I'd love for the AAC and Navy to do a 'scheduling arrangement' for non-football sports...

Must almost have to win out from this point. Our RPI jumped to 57 which is 7th in our conference. We are in a three way(and not the fun kind) tie for third. No way we get 5 teams in.
Can you imagine that 2/3rd of Cincinnati's conference wins have been against the Tigers and half of our conference losses are against Cincinnati.

RE: Baseball Bracketology / Memphis in
The following quote, taken from an ESPN article last year, suggests that there are other factors besides RPI which matter, such as placing second in your conference. Seems to me that winning most of our following games and doing well in the tournament still gives us a good chance.
What does it take to earn an at-large selection to the tournament? The selection committee has a set of guidelines that are incorporated into these projections:
• The team must have a winning record.
That eliminates teams such as Stanford, Long Beach State and Georgia, which have solid résumés but are currently under .500.
• Once a school passes that hurdle, it will be placed into the selection pool if it meets one of three criteria: an RPI in the top 75, a top-two finish in its conference or recommendation by the regional advisory committee.
Unless saved by the regional advisory committee, that eliminates some big names from consideration this season. Defending champion UCLA and Oklahoma are both down in their respective conference standings and outside the top 75 in RPI. Seton Hall has a gaudy 31-9 record but is fourth in the Big East and outside the RPI top 100.
For this projection, more of an emphasis was placed on how teams did when playing good teams as opposed to the overall RPI numbers.
We HAVE done well playing against good teams. If we continue "fighting like Tigers" great things can still happen this year. Omaha or Bust!!

Sounds good. Win 2/3 in Orlando and things look good.

Only being 1 game back and with series wins over both teams in front of us, I'd say we still have a fairly good chance to win the regular season. We really need to sweep one of these last two series.
