Winning at least 2 this weekend will definetly help. Cincinnati has taken first 2 from #10 ucf. Not getting any help from Arizona.

I wouldn't be surprised if our RPI is sub 100. I think it will probably end up in the 80's. Unless we go 19-3 the rest of the way with those losses coming to either Texas A&M, Florida, and LSU.

Just have a winning record in the conference and it's a good chance that we're in the tournament...

We need a couple wins in SECT. If we play like we are capable, we can win the rest of the series. Must win last 3 non conf.

I don't study rpi at all. If we go 3-3 against aTm and florida, how much of a boost should we expect?

Winning these first 2 games this weekend just makes me more pissed that we let the USA game get away from us after they handed us a 5 run lead. We are still going to have to win a number of these SEC series coming up against ranked teams to get our RPI into any kind of shape to have a chance at postseason.

In 2010, when we went 6-24 in the SEC, we finished with an RPI in the 70s. Yes, our non-conference was tougher that year, but it goes to show what playing in the SEC does for you. If we can get to .500 in the SEC, we'll be fine on the RPI.

Ouch. We need this sweep

With our upcoming schedule, we'll be good enough in the RPI department to make the tourney if we keep playing like this. A sweep tomorrow would be enormous. Win the series at A&M- and our RPI probably jumps 40-50 spots, IMO.

Need to get our RPI below 50 to have a good shot at post-season.

It has now dropped to 113. Will never understand the wild fluctuations with that formula.

Basically if you play good teams it'll be good. Doesn't matter if you get your ass beat.

Yep. If we don't make the tourney, cohen withdrawing from the minute maid tourney (I think that was it) was a huge mistake

Yep. I doubt that a team above .500 in conference play has ever missed the tourney. Can't verify that for sure but I would bet on it.

I'm more inclined to blame the dumbass coaching decisions that lost us all the games we've lost up till this point.

I understand that part of it. What's crazy to me is an 8 spot drop without us playing a game. Must have been either several teams we already played that lost after our game was over, or several teams on the schedules of teams in our same RPI vicinity that won late last night. Just impossible to predict how much or in what direction your RPI ranking will move until very late in the season.

I wish Warrennolan, etc., wouldn't even publish baseball RPIs until May. This early, they just don't mean anything. Several teams that made the tournament as at-large teams last year had triple-digit RPIs in early April. As the SEC goes on and we all keep playing each other, we keep raising all of our SOS / Opponent SOS ratings. We'll all climb in the RPI just by playing each other.
