MEGA NCAA Tournament - Omaha Schedule on page 19

If Campbell and Southern Miss bid they should have been given preference over Auburn, South Carolina, or Coastal.

Coral Gables Tabbed One of 16 Regional Host Sites

This is my problem with the committee, if you’re gonna use RPI so heavily for host sites, then use it for everything.

RPI says we should get a top 8 over Stanford, they gave the SEC 8 host sites, who cares if the entire top 8 is ACC/SEC.

RPI is a useful tool for making whatever case they want. It’s a disposable tool, however, so they can also discard it whenever they want.

 

[neilrogers99]

They use end of season conference play to put Auburn in, then they use RPI to put South Carolina in. One can only hope they pair SEC vs SEC. The SEC will likely have one team in each of the eight pairing.

This is not good for college baseball.

 

[ewcanes]

They’ll probably just slap an SEC team in that 8th spot and claim RPI for that too.

Putting South Carolina 8th to match their RPI really would be the icing on top of the cake

When is the field announcement tomorrow

 

[ewcanes]

Noon

 

[TaylorWalls]

Will McGillis plays for South Carolina.
Bill McGillis (A.D. at U. of San Diego) is on the NCAA Baseball Selection Committee

Yes, they are father and son.

 

[ewcanes]

D1 Baseball projecting us as #9, with Stanford at #8.

Miami
Texas
USC
Army

That would be quite the CWS blue bloods regional.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

So 15 of the top 16 RPI teams got a site. Campbell at 14 got bumped for Auburn at 19.

I think it's good to "break ties", but I think it's better to use common sense.

Although I honestly believe that ChatGPT can give us better results than all the baseball and basketball analytics combined.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

The one that is problematic is Auburn. The chairman (Auburn) and the ONE school (Auburn) not in the Top 16 that jumped into the Top 16.

Hmmmm....

 

[BP Joe]

Just keep winning boys, and the rest will take care of itself. Look at March Madness this year, and the basketball Committee puts the baseball Committee to shame IMO.

Final BA projection is #9 overall paired with UVA. Other teams in the regional are UConn (Ugh), USC, and Central Connecticut State.

Incredible circular logic from Etheridge defending the South Carolina host. Essentially, the SEC deserves an 8th host because they played the 7 hosts we already gave them.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

What I’ve seen so far

Uconn, Texas, Oregon St and Tennessee seem to be the 2 seeds that are in play.

USC and Texas Tech the 3 seeds

Central Conn St and Army are the 4 seeds

Any teams that don’t have a nearby regional site that you’d have to put on a plane anyway.
