Smaller conference auto bids will be slotted in as 4 seeds based on RPI
right same reason you never see major conferences as a 13-16 seed in march madness. They have plenty of conferences whose auto bid winner is a team with a 100+ RPI. 4 seeds are pretty much reserved for bad conferences auto bid winners. If lsu makes the postseason they’ll have an RPI in the 30s at worst. If we’re on the bubble come selection day and get in we’d be a 3 seed. Same case for any at-large bubble team.

Some teams to pull for today:

Xavier over Kentucky - 2pm - Xavier is a top 30 RPI team that we have two wins over. A win would continue to boost our RPI. And also Kentucky's coach is a dickbag. - NEVERMIND, GAME IS CANCELLED

Stony Brook over Sacred Heart - 3pm - more wins for our opponents the better. Probably not a huge impact from this one, but still worth it to hope they win.

South Florida over Florida - 5:30pm - we want Florida to finish under .500.

ULL vs Jackson St - pray for rain. We need ULL to get their RPI up a little bit and this game won't help.

Auburn over Georgia Tech - 6pm - Probably not a huge RPI help, but a league prestige boost and a knock on an ACC team competing for a post season bid.

Nicholls over Houston - 6:30pm - Houston kind of sucks, but they are a Big 12 team now. And we have a win over Nicholls.

UC-Irvine over UCLA - 8pm - no impact this year, but UCLA is having a terrible year and is about to frick over their student athletes by moving to the Big Ten and I want one of their infielders to transfer to LSU.

ETA: Xavier getting a win over Kentucky could push them toward being Q1 wins for us. Xavier and South Florida are the two teams that could help us the most today.

ETAA: Welp, Kentucky and Xavier is cancelled due to impending weather. Vandy and Louisville probably also about to be cancelled.
