Single fact fans unite.
The Committee suffers the same deer in the headlights single focus syndrome every year.
No matter how much the facts favor Louisiana and the fact that RPI takes EVERY fact into consideration. The committee annually suffers from SECradation (degradation) of any non SEC school.
Turbine, RPI does not take every fact into consideration. RPI is a very poor measuring stick, but we are still stuck with it. I have explained ad nauseum over the years how you can game the RPI system to manufacture a very high RPI rank. You can manufacture a high ranking (optimizing your schedule) even without beating a single Top 25 team. In this situation, you are overrated relative to your RPI ranking. This is why you simply cannot make seeding decisions on RPI alone.

Optimization of one's schedule does not make the entire season invalid.
You cannot manufacture a high RPI by playing a weak schedule, that would not be an optimized schedule.
RPI takes the entire schedule into consideration, and if enough dominance exists in an optimized overall solid schedule and it propels you into a top-16 RPI, it should not be ignored.
