I hate to burst your bubble but this happens all the time in baseball (especially midweek games). We're #2 in some of the polls and just lost twice to FGCU.

No

LSU was shutout by McNeese last year and was a game away from Omaha, losing to the eventual national champs. But we appreciate your interest in our midweek games

He's right. They pretend to be football gods.

Baseball and football programs have a lot in common, I guess.

Are you trying to compare losing to Clemson in football in the national championship game to losing to McNeese State?

I'm unsure of your angle here.

Again, we appreciate your interest in midweek OOC games in a "niche sport"

Its just one baseball game midweek so it isn't a huge deal, but it seems like a more common thing lately with these local teams.

2017
McNeese St
New Orleans

2016
McNeese St
Tulane
Tulane
Lamar (might as well be LA)

2015
Nichols St

From 1 to 4 to 2 early with another 6 or so left on the schedule.

LSU has almost always dropped a couple of games like this every year, even when Skip was the coach. And people get worked up over them every year, even though they end up meaning nothing come NCAA seeding time.

Lost to Tulane, Nicholls St and Lafayette in 2009 when we won a national title

Lost to McNeese St twice in 2000 when we won a national title

And Oregon State lost 17 regular season games and was 4 games under .500 in conference and won it all in 2007. The best team rarely wins it all and even the great teams usually have a few shockers.

Regardless if LSU or whatever team that drops too many ugly midweek games has to make it up with big weekend wins. SEC teams will have plenty of major opportunities that not everyone does. If 2016 was a more normal year, LSU probably misses that national seed and a large part of it would have been the bad losses midweek.

no it would have been because they finished 4th in the conference and 3rd in the West.

That too.

And looking back those midweek losses weren't as bad as I thought. Tulane was a good club and even Lamar & McNeese weren't terrible.

You rack up a handful of losses to teams with 150+ RPI at home and your RPI could easily go from top 5 to outside the top 8. That matters when fighting for a national seed.

well we haven't done that so I'm failing to see where you're going with this. Sure, you can't make a habit of losing all your midweek games. But dropping 2 or 3 a season isn't a big deal if you're taking care of business on the weekend. At the end of the day, where you end up in this conference is how you perform in conference play.
