LSU has improved their RPI status from a week ago, moving up into the mid-teens from the 40s.

The Tigers (21-8, 3-6) are #17 in newly released NCAA RPI Ratings after winning 2 of 3 games at home against Ole Miss.

Tulane’s RPI has taken a hit due to the team’s six game losing streak. The Green Wave (18-11, 1-5) was ranked in the mid-20s and has since dropped to 47th.

Southeastern (19-10, 7-5) and ULL (16-11, 6-3) are two teams to keep watch as they are climbing in their chase for at-large NCAA bids.
