Where LSU baseball sits in RPI rankings after fourth-straight loss
TL;DR
LSU baseball has lost four consecutive games, including a sweep by Ole Miss, bringing their record to 22-15. The team now sits at No. 74 in the RPI rankings, complicating their chances for a College World Series berth.
LSU baseball had a rough weekend. The Tigers wound up on the wrong end of a sweep, dropping three games to Ole Miss. Paired with LSU's loss to Bethune-Cookman last week, LSU has lost four straight games.
LSU is 22-15 after begining the year ranked No. 2 in most polls. LSU had College World Series hopes but now LSU has to spend the final stretch of the season battling for a spot in the tournament.
RPI is a key metric used in determining the tournament field and as we approach mid-April, its time to start paying closer attention to where LSU ranks.
LSU now sits No. 74 in RPI. That's not far off from where LSU entered the Ole Miss series. The Rebels are a quality team and LSU isn't being punished for losing, but LSU missed a massive chance to boost its own ranking. Even winning a single game in Oxford would have led to a slight boost.
LSU will get another chance this week as the Tigers are home for a series vs. Texas A&M. The Aggies rank No. 12 in RPI and if LSU can take two of three, LSU will be on the way up.
