WTF? (my first and only softball post)

[aTotal360]

How did the #1 team in the country (Minnesota with a 51-3 record and RPI of 11) not get seeded in the NCAA Tournament? They are being sent to the Tuscaloosa regional.

Ha, even worse, matched up with the #1 overall in the Supers. Surely there was some reason for that.

Apparently, their RPI is only #11. Still, they should be hosting. Another WTF. All 13 SEC schools that play softball made the tournament. I understand it's a strong conference, but if you finish DFL in your conference, I think you need to sit home.

Being punished for taking too many lakes away from the rest of the Country.

Geez. You have to apply at least SOME regional aspects (and common sense) to this deal. How can they possibly even know who is the best? There isn't enough cross pollination to make that call. You have to let them host.

This is akin to letting Alabama play in the national championship game in 2011. Yeah we all know they were probably the best, but we'll never have proof, because they didn't allow anyone from the rest of the country to have a chance at LSU.
