first time we are in contention in a few years. The only thing that i hope the committee does is stay true throughout the whole process. Dont make an exception for this team or that team. stay consistant

[Rebel02]

We will get in before WKU based on conference finish (UL 1st, WKU 6th) and that we beat them 2-1 during the season. WKU also went 2 and bbq in the tournament.

We all seem to agree that the SBC is not a 4 bid league this year, correct? So seeing as FIU has to be taken now, why would the selection committee select us over WKU? I have a bad feeling...the same one I had for the softball Super Regional this weekend...that we might get shafted again. If this happens, I along with many others will be ____ed! I think WKU should be in too.

Brian

These RPI's are as of tonight?

[J-Town Cajun]

It was pretty close a few years ago in 2007 when the Cajuns were a possible #1 seed. We were a RPI #14 and got sent to Tex A&M as a 2 seed.

I may not get much sleep tonight. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for Brian's projections.

_ I may not get much sleep tonight. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for Brian's projections. _

OK, I am close. Double-checking now and typing up soon (on Ragin' Pagin).

I have the Cajuns as the 5th to last team in ... but the resumes between the last seven or eight teams in are not far apart from the first team out.

Brian

[raginsaints]

That doesn't comfort me much.

[raginsaints]

I noticed rivals and baseball america have the Cajuns and neither list them on their last teams in list.

[GoneGolfin]

_ Spoke with a guy at Baseball America today. He said the Cajuns are in. He doesn't make the final decision - the selection committee does - but I think the Cajuns are in, too. Brian has pointed out why they should be in.

Otherwise, thank you for your updates, Brian. My apologies for the other day. It was a long weekend, and I didn't help that situation with my original reaction.

Thanks again.

No need to apologize. I should have waited to respond. If we end up traveling to a regional, let's get a beer ... and make Jay buy.

Brian

Yes ... this the final version the committee uses for its selections (through the regular season). Hopefully they already slotted the Cajuns Sunday morning when they had an RPI rank of 42.
