College Baseball Daily's Regional Report (May 6th)

[DawgSaint]

Below is the link to College Baseball Daily's Regional projections. I know it's all just a guessing game, but some pretty intresting stuff in this week's update.

They have 6 SEC hosts- including Kentucky, who is 10-14 in conference play.

Hard to put any stock in this.

[Todd4State]

Even though he has us as a three seed, I would take that draw.

[msstate7]

What? Kentucky hosting? We're a 2-seed right now

[DawgSaint]

I was thinking same thing. However, I also know this one seems way off in a lot of areas. Just linked because thought it might lead to a good debate. I hate the bears, but thought they would be a national seed this week. I'm sure Perfect Game's projections will be out tomorrow. They, in my mind, seem to have a better take on it.

Probably so- but honestly, I don't know of one publication that I can say is more reliable than the other. They're all going to be off.

You never know what the committee is going to do from year to year. We also have two weeks + tournaments and a LOT can change in that period of time.

The only things we can be assured of is:

1. There will be a Northern regional- which this year will likely be Indiana.

2. There will be a mid-major regional which will have four mid majors in it- which this year will likely be Louisiana-Lafayette. That regional will probably be matched with LSU who will get a laughably easy draw so that they can have the easiest path to Omaha possible.


I think we will probably end up a two seed. I think we punched our ticket this past weekend. I can't see them leaving us out even if we lose out and then go 0-1 in the SEC Tournament. We have to try to win out and pray and hope some other things happen that help us out over the next two weeks.

An Indiana/Ole Miss super regional would have scores that resemble football.

[AROB44]

Of course we all know that FSU will choke again at some point.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we end up in Indiana. One thing the committee does is make sure that there is no way that the same 8 teams from last years CWS will be the same.

[HailState39110]

I wouldn't mind going to Texas to the Rice or Houston regional. One of those destinations is our best chance to make a Super.

[Goat Holder]

They'd murder us too. Those guys mashed against us last year, but they couldn't get it out of TD Ameritrade.

Man, SO much of our postseason success will depend on where we get sent. If we can get to Omaha, I'd like our chances to win the thing honestly.

[Todd4State]

Your draw definitely is a factor in how far your team can go. Or at least it certainly is a factor in the odds of your team making it.

Probably on fresh crab legs.

Probably on fresh crab legs.

Nice!!!

[Political Hack]

I think y'all may underestimate the showing last year at the CWS. I feel confident college baseball would like to see the maroon flood head to Omaha again.

We spent all of our money last year****

[sbcmortgageman]

As soon as I saw UK as a host I knew this guy was not too good at his job. However, I'll take that bracket he gave us all day.

[CadaverDawg]

We spent all of our money last year****

Zzzzzing!

+1

[Todd4State]

That was a good one.

[dickiedawg]

I know you're kidding, but there's some truth there. I think a lot of people that went all week last year (which is a damn expensive trip) would wait to go if we were still playing the second weekend.

[smootness]

It looks like he's going strictly off RPI. I'm not looking at the RPI to know, but to have Vandy as the #5 national seed and us as a 3 seed, that seems likely.

[RougeDawg]

This, after we all sold our mobile homes....

[curmudgeon]

As the board's resident RPI geek. This guy is insane. He's simply looking at the RPI and moving here and there.

We are a SOLID 2 seed. Not even close to a 3.
Kentucky has ZERO shot at hosting as the 9th place team in the SEC despite a good RPI.
Houston has a good RPI but they are third in a bad conference. Not hosting.
I have Vanderbilt as the #16 host, with South Carolina as #17. The winner of that series will get a host but not a national seed. Vandy as the #5 national seed is ridiculous.

My projections have Ole Miss as a national seed, #7 or #8. I think we end up at TCU or Oklahoma State opposite the Ole Miss regional in the Super.

That pod could look something like this:

1. Ole Miss
2. Mercer
3. Georgia Tech
4. Columbia

1. TCU
2. Mississippi State
3. Dallas Baptist
4. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi

[The Croom Diaries]

The guy who wrote this goes to Mississippi State. I believe he had a show on BSR a year or two ago. Basically what I'm saying is that his Regional projections should carry about as much weight as anyone on this board.
