uh no. it was a MAJOR problem in jan. we won 13 of 19 and still didn't crack the top 60. bro, that's stupendous


It was not a major problem in January simply because we had time and opportunities in front of us. Since the Kentucky game we have not cashed in on any of the major RPI boosting opportunities, @A&M, @Florida, vs. OU, @USCe and vs. Bama. We have won some games that have helped but not the major boost games. But yet our RPI still climbed.

Also as of today it is not a major problem because we are still sitting on the bubble despite a low RPI.

Our RPI is currently a minor problem because it can only top out low 60s high 50s now assuming we essentially win out. We will not end up an RPI top 50 team. That is our problem.

like i said, lsu all but went undefeated and didn't even crack the top 60. 13 of 19 is stout in a power 5 conference. it ought to be obvious that is a major problem. what i said back then basically happened exactly the way i said it would. barring going undefeated, which wasn't going to happen, i questioned whether lsu had enough chances to improve the rpi enough to get in. well, here we are.

you're making my point for me.

as i said before, the lowest ever at large rpi was 67. being at 82 with 4 games left against some bad teams, it won't be easy for the committee to justify lsu being even lower than that. it's a major problem.
