quote:what i said was accurate. lsu's sos is not great and it's one thing dragging down the rpi. there's only 1 more marquee team left. the rest are mediocre other than ark (probably another loss) meaning - lsu can't afford losses to these mediocre teams like a&m.
Thats obviously not true

That's if none of the other teams with them/above them have any losses as well which is about as likely as winning the lottery. At 14-4 with 13 more games to go, having to win our next 13 or 11 of our next 13 to stay on the bubble is dumb as shite to say.

Top 50 RPI team, losing to Florida would have hurt us more than losing to A&M at this point.

When I replied, this is what you stated.
quote:
you're making my case for me. what are the odds that lsu goes undefeated the rest of the way? nearly impossible, especially as inconsistent as they are. lsu is just inside the top 50 right now but, any more losses and they're off the bubble.
Don't know how that can be interpreted another way.

quote:you're missing the point. lsu can't lose any more games to teams in the range that a&m is at. b1g or big12 teams get to play several more ranked, high rpi teams the rest of the way. lsu doesn't have that. they only have mediocre teams and can't afford to lose to them if they want to stay in the top 50.
Top 50 RPI team
95 Jan. 24 @ Vanderbilt
115 Jan. 28 South Carolina
198 Jan. 31 @ Mississippi St

47 Feb. 7 Alabama
1 Feb. 10 Kentucky
43 Feb. 14 @ Tennessee

71 Feb. 21 Florida
102 Feb. 24 @ Auburn
50 Feb. 28 Ole Miss

none of those rpi numbers stand out except for ky and ark.

quote:perhaps you didn't catch the meaning of what i was saying. i was saying that lsu needs a significant amount of wins based on their sos, the rpi and the remaining opponent rpi. this team is too inconsistent right now to count on those wins. they almost need to win out given what other conferences have left as opposed to lsu's sec schedule.

This is plain silly. You really give too little respect to the SEC. LSU still is in great position to make the tournament.

Top 50 RPI teams aren't bubble busters, they have to beat the sub 50 teams for sure.
Posted on 1/21/15 at 8:58 am to SouthOfSouth
quote:i disagree. i listed the remaining opponents' rpi. that combined with lsu's already unimpressive sos means lsu is not "in great position." they need a lot of wins against the remaining mediocre rpi numbers to hope to keep up with the acc, b1g, big 12, etc. right now, those wins look doubtful given how inconsistent they are. hopefully there won't be anymore mizzou or a&m performances
This is plain silly

quote:it's not just that simple. lsu is in competition with all the other teams in front of them in the rpi. most of those teams have stronger sos left on their schedule than lsu. lsu has to win to counteract that. the only thing keeping lsu in the top 50 despite an unimpressive sos is wins. continue losing to teams like a&m and the tourney case is out the window. the best acc, b1g, big12 teams aren't going to have those kinds of losses and they're going to have wins against even better rpi numbers. that's what lsu is up against.

So you assume teams that are approximately LSU's RPI have to play a ton of much tougher opponents, but they will just win them all?
I don't think you realize that other bubble teams struggle at times to, that's what makes them a bubble team.

I hate to be rude in here, but this stuff in lunacy.
RPI:
Bama 50
Kentucky 1
2x Tennessee 42
Texas A&M 47
Arkansas 15
Still have 6 more games vs top 50 teams before the SEC Tournament.

It was a conference road win against a RPI 55 team. Stop being a bitch.

A 16-2 conference record would certainly not be enough to get an 11 seed. The window is tightly shut and locked.
Not sure if serious.

If we were to win out as some suggested, which would include being UK and then winning the SEC tourney (which very likely would include another UK matchup) we would most certainly be a one or two seed. So I dont think that is a realistic standard to say we have to beat UK and win out to MAKE the tourney. Teams get beat up in conference play every game.
Posted on 1/21/15 at 9:11 am to T-mart57
I don't think we would be 1 but I'd say a 2-3 seed would be likely.

Was a letdown but with a top 50 RPI that's not too bad of a loss.

This is what cannot happen anymore, sub 100 teams are must wins for us.
