being ranked or seeded no. 1 gets you alot of attention and style points. The team that is meant to win it will win it; i'll gladly take the 1 seed but being one of the top 8 is the main goal.
I could completely see a scenario where UCLA is number one all year and doesn't win it all.
I agree. I want to be ranked #1 in each poll, I want to win the SEC title, I want to be the #1 overall seed, and I want to win the College World Series. I want to shove it down the throat of the other team every single week. Preferring that somebody else beat you is for losers.
They also have a SS that is considered to be the favorite to be the number one pick in the draft. That will also give them some helium.
If we beat UCLA in Dallas- that would be a big win for MSU. Could go a long way for our confidence and also be a big feather in our cap as far as hosting.
