NCAA Regional Host Site Projections (and National Seeds)

_ ESPN is the only one who has us out, would you agree that baseball america, rivals, and sebaseball do a better job? _

Yes.

If we are out, ESPN just guessed lucky. The reasoning they provided was nonsensical in its inconsistency (compared to how they evaluated other teams for the final spots). I do agree with them that Arizona could very well be in the field. But I opted to leave them out for the reasons I provided. You cannot have a bubble resume and play one non-conference road game all season. But the large conferences get unfairly rewarded at times. And the Pac-10 is #1 in RPI this season.

Jay is the team watching the show in the locker room? And if we are in, is there a coaches show tonight?

_ Now, I'm starting to be reminded of 2006. SEbaseball had the Cajuns as one of the last five in. And they didn't get it right.

The ONLY thing that makes me feel better this time is that we are a conference champion (and our RPI is a little higher).

For the first time, I'm sweating a little.

I do believe that if we are in, it's a lock that we are in Austin. It is the only site within 400 miles....and we are the only #3 seed that is within the 400 mile limit. (Baylor is also, but they can't go to Austin.)

The only way we aren't in Austin is if Texas State somehow gets in. _

No show tonight because of the holiday. Tony will come on BEV tomorrow afternoon if we're in.

Not that these make much sense ... but here is another set of projections. Cajuns comfortably in the field here.

Kansas is not even eligible (27-27-1 in Div. I games) and thus should not be under consideration.

It seems that they did not perform a final run of the projections yesterday (dated 5/27).

Jay,

Just a thought ... it might be interesting to interview Bobby Staub (one of the ten members of the selection committee) sometime this week to get his take on how the Sun Belt was represented (and evaluated) in the selection process and specifically how the Cajuns were evaluated.
