Collegiate Baseball Poll moved us from non-ranked to 16. That seems like a good sign for a possible regional host.

All other polls in the 20’s so they would have to win SEC tournament to get a chance for a regional host.

No. It doesn't work like that.

It's impressive that you're this confident when you have no idea what you're talking about.

Well, there will be debate on this topic until the Monday May 30th selection show.

Some think we (LSU) are already hosting being the #4 SEC team in the regular season with 17 SEC wins. But if we beat Auburn (if they beat UK) in game 1 and Tennessee (if they win their first game) in game 2 in the SEC tournament, there is no way they don't put us as a host going 2-1 in the SEC tournament (IMHO). The tournament is single elimination in the first round (seeds 5-12 play) and in the semis and finals.

We’re probably gonna host a regional. I’d personally like a few more wins in Hoover just to make sure though.

We’ve all seen the committee frick LSU before.

If they named host sites today, even with our RPI and ranking in polls, we'd be a host site. They don't name host sites today.

0-2 in Hoover, you lose the spot.

1-2 in Hoover gets tricky.

2-2 in Hoover, you secure the spot.

Anything better than 2-2 strengthens your seed.

Win the whole damn thing, top 8 seed.

I would take a 2 seed in 1 through 15 regional over host at 16.

Have some you just started following college baseball. LSU finished 4th overall in the SEC. SEC hosted 7 regional sites last year. Even if only 5 or 6 are awarded to the SEC, LSU is in good shape.

It’s because the 16th seed would go to Tennessee in the supers. He’d rather face them in Omaha.

6 of their losses have come in midweek games. They are higher in their conference and have a better conference record. They also outperformed LSU against the same opponents in Houston. They are 21-12 against the top 4 conferences. LSU is 18-15. I think there’s a good case for them to be higher ranked.

So would a 2 seed in 1-15 for regionals.
