Oklahoma State over Texas - Despite winning the Big 12 regular season, Ok St has an RPI of 19. Texas is at 7. Not sure if it drops Texas enough for LSU to jump them, but it could make it interesting. Also a hit to the RPI for Houston and Rice.

while it could help the RPI this has no impact on our top 8 or hosting chances. It is possible that the big 12 championship is a playoff game for a national seed. If TCU wins they lock that in, if Texas/OK state win they could get it, Texas less likely to get it. Big 12 doesn't get 2 top 8 seeds.

Where does Southeastern go? Lafayette or Baton Rouge?

Well, helping RPI has an impact on our hosting chances. Agree that it doesn't free up a spot by eliminating the Big 12 because one of those teams WILL get a national seed. Oklahoma St winning is best for LSU simply because there's no way that they overtake LSU in RPI. Texas losing was also more detrimental to both Houston and Rice.

As it happens, LSU has now passed TCU, Rice and Houston and, as mentioned in the OP, they are close enough to Texas to make it interesting. If the win over Florida gives LSU enough of a bump tomorrow, they could be in the top 8 in RPI and VERY deserving of a National Seed.
