Has it crossed your mind that maybe LSU was a 3 seed, but once the committee chose UNC over Vandy as the 1 seed, they tried to avoid having them in the same bracket?


Why would it matter if their in our bracket? Sounds like everyone is glad they don't have to play vandy.

Do you cry ab playing UF in football every year? How bama gets an easier schedule?

We werent being left out. I understand that. But another year, we could have. Would you bitch then?

Whats the point of the committee?

Im still trying to figure this out. We shouldnt care if we have an easier road. Rt? Its LSU, we can beat everyone in every sport.

You frickers bitch ab non conference schedules, now ur happy. fricking hypocrites, the whole lot of you.

The Vandy as a 2 seed excuse is convenient. Bottom line is the selection committee is lazy and went by RPI.

How is this relevant to the current situation of our baseball team?

Vandy wont make Omaha, so it doesn't really matter.

Football fans brah, they have to bring it into the conversation.

I'll never forget waiting in line for the GA seats in Omaha before game 1 with texas, our fans and their fans were arguing about who was better, and it naturally shifted to football

Geez, the seeds mean nothing other than how to divide the field up.

Would you prefer to have the #3 seed and matchup instead?
That would give us a super-regional matchup with the K State regional winner (which Arkansas has a very good chance of winning), and then project to putting us on the same side of the board as Vandy in Omaha.

Because football is going to a committee. If we should be a #2 seed instead of #4, that could mean playing the sec champs in the first round of play offs, or us playing a bama team we already beat.

You cant complain ab one sport then tell me i cant complain ab baseball.

You frickers were up in arms ab playing the chicken bowl. Its the same principle.

I think they'll choke. But this also further illustrates the point. USCe got to host instead arky because of their brand, even though they got swept at home by them and didn't win one game in the tourney. Also arky is #3 in the league.

The LSU baseball brand in my mind should have carried more clout. LSU just about made college baseball what it is today, but they weren't even fair, it was a slap in the face. Yeah, the NCAA and committee hate LSU.

I do understand the reasoning of putting us at 4, but that IMO is the wrong reason. Let the chips fall and show some respect to the teams that have earned it.

I think he said something about being 5 wins from Omaha and was happy to be playing them all at home. He's not pissed.

They don't seed 9-16. Who cares about Vandy. Everyone's so caught up on Vandy. Vandy has a pretty tough road plus they always choke under Corbin.

Dude this isn't football. It's not about rankings. It's seeding. There is room in the top 8 seeds for the committee to sort out possible matchups down the road and give advantages to certain teams through their seeding. The key here is "positioning"- and the committee positioned us to have a very accessible road to Omaha while avoiding matchups with SEC teams until later. They gave us tremendous consideration. Quit just looking at a number. It's too simplistic and too "football" minded.

I really dont care, im just playing devils advocate. Just trying to give another side of thinking.

Do people not complain about our mid week schedule? So why complain ab that, but be content with an easier regional? Doesnt make sense.

They absolutely did that through our positioning.
