Softball projected as the #9 seed heading into selection show tomorrow

Florida remained in the top 10 RPI wise the entire season based on OOC wins. They weren’t exactly great in conference play. The reason they are taking a national seed is they haven’t imploded as bad as LSU has the last month. They got 3 quality wins in the SECT. LSU went 1 and done. What’s sad is if LSU would have beaten Florida they most likely get a national seed. LSU has a shite load of top 25 wins with a top 5 SOS. Finishing the season going 0-5 is what really killed it.

Yup. Torina's team as soon as it hits regionals throws everything behind them out the window and seems to play much different ball. Just get hot in the regional and carry it.

Minnesota super would be a easier super than the FSU regional the last two years. Only other super they could possibly send LSU too would be Arizona. I highly doubt they would pair the BR and Gainesville regionals together considering they have played 4 times already.

got to like our chances to go to the WCWS if we're paired up with Minnesota

Careful what you wish for. Minnesota has a pitcher with an ERA just over 1 who is a beast (it's not Sydney Smith)

Where are you seeing this? Texas at 10 seems too low. They have been top 8 all year. I know they lost 2 in their tournament, but that shouldn't drop them out of top 8

The top 6 seeds/teams are completely locked in. These last two weeks the 7 and 8 seed have been completely wide open.

Right now, Florida seems obvious for the national seed based on making the SECT Championship game and amount of top 25/50 wins. Add in a top 5 SOS.

There is a huge discussion on the 8 seed which revolves around Minnesota, LSU, Texas and Oklahoma State.

LSU while crushing all the other teams in the amount of top 25/top 50 wins is out based on limping to the finish line. Minnesota and Texas are in reality the ones up for debate. Both have similar top 25 wins and Minnesota decided to play a much better schedule this year (top 12). Minnesota made it to their conference championship game and Texas decided to not show up the final weekend, which included a loss to Iowa State. On top of it, Texas and Minnesota played each other this season and Minnesota beat them 2 games of a 3 game series in Austin.

The reason they are saying Texas behind LSU is because they are not matching up LSU and Florida again. They have played 4 times this season. They aren't adding another possible 3 games series.


Only other way is if they put Minnesota at 7 seed and then put LSU at 10. Florida and Texas would be 8-9. Florida absolutely crushes Minnesota in the amount of quality wins which is why they would be ahead of them.
