It sure would be nice to move up to a 3 seed for the tournament, but I think a 4 is about as high as we can make it now. Doesn't really matter if we are a 4 or a 5, it appears.

I'd originally posted a bracket with Rice - then I realized I'd used Warren Nolan's predicted standings.

[sportdawg]

1	Southern Miss	16-5	34-12
2	Florida Atlantic	15-6	29-13-1
3	Old Dominion	14-7	30-13
3	Charlotte	14-7	27-17
5	Louisiana Tech	11-10	30-14
6	FIU	10-11	26-20
6	UTSA	10-11	22-20
8	Marshall	9-12	21-23
8	Rice	9-12	18-26
10	Middle Tennessee	7-14	20-24
10	UAB	7-14	19-24
12	WKU	4-17	13-32

Here's what we need to move us to 2/3

May 5-7
Rice (12-12) 3-0 Charlotte (14-10)
Tech (13-11) 2-1 FIU (11-13)
USM (19-5) 3-0 FAU (15-9)
ODU (17-7) 3-0 UAB

May 12-14
UTSA 2-1 Charlotte (15-12)
WKU 2-1 FAU (16-11)
ODU (20-7) 3-0 FIU (11-16)
TECH (16-11) 3-0 Marshall


May 18-20
ODU (23-7) 3-0 FAU (16-14)
Tech (18-12) 2-1 MTSU
Marshall 2-1 Charlotte (16-14)

In this scenario we'd finish 3rd

[Dawg06]

1. We don't want Old Dominion to lose at all. That series win is by far the best series win on our resume. We want ODU to win out to make our series win look good for the committee. This is the most important thing to hope we get help on.

2. We want Florida Atlantic to lose out because FAU is the only C-USA team we didn't play. FAU conference wins hurt our RPI.

3. We want Charlotte is lose out because they could potentially steal our at-large bid.

updated my post - 2nd or 3rd doesn't really matter - you gotta play the same teams.

USM 17-5
FAU 15-7
ODU 14-7

Our goal is 2nd or 3rd to avoid USM.

Looking like every participant in the tourney will be sub 100 rpi
