If LSU were to make the run through the conference tourney,

we then would have 20+ wins,


Yes

a hot streak to close the season,

and a legit big-time player (O'Bryant is 6'8" and has a bunch of double-doubles).


Doesn't factor in at all.

This is where RPI comes in. And ours sucks.

ETA: in other words, we could do all that work to get in the dance, and our RPI would still bite us on the seeding. I bet we would be a 13.

Probably right, the RPI would kill us. But my point about O'Bryant is that he isn't a glorified 6'4" swingman who'd get butchered against major teams, he's a legit 6'8", and you could reasonably project that he'd get his numbers against anyone.
If you have a couple of similar teams you're trying to rate, O'Bryant might give us an edge.
