I looked at the schedules of the bottom eight to get a picture of who has the easiest/hardest schedule for making the 8-team CUSA tournament field. The bottom four teams at the end of the season will be left out.
Consider how many series that remain in these last five weekends are with the current top four teams: USM, FAU, ODU & Charlotte:
3 - UTSA (FAU, @Charlotte, USM)
_ - UAB (Charlotte, ODU, @USM)
2 - FIU (@FAU, @ ODU)
_ - Middle Tennessee (@Charlotte, USM)
_ - Marshall (@ODU, Charlotte)
1 - Rice (@Charlotte)
_ - WKU (FAU)
0 - Louisiana Tech
By this admittedly crude measure, one might anticipate UTSA and UAB ending up below the line ... and if Rice doesn't win its home series with MidTenn and WK doesn't do the same @Marshall, then they will also likely be cut.
