Every team is good this time of year….ECU is not what they once were. They had to win the conference tournament to get in. Tennessee is not what they’ve been. We’ve got to play well regardless

D1 moved Auburn above Carolina in their final projection last night, and their justification was record against other regional hosts…which I really just don’t understand. If you apply that standard across the board, then GT should have been your 1 overall seed above UCLA. (I know D1 ultimately doesn’t make the decision, but their fingerprints are obviously all over this) Hard regionals happen - that’s ridiculous too - but I’m most irritated by this 4/5 seeding. Ridiculous.

Extremely questionable decision to pitch our top three arms Friday/saturday instead of Sunday considering how critically important yesterday’s game was to seeding….G tech & our brackets are two completely different universes…

Who would you have thrown, and what if we lost the first tournament game?

And what is brutal about it? A bubble team in ECU, a barely above bubble team in VCU, and Tennessee that ain’t 2024 Tenn. Not seeing what is brutal about it at all. Big names, don’t make it brutal.
Well yeah, except VCU is the 4 seed. By far the best 4 seed.

There is a reason everyone is saying we got shafted, not just our fans

Just VCU being the 4 makes it tougher than an average bracket. For example, they are 82 in RPI while South Dakota St (who 13 Nebraska got) is #239. The highest seeds in the tournament should get the chance to manipulate their pitching if they choose.

Now we get to Tennessee. They’re #17 in DSR, which is designed to measure team strength more than RPI. We’re 3rd. That’s preposterous. ECU is #32.

Nothing would have changed. They would not have had us above GT and still would have manipulated the bracket to get a non-SEC team in the 5-8 bucket. They were working backwards to get a preferred outcome.

Don’t forget FSUs AD is the head of the committee, they got a bump and bc of seeding Tennessee 25 instead of 24, they got coastal and we got tennessee
