What is their RPI right now and what will it be if we sweep Ole Miss?

It’s the 13 wins that’s the problem. Plus they play Ole Miss at home. So the RPI is not going to change dramatically. Ole Miss beating Texas A&M twice and possibly sweeping them will hurt LSU more than helping them. LSU was relying on teams like Texas A&M to take care of business for conference positioning. With all of those teams bunched up within a game of each other, it became critical to beat them on the road to help the RPI. Prior to the Bama game it was 33. 13 wins and 30 RPI is not going to help. Ole Miss and Bama have higher RPI’s and now Bama has to head to head series win.

If Texas A&M had taken care of Ole Miss, the head to head would be less critical. This is really about making the conference tournament now.
