To repeat, LSU does not NEED to play ULLLLL in baseball to improve its RPI. LSU has played the #1, #10, #11 teams in the country so far. LSU by the time the season ends, will have played at least 7 teams in the Top 20, at least 4 in the Top 10. Three times each. With the SEC tournament, add at least 2 more Top 20 teams if not higher ranked. That's roughly, 25 games against Top 20 teams. Out of 50+ for the season. Tell me again why playing ULLLLL would have a roll in making a Super Regional happen? And ULLLL will never be a rivalry game in any sport.
To repeat, you don't understand RPI. Just because LSU plays more ranked teams, doesn't mean they will win those games. Playing and winning a weekend series against UL would help LSU. Could be the difference between the 8th & 9th seed at the end of the season. And yes it would be a rivalry. The two schools hate each other and would be competitive in every sport besides football.

I look at it this way....why play ULL in baseball or softball and help THEIR RPI? Their conference isn't nearly as strong as the SEC. Let them raise their strength of schedule somewhere else.
