Those are regional hosting worthy numbers.

Still can't wrap my brain around the RPI thingy. Before tonight's win the Cajun's RPI had crept lower and lower and was sitting at 26, then BAM, 15.

Those SEC teams you played are starting to play each other.

No. That will hurt the Cajuns' RPI (as they beat up on each other) ... but it will help the SEC teams playing each other. Unless LSU and Alabama went on tears in the SEC. The Cajuns' OWP is the W/L record of LSU and Alabama. But LSU and Alabama's OWP is the W/L record of their opponents (including that lofty SEC schedule that is a boon for their RPIs).

You are right. I forgot that no one ever dominates the SEC. You can count on even their best teams taking 8-9 losses at least in league play.

The Cajuns issue is going to be SBC Play. Obviously if you go on a crazy run, go 28-2 in league...you'll probably stand a good shot at the National seed, but one slip up in league play could kill you.

The weakness comes in with SOS...you've got a bad loss to EIU to open the season already against you. Attrition leads most to believe you probably wont go 30-0 in the SBC. Who will those losses be against? If you have a bad day and lose to a bottom tier SBC team, it could single handedly destroy your Super Regional host chances.

I think you guys will probably be good either way for a top 16 barring an unforeseen collapse, which at least keeps you away from LSU for a weekend, and gives you a chance at hosting should a National Seed be upset...which happens fairly often.
