Bracket Update

[jllanclos]

Do they reseed for the CWS using original seeds or will the Cajuns go iin as 3 seed? Are CWS brackets already set or subject to super regional winners?

We'd go in as the 14 seed. Just like when a 14 seed advances in the NCAA basketball tournament. There is no reseeding. In other words, the 3-ASU/14-UL winner plays the 6-Tex/11-Ore winner in game 1 of the College World Series.

Bracket:
1 Cal vs. 16 Washington
9 Missouri vs. LSU

4 Oklahoma vs. 13 Arizona
South Florida* vs. Hofstra

3 Arizona St vs. 14 Louisiana
6 Texas vs. 11 Oregon

7 Tennessee vs. 10 Georgia
2 Alabama vs. Michigan

I'd be good with that.

I'd be good with that.

I honestly don't think there's a team left in this tournament that's better than the Cajuns. Doesn't mean we'll win the whole thing. But who can match this team's pitching and firepower?

We remain the 14 seed but would play either Texas or Oregon from that Super

I think Cal is the best team in the country ... but that does not mean they cannot be beat. But they are ... and should be the favorite. Extremely well balanced with a shutdown ace and a very good #2.

Arizona State can match the Cajuns. It is a shame that these two teams must meet in the super regionals.

I think Alabama matches the Cajuns as well. Very potent offensively and a shutdown ace. The Crimson Tide do not have a #2 pitcher, but with Traina being a bulldog capable of throwing an entire three game series, they usually get away with it. With Alabama, you need to make the series go three games.

Arizona State can match the Cajuns.

You said a mouthful there, Brian. Arizona St can match the Cajuns (not "the Cajuns can match Arizona St)

Agreed... I'm curious how ASU feels about the seeding, my guess is if we win, there will be a bit of outcry about the seeding process... Especially if we make some serious noise or win the whole damn thing!

My guess is that there will be just as much "outcry" about the seeding process as there was when we were ranked #7 in the country, yet seeded #5 in an 8 team regional. The "other" Arizona team wasn't very happy we paid a visit to them that year, as I recall. It seems some Cajuns came in and spoiled their consecutive WCWS appearance streak out of the 5 hole...but still, nothing has changed.

We just have to face the fact that the "big" schools will ALWAYS get the benefit of the doubt over us. Even if we win a national title or two. Sad but true.

[anhil8tor]

I disagree there. When you start winning national titles you get respect. We have not done that yet.

Well hopefully we find out who's right next year.

Couple of things here. PAC 12 had eight schools, and the SEC had nine schools. Maybe Washington did not deserve a number one seeding, I agree on that. The committee tried to make sure that as few of the SEC, PAC 12, and Big 12 schools met members of their own conference in the first round as possible, and that carries though all the way to the WCWS. They want PAC 12, SEC, and Big 12 teams there.

I pretty much got into a dissagreement with Jay on the radio about how the selection committee will use whatever criteria they want when it comes to placing and seeding. His view, at least to me, was that they use a varitey of backgrounds, and criteria to come to their decisions. I told him they love to use whatever criteria fits their motive to stack these things. He got pretty ticked off on that comment. So we left it at that, opposing opinions.

I am pretty sure ASU is a confident team no matter who comes to Tempe just like UL would be for teams to Lafayette, but I gotta believe down deep they felt like we got underseeded and were not happy to see that we were their most likely opponent. I will put it this way and ask this question? Does anybody think ASU his happier hosting UL than Mizzou? They know who should have been the number nine seed or better. Does anybody think LSU was not happier going to College Station than Lafayette? So maybe we should be the number eight seed in their eyes, and glad we were misseeded.

Long and short 1280 you are right. The selection committee will always favor the PAC 12 until the SEC takes over just like they have done in almost every sport. But these two conferences will be taken care of, and schools like UL will have to be a lot better to win, we will never play on an even field getting to the WCWS, or any other final.
