Do the brackets flip in the semifinals like they used to in the 8-team format?

frick that shite. Atleast with this format, we can kind of get a feel for how our rotation will work out in a regional.

A win tomorrow, will give the 4th starter an opportunity to pitch in a playoff atmosphere so he is not thrown in cold should we need him in a regional.

I dont like pool play..but if we had the ACC rules we would get the tiebreaker on a 3 way tie automatically because we had the best seed in our pool. Even though we lost to Arky.

3 Arky
6 OM
7 Bama

yeah it doesnt seem to give "bubble" teams much chance to make a regional, national seed, etc.

Cant remember the year but a few years back all 3 games on Saturday meant nothing in the ACC tourney. The title game was already set on Friday.

that would make sense cause if the top 2 seed win their first two they would automatically go to the champ game becuase of being the higher seed. right?

Yes Broski..they changed it a few years ago.

For example this year..VT beat UVA and FSU

But if they lose to GT and UVA beats FSU then UVA advances even though they almost got run ruled by VT

It would be VT 2-1, UVA 2-1, GT 2-1, FSU 0-3, and UVA would advance because they were the 3 seed and VT was the 6.

Cohen just pulled Graveman in a 2-2 count.

He is such an idiot.
