Regional. Yikes. Mainly due to our terrible RPI. Will go up as we play more SEC teams, obviously. Ton more baseball left to be played.

While that’s probably true, rpi is not a concern at this point. We end up with 17 SEC wins and the rpi will take care of itself.

Predicted RPI has us at #26 with a 17-13 SEC record. I gotta think we're still hosting in that case. ELO likes us a lot more

Ole Miss was the last team in the tournament the year they won it all. Just have to get hot at the right time. LSU has the talent. Would love to host, but just need to get in at this point.

I believe they're seeding to 32 this year, for the first time.


Are you sure about that? Not saying you’re wrong at all, just had not heard that. It’s interesting if true.

I wasn’t making any predictions, but assuming we go 11-7 the rest of the way with the schedule we have left in front of us is quite optimistic.

Yes that's a change for this year. It won't be a straight pairing 1-32, 2-31, etc. They'll do it instead in groups of 4. So teams 29-32 will be in the regionals of the top 4 seeds and so on.

We've been to the UCLA regional before-- 2010, after winning the SEC tourney.

From D1 baseball

quote:

One thing to keep in mind with the way NCAA tournament seedings now operate: The NCAA Baseball Selection Committee will now rank the Top 32 teams, with 17-32 teams being grouped in pods as two seeds with the Top 16 seeds. For instance, teams in the 29-32 range will go national seeds in the No’s 1-4 range, teams in the 25-28 range will go to national seeds No’s 5-8, teams in the 21-24 range will go to national seeds in the No’s 9-12 range and teams in the 17-20 range will be two seeds at the No’s 13-16 regionals. It is worth noting two things: geographical considerations still matter when applicable, and you still cannot have two teams from the same conference in the same regional. That will naturally cause some seeding manipulation during the process.


So they’re ranking all the top 32 but not necessarily straight seeding 17-32 with the corresponding 1-16.

Fours are reserved for weak or surprise conf tourney winners. The SWAC is guaranteed a 4 in the 64, other day a ULM wins Sunbelt tourney whilst Costal Carolina & Southern Miss still get in.

If we wind up at the UCLA regional, I wonder if certain LSU “yell leader” will be back to cheering for the Bruins like he did after we lost there.

So basically by what you are saying we can deduce that their prognostication at this time means exactly jack shite? Or am I missing something?

There is zero chance that they are putting LSU out west at UCLA in a regional
They will be the overall 1 team unless something major goes wrong.
LSU has 18 sec games left they could be hosting a regional if they turn it around
