re: Predict the 16 baseball regional host sites-updated predictions? Cajuns chances?

With Oregon State's win over UCLA yesterday, it bumped their RPI to 50, which gives Arizona three more wins vs the top 50(11-8). Their RPI went all the way up to 22. Id definitely bet on them hosting as a #1 seed now.

Fullerton won their series against Long Beach, and won the Big West. Their RPI is still pretty high at 42, so if there is only one west coast host, they are probably out.

I think UCSB is out as well even though they are 21st in RPI. Finished only 13-11 in the Big West. Lost their last series vs a bad Riverside, and also had series losses against UC Davis and Cal Poly in conference.

Miami, Florida, Louisville, Texas A&M, Mississippi State, LSU, Texas Tech, and the Clemson/Florida State winner should be the national seeds.

Clemson/Florida State loser, Virginia, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and TCU should be locks to host.

Personally, I think Arizona and Louisiana Lafayette have done enough to be hosts.

North Carolina State, Coastal Carolina, and Southern Miss are probably the three teams vying for the last host spot, with a Big West team a long shot. Im not sure a sixth team from the ACC gets a host bid, and the committee seems to like to give hosts to smaller teams when they have great seasons. So I think Southern Miss gets the spot with a win tomorrow, but a loss gives it to Coastal Carolina.

Im home bored, so Ill probably do a full 64 team mock tonight before the big games tomorrow.
