Adjusted RPI (4/6)

_ I know I should let it go but I just cant. How big of a difference would that first game against southern miss with the blown call to end it have made if we would have taken both of those games?

Assuming the Cajuns would have gone on to win that game (after being tied with two outs in T9th) ... it would have been rather significant.

In terms of RPI, the Cajuns would have qualified for an additional .0024 bonus. Additionally, the Cajuns' WP would have risen from .6071 to .6429. This would mean a Base RPI of the following ...

(.6429 + (2*.5231) + .5211)/4 = .5526

This is compared to a Base RPI of .5436 (with the loss)

Add in the additional RPI bonus and you have an Adjusted RPI of .5622.

So, the difference (after Tuesday's results) would have been an Adjusted RPI of .5622 vs. .5508. This would have placed the Cajuns at #49 after Tuesday, instead of #59.

I cannot tell where we would be today until I get the new Adjusted RPI details through Wednesday's games. But we would have a nice jump in the Adjusted RPI (maybe about .0030 -> .0035). This would put us, at minimum, at #48 and possibly as high as #46 or #47.

Now that we have the numbers from 4/7, we can say that a sweep of USM would have resulted in the following through last night's games ...

Base RPI .5564 ... good for #51 (vs. the actual .5475 good for #58) ... Duke also has a .5564, but the Cajuns would have been exactly .00003 ahead of the Blue Devils.

Adjusted RPI .5630 ... good for #48 (vs. the actual .5541 good for #54)
