How hard is it to re-shuffle the seeds?

LSU and ARKY are The top 2 remaining seeds. Playing in the first game is dumb. I know it’s discussed every year…….but seriously how hard is it.? They are all flying to the same spot. They will play whenever they are told to.

Reseeding in the middle of a tournament is dumb.

Not reseeding. Re-shuffling based on their original seeds.

What do you think re-seeding is?

This is exactly what the NCAA wants/wanted.

Theres not other reason you stack LSU, Ark and Tenn all on the same crash course with each other unless you're trying to weed out all the SEC teams so you don't have an all SEC final again.

Whoever wins the first game in the CWS is going to. Win the title.

I see no reason why they can’t reseed before supers

March Madness doesn't reshuffle if some top seeds get knocked out, correct? I don't watch it, but my recollection is they don't.

No need to reshuffle then again for the stick sports' version of March Madness. Just let it all play out.

It’s never going to happen. It would be seen as an unfair advantage to higher seeded teams that make it. The NCAA loves what happened this year. You could possibly have 6 different conferences make it to Omaha.

NCAA sure can rethink things when it comes to Football playoff. Ask a Seminole when their QB gets hurt.

Nah. If a lower seed runs through a regional by knocking off the overall #1 seed and then upsets another higher seed in a super, their reward shouldn’t be having to face the toughest team remaining in the tournament.

At the same time the tournament is large enough to be able to logistically keep teams from the same conference or have played each other X number of times during the regular season away from meeting up until later rounds.

A little tougher to do with the way things are in NCAA Baseball with regional 1-4 seeding.

I don't think reseeding for Supers is a bad thing and seems like a reasonable solution to loading up one side of the CWS bracket.

This is a debate with the fans every year; especially when LSU makes it; but are there ever rumblings about the NCAA considering it? Hell, until this time of the year, you can barely get ESPN to care about college baseball; so they most likely do not weigh much into it from a trying to maximize eyes on it consideration.

Don't follow it, but I believe the NCAA resees hockey when it gets to the final 4, but that would be the only sport they reseed. The rest is just a follow the bracket formula.

The hockey does not reseed. Same tournament formula as basketball, baseball, etc.

Relied on AI and they said they reseed the final 4. But if they don't, then even more reason for the NCAA to keep it the same and not have baseball be the outlier.

You want to reward LSU and Arky because Vandy, Texas and most of the SEC was way overrated. Why not reward the schools that outperformed by beating teams they were ranked way behind instead of rewarding teams that did exactly what they were supposed to do?

LSU and Arky have to beat each other to win it all anyway. Why not play in the first round to do it?

They tried to do it, but the SEC teams kept losing. If everything had gone chalk from the regionals on the CWS opening games would be:

Team in Bold made it to the CWS. Teams in italics did not even make it to the supers.

Vandy(1)-Oregon St.(8)

Texas(2)-Georgia(7)

Arkansas(3)-LSU(6)

Auburn(4)-North Carolina(5)

The two sides of the bracket are pretty evened up to start. Then chaos happens, which makes it more fun, though the chaos in baseball does involve having to do it more than once to move on to the next level.

Not sure why we'd punish a lower seed for making it out of whatever Regional they got sent to. This year, the Regional host seeds on one side of their bracket just didn't hold up their end of the bagan. It's what it is.

I've enjoyed this post season, despite not having a dog in the hunt for the first time in a few years. Been a very interesting tournament. No need to tinker with shite because of one outlyer for a conference this one year.

1 - I didn't think the NCAA had a hand in the CFP. I thought that was an ESPN post season thing with their committee.

2 - I've always maintained that Florida State shouldn't have been penalized and earned their spot to the CFP that year. They likely would have been blown out the first round, but keeping them out because one player got injured, after they went undefeated, was shitting on the rest of the players who busted their tails.

Right because if 6 SEC teams did make it to Omaha, you would have a minimum of 2 SEC vs SEC teams.
