I said this in 2010 and I’ll say it again. Going all the way through Omaha puts you behind in preparing for the next season, and is such a monumental achievement that it should give you more leeway the next year.

Now, if like this year the champ would otherwise miss the tourney, they should be slotted as the 4-seed in the 1 overall regional.

I’d still give us a better shot at taking down UCLA than whatever directional cow school on which that spot will be wasted.

It might put us at a slight disadvantage. Not enough to be an excuse for missing the postseason entirely.

If a team is bad enough to need that rule, it'll most likely be 2 and Q in the regional.

Weird that the only two years that you have said this are 2010 and 2026. Any reason why you don’t say it every year?

Obviously that’s when I think about it, but those Mississippi teams for instance shouldn’t have been left out the next year.

Why not? Do you also believe that the runner up should have an exemption as well?

Do you honestly believe they should be in the World Series this year?

If they were to go to LA and win that regional then take 2/3 from another top 16 on the road? Yes.

I realize the odds are about the same as I’d have with a gymnast, but I think the champ should always get some shot.

Get real. If it were anyone else, you wouldn't be saying that. It was a horrible year. Accept it.
