Not even close

Not saying they cant, but they are nowhere near being a "favorite"

They’re still flawed but they’re hot at the right time and that’s usually a sign to a deep run during this time of year

They’ve always been my favorite.

No. And I like it that way.

Did you watch any of the Notre Dame games? Texas? Have you seen Arkansas and Vandy this year?

Listen, I'm vibing just as much as anyone right now. But if you've seen the errors our infield has been making, as well as the batting at the bottom of the order, you'd know this team will need a lot of luck on it's side to do any damage in Omaha IF they make it that far.

Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt are all very deserving of top 4 seeds. There are other capable teams for sure, but those are the favorites to me

I haven't seen any odds but I would suppose that Vegas still considers Vandy and Arkansas as having better chances to get to Omaha and win.

Remember they're at home while LSU must win on the road.

Did you watch any of the other regionals?

NC State went to Ruston and pounded the competition. The closest margin of victory was 5 runs.

Notre Dame destroyed their entire regional. In three games combined the run differential was 50-5.

Texas made easy work of their regional.

LSU gutted out wins...on the road...vs good Gonzaga and Oregon teams. But I certainly wouldn't say they are playing "better than anyone" right now. The good news is they don't have to play better than any of those teams listed above right now. They just have to play better than Tennessee

Arkansas and Vandy will be very tough to beat 2 of 3. I don’t think Arky lost a series all year

ETA- hopefully we don’t get them in the championship series

That’s comical. Why would they be favored to win because they beat Oregon? What about the 12-17 record in conference and the early exit? Y’all won’t be favored this weekend much less to win it all.
