UF - cakewalk, I don't think they are pushed.

USM - FSU is in deep doo doo with this draw - A state has a legit Ace and USA isn't bad either.

Coastal - NC st. is overrated and Coastal can absolutely rake.

LSU - Will Rice throw their Ace vs SLU? I think we take this one

Texas Tech - the committee really wants a Big 12 team in the supers. Cakewalk

Bryant - I'm really down on the ACC teams except for UL and Miami. I don't think UVA makes it out.

TCU - Home cooking plus ASU is trending down.

A&M - Minnesota is a 2???? geez cakewalk.

UL - see A&M - might be the easiest regional ever.

Vandy - tough call because I think UCSB will give them all they want.

USCe - extremely easy regional for a non national seed. UNCW could make some noise but doubtful.
Remember when USCe stinks up the SEC tournament they usually rake in the regionals.

OSU - Clemson is overrated and shits the bed at home.

MSU - fairly tough regional but I believe they have the pitching to come back if they slip up in one game.

ULL - Even though ULL swept them in the regular season beware of Sam Houston, they can knock the cover off the ball.

Tulane - Ole Miss got a shittastic draw and looks to have the toughest regional on the board.

Miami - FAU could make some noise but Miami is just too talented.

Yeah, FSU got screwed in their regional considering what aTm and UL drew.

LA Tech swept Rice
Rice better be careful with SLU and so should LSU

UConn is hot and has a stud pitcher. could push them once, but unlikely they beat them twice.

could see any of the four teams coming out of this one.

Coastal - NC st. is overrated and Coastal can absolutely rake.

agreed. Coastal has one stud pitcher, but he'd match up against Lange in the supers. lsu has to feel good about this.

lsu. easy draw.

for real. way too easy. i think virginia beats them in the supers tho.

i like UVA

agreed on all these

like the upset call here. i'll take oklahoma state

MSU - fairly tough regional but I believe they have the pitching to come back if they slip up in one game.

man, i know fullerton is having a down year, but i would never want to see them in my regional. i think state could go down. tech isn't a complete slouch either, they could test some teams.
quote:

ULL - Even though ULL swept them in the regular season beware of Sam Houston, they can knock the cover off the ball.

arizona is right around 20 in the RPI. i think ULL advances, but arizona is their biggest test. sam houston doesn't have the pitching to win 3-4 games against that kind of competition.
quote:

Tulane - Ole Miss got a shittastic draw and looks to have the toughest regional on the board.

noted tulane homer here. shitty draw for ole miss, but shitty for tulane too. boston college has very good pitching, including a guy projected to be drafted 11th overall. i think boston college beats tulane in that first game, and the wave won't be able to come through the loser's bracket. ole miss advances.
quote:

Miami - FAU could make some noise but Miami is just too talented.

fau beats miami. i really like their squad.

I feel like Day Two of the Regionals can get weird everywhere. There seems to be a lot of parity this season and every host needs to be on alert because I feel like any team can be beaten in a 1-2 Regional Matchup.

Southeastern isn't bad. Would love for Rice to save their ace and lose. Probably won't happen, but would be awesome. lol

I could totally see a Tulane-Ole Miss losers bracket game there. And who ever wins it can still win the regional.

Tulane has five legit starters (counting Merrill if needed) while Ole Miss has a lot of versatile bullpen arms and mashers at the plate. Best regional by far.

Miss State has the toughest 4 seed in the nation. Missouri State is legit.

It's SE Missouri State.

Utah is the best 4 seed, and Ole Miss did get completely screwed. Not that I mind.

I think both Mississippi schools got tough draws.

No doubt. Makes me wonder about NCAA conspiracies.

"We don't want those shitty Mississippi schools in the CWS. Sucks for ratings. Here's the plan..."
