Cajuns Win In 11 Innings At Nicholls State, 7-1

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

Indeed it is not. Staying healthy will be key.

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)

Lol the former without a doubt. I'll be with everyone else pulling for 30 more wins and a national seed and would be there for postseason, no doubt. But if we don't end up top 8, I'd still feel pretty damn confident about this team in the supers away from home

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

This is exactly what drives me insane about the seeding process. We are better than 3/4 of the national seeds, yet projected as the last regional host...

I noticed that this was the projected as of 02/13/14. Perhaps some of this will come to pass, but I doubt that it will be half right.

Remember we need to have an unreal season to be a national seed, we play in the SBC, not the SEC, Big XII, Pac 12, ACC. I do however take exception to the Big 10. I think the SBC would fare really well vs them.
