ULL rpi 67
Record 11-6
Top 15?
Don't get it....
It's because our RPI was so negatively affected by sweeping a 3 game series vs. Saint Peters. After we play Houston on Tuesday, and if we win, the calculation shows our RPI ranking to be around #15 by Wednesday. It just goes to show you that you can't put much stock into RPI in the first third of the season. It doesn't mean anything until the second half of the season.
And to answer your question, the Cajuns are ranked because of our pitching staff and more specifically our weekend rotation. Pitching carries us every year, and this year is no different.
Team Pitching Stats to date:
ERA 2.93 (#26 Nationally)
Record 11-6
Shutouts 5 (#5 Nationally)
Saves 7
Innings Pitched 159.2
Strikeouts 192 (#4 Nationally)
Opponents Batting Avg .189
WHIP 1.01 (#4 Nationally)
Ultimately, pitching and defense has us ranked, and offense is lagging behind.

no way Lafayette gets a 52 spot bump for one midweek game, regardless of who you play. I'm not sure where you're seeing that calculation, but that's not going to happen.
