Tulane isn't hurting us. You would like to win that series, but they have an RPI of 54. Long Beach is killing us, but that loss to a Northern Kentucky team that has an RPI of 228 is really messing with us.
Good thing is we end our conference slate with the #12 RPI in Florida, @#19 RPI TAMU, and #1 Tennessee. Go 5-4 in that stretch and we are probably a guarantee to be in as long as we take 1 more from Missouri.
