NCAA Baseball Tournament Projections .
Folks,
The following are my 2003 NCAA Baseball Regional Projections. New Mexico State snuck in as my last team. Hence, the Aggies are truly a team on the bubble and there is no telling what the NCAA will decide to do. I have the Sun Belt, Southland, and the Atlantic Sun Conferences all getting three teams. The SEC leads the way with seven selections, followed by the ACC and Big XII both with six. My National Seeds changed slightly from earlier Sunday.
