Not sure how we would be considered a dark horse since we took 3/5 from the #1 overall and we are a national seed.

This team does not really match up well talent-wise with Florida/Louisville/Texas A&M this year.

But you're right in that we can hang with those teams. However, we're the No. 8 seed and that itself was a close call. I feel comfortable saying that we're not expected to do much in Omaha by those who cover/follow college baseball closely.

Take the season as a whole. A little over a month ago, it wasn't certain we'd even be one of the higher seeds within a regional, if we made one.

Going into the Florida series, the general consensus was that we'd salvaged a lost season, and could probably host a regional if we could get a win against the Gators (and that was iffy) and not go 1-and-done in the SEC Tourney.

We somehow emerged from that as a national seed, and one of the hottest teams in baseball.
