Sweep and we'd gain ~60 points and be in the 16-17 range. Win 2/3 we'd gain around 5-10 points and stay about where we are. Lose 2/3 or get swept and we're in the mid 30s. If we took 2/3, FAU could jump actually from #61 to the top 50. They would gain 53 points with a W, and just lose 4 with a L. Net gain around 40-45 points even if they just took 1.

SouTTTh Alabama is set to lose 20 points even if they sweep UALR, but that'd keep them in the top 50 for now.

LaTTTech will gain ~25 points with 2 wins in Miami this weekend, putting them in the mid to low 30s.

Not an opponent, but Auburn will lose ~50 points even if they sweep Bammer (Greg Goff failing miserably puts a smile on my face). That'll drop them 6-8 spots.

I enjoy seeing Bama lose as much as the next person especially with the coach they have now but I wouldn't mind seeing Bama somehow get a win or 2 vs Auburn. A Bama (200) win or two at Auburn (18) would improve them enough to possibly help us move up a spot or 3 as well as it would keep us from having any completely horrible RPI losses come season's end. I agree the thought of wanting Bama to win in any sport makes me want to but sometimes you gotta do it.

Bama won game 1 of today's DH and tied 3-3 in game 2 and saw their RPI improve 10 spots to 190
