re: CWS Top Seeds

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.
