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.

Yea you're right. I totally misread the info I was looking at. What I meant to say was if Saint Peters wins their double header on Tuesday, it would make our RPI jump up to #15. Only because Saint Peters is currently 0-4 and that record is being multiplied by a factor of 3 because we played them 3 times. Here is the exact quote from the poster who is the RPI guru on another board.

"A Saint Peter's doubleheader win over Albany on Tuesday would take the Cajuns' RPI where they are now (.55080) and move it to .61261 (excluding all other results) ... good for a #15 RPI ranking. Splitting the doubleheader would result in a Cajuns' RPI of .58173 (good for a #38 ranking).

A Saint Peter's doubleheader sweep Tuesday over Albany and a Cajun win over Houston would yield a Cajuns' RPI of .62099 (#11 ranking)."

The guy who posts about this stuff is a math guru and keeps all of the calculations in a spreadsheet and has even corrected Warren Nolan's calculations in the past and Warren Nolan fixed it on his site afterwards. He's the same as Boyd's World or Warren Nolan, he just doesn't have a website like they do.
