re: Why do people say seed 1-8 don't matter?

If we were #6 instead of #7 last year, maybe we would have avoided Stony Brook.

No we would have been paired with miami either way

Yes. My post was reinforcing your point that seeds don't matter.

It doesn't matter because only 4 or 5 national seeds make it to Omaha every year on average, so you don't know who you will face at that point. The 8 seed might have an easier Omaha matchup than the 2 seed

Whether LSU is the 1 seed or the 8 seed they are getting paired with the same regional.
What i am trying to say is ONCE you make it to Omaha, the higher seeds don't have an advantage? I am not talking regionals at all.

you want to be seeded 1-8 because you are sure to host a SUPER regional
if you are just one one the other host 9-16 - you win you will likely travel for the supers unless the original 1-8 you were matched against loses
1-8 gives you home field advantage to omaha
several years ago rice was a 1-8 & lost to a&m 7 instead of having to travel to houston - we got the host & a & m came to us

If all 8 national seeds were to make it to omaha, then yes 1 plays 8, 2 plays 7, etc. But the difference between the top 8 seeds is so small depending on who is pitching, that its almost negligible.

This is a great answer.
Thanks. But I would still imagine the top couple seeds are just better teams. I understand teams get hot etc. but I just think there are a handful of elite teams this year.
Then again I could see USCe making it all the way

Matters in Omaha.

I would say batting last is a pretty big deal.

Who are the handful of elite teams? I'd bet at least 1 if not 2 don't make it to Omaha

Yes because Oregon and nc state
Are close regionally
