BB Final: Louisiana 8, Tech 12

[Cajunsmike]

We still have not won a weekend series against a team with a winning record, with just six games left. Our record is a little deceiving. We have won a lot of games against bad teams. Our strength of schedule is 84, per Warren Nolan

We also went 1 and 4 in mid week road games. Only one we won was against LSU. I think we played too many home mid week games against average teams to help the RPI. Granted, the revenue helps and kids spend less time out of the classroom. Those are tradeoffs to the RPI impact.

We have to play somebody. Playing crummy teams within 4 hours drive is what you get sometimes. We underperformed in midweek games and that has been a pattern for a long time.

Many believe 40 is the magic number. Get there and you are in. This schedule was set up for that to be largely achievable. Some major slip ups caused us to miss it. Win series against JMU and App St. Win a couple of those midweek games and don't give away a couple leads late and no one is talking about how we scheduled.

Edit: I also think this conference is transitioning to a level that doesn't require 40 for an at large. Just not there yet.

This thread shows that one can tell whatever story he wants with statistics and that another can almost tell an equally convincing but opposite story with the same statistics and a few other facts.

[CajunVic]

Let’s be completely honest. Look at this schedule objectively 2 years ago and tell us who you would have excluded from the schedule. In fairness because we do not know what may have been available then, one series in that group must be excluded and 2 midweek games excluded because those probably had an in state travel limitation.

The push for the Big 10 to get more bids will come from our conferences, they wont take any away from Sec, Acc or big 12
