Lets hope and pull hard for the Cajuns to end up with just single digit loses(fewer the better) and at the same time pull for everyone we have and will play as long as its NOT against us!
I totally agree this team is GOOD enough to get a national seed, but you and I both know that we will not be able to lose more than one or two more games to get a national seed, and that is a vital element to get to Omaha. The SBC brethren did not help this week losing all over the place often, and big.
Brian, your explanations are EXTREMELY helpful, so thank you!
A simple guy like me just looks at the rankings but this is all really good info. But I have to be honest, this team is VERY good and we are clearly able to win away from the Tigue. So while a national seed would be great, it certainly is not the only road to Omaha
I recall a figure Doc, and to use your views lets say there are a hundred roads to Omaha. The overall numbers at the time I saw this a couple of years back was eighty-seven of those roads began and ended as national seeds.
If you told me I had a thirteen percent chance of winning the mega lottery power-ball for four hundred million I would be trilled, on the other hand if you told me I had a thirteen percent chance of beating some deadly disease, I would not be too optimistic. I guess it all depends on your view, if you view Omaha as the power-ball lottery super prize you are delighted, but if you view failure as death of another chance to become a baseball power maybe not so much. We need to keep winning, and winning we already got our thirteen percent win at South Carolina in 2000. ;o)
Baseball America projects us as the 16th seed hosting
2. Alabama
3. Baylor
4. Bryant

now I can't remember, are the super regional matchups based strictly on seed or does geography play a role?
They rank top 8 and pair the other regionals by location
