So much for the so called 'experts' in picking the top college teams across the land. No shade on the seeding process or experts. Just goes to show you in baseball well, you don't have to be 6'6" 245lb, 4.5 40yd to be legit. All shapes and sizes with alot of heart, good coaching, confidence, and you win!!!

For those of you who continue to second guess and 'what if', 'what if', 'what if', please. You sound like ole piss fans! Stop embarrassing yourself.

LSU baseball had a great season that exceeded expectations. Enjoy that fact and look with an optimistic eye on the upcoming football season and next years baseball season. Yea, did not include basketball (not much hope there).

Geaux Tigers..........

P.S. Rant negatigers spare your key strikes as I RDC!!!

This is a weird place to bust out the "so-called experts" line.

Well for starters there aren't many people that size playing baseball to begin with, but I get your point.

Baseball, by far, is the hardest sport to "handicap" when compared to football and basketball. Certainly mid-majors in basketball make runs in the NCAA tournament but they are not doing it with 6 ft post players.

Baseball is the only sport where size really doesn't matter and on any given day the underdog has the ability to win on a regular basis.

As far as national seeds go, quality of competition plays a big role and teams from power conferences will get the edge over smaller conferences.

The nature of baseball yields more parity because physical prowess is not as fruitful as skill. Football is the opposite. There is less parity because the benefits of skill do not outweigh the benefits of physical prowess.

In football, the biggest, strongest, fastest team will almost certainly win. A skillful QB and/or a speedy ball-carrier can sometimes make up for the size/strength disadvantage of the rest of the team, but it's rare.

As I've said before, baseball is basically a 50/50 sport once you reach the collegiate level of competition.

But I picked Coastal Carolina to beat LSU when the brackets were released. TCU was my champion. I have proof as well
