I had a conversation this morning with an Auburn dude, and he thought LSU was a long shot to make it to Omaha. I know, it is an Auburn grad....

Anyhoo, I told him we had about a 60% (just a random number indicating greater than 50-50) to make it based on #7 seeding, home field, experience, pitching, etc...

What is you all's guess. What liklihood would you put on it?

I would say all that makes it upwards to 70-80.

Oregon St. is a good team, so is Miami and UCF. But if they knock us out in the regionals or super regionals at the box, it's a HUGE upset.

That sounds right, maybe, if we were matched with the College Station regional.

But we got the Coral Gables regional. I'm pretty sure we're going to Omaha.

...and tell your Auburn friend that we're a lot better now than when they saw us in March.

based on our super regional pairings I would say we have a very good chance of making it to Omaha.. no less than 80% chance

Vegas wouldn't give you money back on a 100 bucks.......

100 bucks would probably pay around 60..........>50%

I'd say 2-to-1. (67% for the math challenged).

I think that's an accurate number. Although I think we have a very good chance to get there, anything can happen.

Playing at home and being matched up with the Miami regional makes LSU a good bet to get to Omaha.

But having watched LSU hitting go anemic at times this year I'm not placing a bet.

It's always 50-50. Either we do or we don't.

75% at worst. Homefield advantage is huge.

2 outcomes doesn't always mean both outcomes are just as likely.

How many times have we lost a home super regional? Have we ever lost a home super regional?

How many times have we lost a home regional when we were a national seed? Like once?

If we win our games then its 100% that we go to the CWS.

If we lose our games then its 0% that we got to the CWS.

Do the math!!!
