Cajun Softball RPI ...

Thanks for all the great information Brian. Makes me more confident Cajuns will host.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Cajuns get a #13 seed matched up w/ #4 TSAB. When they lose their regional again, we'll have Supers in Lafayette!

Thank you for the comment, you are welcome.

The Cajuns do finish ahead of Oklahoma State in a tight one … grabbing the #11 RPI ranking at selection time.

The Cajuns also finished with the #4 SOS and #1 NC SOS … passing #18 Baylor’s #5 SOS.

Curiosity’s sake, with a W yesterday, where would we have finished?

These are impressive numbers for the Cajuns. So what will be the reasons we either don’t host or host as 16 maybe 15 seed?

I’m sure the goal post is moving as we speak.

#9, right on top of Tennessee at #8.

I think the Cajuns will be a national seed/host, likely as a #14/#15. #13 is possible ... but record against RPI Top 25 and 50 would be the reason they do not get their RPI ranking as a seed.

I am also a bit concerned that Texas A&M will be overweighted by the committee due to conference finish ... even though (as I outlined in a prior post) that their third place finish in the SEC was due to the Aggies avoiding the better teams in the SEC (Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, and Georgia) ... while being swept by Florida and LSU. Their best SEC wins were against T6th Mississippi State and 9th Alabama.

For the record, I said that we were not hosting last year due to not meeting the selection committee's criteria for a national seed/host. We were not screwed ... we did not have the resume. We do have the resume this year. I would only get concerned if we see Baylor as a national seed/host (obviously Mississippi State, but I do not think they reach that far down), but even in this situation I think the Cajuns eval better than others that are in the RPI Top 16.
