re: Where LSU stands compared to at-large tourney teams since 2008

There is a reason LSU's RPI is so low. They played a bad non-conf. schedule (SOS 200).

Agreed but some of that is luck of the draw. In many other years, NCstate and Marquette could have been bound for the Dance and not considered bad losses. Same for Wake Forest back in the day. Bottom line is the Tigers should have beaten those three teams as well as CoC and Houston. They were favored in all of those games. Had they taken care of business they'd be looking at a 7 or 8 seed lock right now and need zero wins in the SECT. Even with all those bad losses, just take care of 'Bama at home and either UT, Arky or USCe on the road and they'd be a lock. By far, CJJ's worst year of coaching.
