BB Final: Louisiana 7, Southern 5

[CrazyCajun]

Y'all probably right... I'm just looking at it from the standpoint of most of the non-conference games for the season being done, with only mid-weeks left for most teams. Conference games won't affect conference ranking.

But those games still affect your rpi every time they play, it’s way too early for accurate assessment on rpi, especially as a conference. As far as midweeks, The conference is in the footprint of the SEC/ACC. A lot of really great midweeks played in this conference.

Deggs postgame guy sounds defeated just disgusted long year boys

Don’t say this often about a win, but…flush it and move on. 4 errors. 12 free passes. Southern was just worse. 17 free passes given up by the Jags. Bad baseball. Much better team coming to town tomorrow, and then it’s back to the Top 25 grind this weekend. We don’t win any of the next 4 playing like we did tonight. Flush it.

I’m just being funny, but if you’re wondering why this game was not on tv, look at that box score. My goodness it’s about as ugly as it gets. We gave up 12 free bases, Southern 17!

The first 5-6 guys we rolled out there on the mound were ineffective. Brought some of our best to close out that one. Hitting outside of Stelly was brutal. 4 errors on the Cajuns.

Moving on, I suppose.

Of course those games affect individual team RPI, but the net effect on the conference, for every conference in every conference game is one win and one loss. Conference RPI is based on non-conference games only.

Not how that works.

Not how that works.

Then how? How does a conference game withIN a conference impact ranking vs. any other conference? Conference gets one win and one loss for every conference game - just like every other conference. How does that .50 winning percentage for the conference as a whole (for conference games) impact ranking vs. any other conference? Doesn't seem like it should and I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

Because this isn’t based strictly on winning percentage, and not all wins and losses are equal. It would take someone much smarter than me to explain it. I don’t start worrying about RPI until GG shows up.

Agree! Need Brian. But I'm pretty sure all conference games are an impact of zero on where they rank against other conferences. Doesn't make any sense that games within a conference would have any bearing on ranking versus other conference. I'm not talking about individual teams, I'm talking about conference as a whole. We'll will wait for Brian.

Geaux Cajuns!

The absolute worst college game I ever been to. Well at least top 5. Take the win though!

Good conferences bring up all RPI. Bad conferences peak in RPI during non conference. Perfect example is UTRGV. There is no way they end up anywhere close to that RPI. All Southland RPIs will fall from here and therefore, their conference RPI will fall.

Every non conference team played..by every team in the conference still has 40 games each left on their schedule to effect Their RPI and their opponents RPI. Throughout the season all of your opponents and their opponents affect your RPI…every time they play regardless of who it’s against. Which is why you can move up or down without playing.
