re: This CWS proves that you need to re-seed the 8 teams in Omaha after the Super Regionals..

Why not push the Championship Series to the next weekend and go Friday, Saturday, and Sunday? I think that’s the best way to do it

Can you imagine the bitching in the rant if people had to spend a fortune to go back and forth to Omaha?

More accurate initial seeding but no re-seeding.

You must hate the MLB playoffs then. In a 7 game series they get to use their aces and top long relievers 3 times max. Those other 4 games are unwatchable, right?

I dont watch MLB. I feel like you're trying to make an argument where none exists. It's just my opinion, baw. Chill out. I'm okay with things staying just as they are. But I'd change a couple things if I were king.

The national championship series should be rested staff vs. rested staff. Why on earth would you want to decide it any other way?

They don't do this for a lot of sports. In MLB they don't start the next series in the playoffs only when both teams have their aces back. It's part of the need to win series faster if you can.

They need to allow time for both teams to be at full rest. Its stupid that either team has to be penalized due to compressed schedule. Every other major college sport has a good week to 10 days between the last game and the championship game(s), why is baseball forced to shoehorn all these games into a compressed time frame? Its not how the rest of the season plays and it does not give an accurate reflection of who the real champ is. I know we will probably see Skenes for a minute or two tonight but its BS that he is basically restricted from starting in the championship series because they make all these games back to back.

Reseeded

1. WF
8. ORU

4. Virginia
5. Stanford

2. UF
7. Tenn

3. LSU
6. TCU

Really very similar brackets to what we saw. Wake probably advances through theirs and it is LSU/Florida in the 1-0 game.

The series is fine. It’s a huge punishment to lose a game, simple as that.

I wouldn’t mind an extra day of rest before the final series though, so both teams are at their best. Although again, it’s further reward for staying in the winners bracket.

I forgot—teams don’t all start the tournament play on the same day. So that’s an inherent benefit aside from staying in the winner bracket. So yes there should be an extra rest day.

I don't think Omaha should be reseeded but I do think the Supers need to be reseeded after the Regionals. Tennessee and Southern Miss were both 2 seeds in the regionals they played in, but USM got to host a super against them over some teams that hosted regionals despite not hosting a regional themselves.

Going by the 16 regional winners, these should have been the 8 Super Regional hosts:

1. Wake
2. Florida
3. LSU
4. Virginia
5. Stanford
6. Kentucky
7. Indiana St (with their host issues could travel to their 10 seed opponent)
8. South Carolina

9. Bama (goes to SCar)
10-15. These are all 2 seeds that won a regional, go by RPI to find the order
16. Oral Roberts (goes to Wake)


Then I don't think they need to be reseeded for Omaha, it's a neutral site where nobody hosts so I don't think it's as important. Whoever gets here did it after a reseed for the Supers so I don't think any lower seeded teams that happen to get here will have done so by having an easy path by lucking into an easy Super Regional opponent.
