Super Regionals if the 2-0 teams advance
- Thread starter 615dawg

Really thought Jax State would embarrass LR last night.
That's what I get for thinking.
Two 4 seeds in the 2-0 driver's seat in regionals. Crazy times.
SEC baseball just doing SEC baseball things.

College baseball should consider reseeding super regional weekend. Ole Miss getting to host a super vs Milwaukee and us going to UGA? Setting up for third tier Ole Miss to get their second natty before us.
Was really glad to see Auburn struggling to win their Regional but now I’m a big fan of them winning today and tomorrow.
UNLESS, ole miss somehow implodes tonight and tomorrow.

College baseball has the best postseason format out of all the college sports especially true now since ncaa basketball expanded. Why fix something that isn’t broke? If we wanted to host a super we should’ve taken care of business in more than 4 sec series
I hear you, I don’t disagree we fell flat during regular season in our biggest games. That’s on us. However, third tier ole miss did even worse and they get to host vs Milwaukee potentially? Talk about a broken system.
Yeah, all of the big time upsets are on the other side of the bracket. Only four seed vs. seed and three are on our side and the other side has both 4 seeds in control.
I expect UCLA and Auburn will have very good chances of getting through, but obviously no room for error.
I get what you’re saying. We’ll see what happens today and tomorrow to see who hosts who next weekend but I don’t think OM should be punished for winning a road regional and the regional they’re paired up with is won by a 4 seed. Look at 2007 and 2018. Clemson and us were 2 seeds but we beat the national seed. 2018 vandy and is were 2 seeds and we beat national seed FSU (just like 07) the only reason we didn’t host the super was our stadium was under construction.
Said from the start that OM had a WAY better draw than we did to get to Omaha just because Nebraska is a fraud and Auburn is good but not in Georgia's class. If Auburn loses then they will basically have a cakewalk to Omaha with a Super Regional in Oxford. I really wanted that 13 seed over the 14 seed because huge difference in the odds of winning the SR. Georgia may actually be the best team in the country.
Seems like the perfect case for why they should re-seed after regional round.
Pretty crazy. Of course it won’t hold though. More likely:
Kentucky at UCLA
VIrginia or Jax St at Florida
Texas A&M at North Carolina
Ole Miss/ASU at Auburn
Mississippi State at Georgia
Oregon at Texas
Northern Illinois or St John’s or host at Alabama
Kansas at Georgia tech

It's a tournament format you trolling dullard. Upsets happen and teams benefit from them sometimes.
Princeton beat the defending champs UCLA in the 1996 NCAA basketball tournament. That worked out well for us.
And we've benefitted multiple times from it in baseball.
On the other side if we do come out of Athens alive nobody will want to see us in their bracket. That F'n team journey starts tonight.
It is. But they also used to reseed for the CWS every year. And NFL playoff reseed each round. There’s a proposal to reseed college football playoffs After 1st round. So it’s not unprecedented. Or even really a bad idea. You’d get a stronger CWS field that way. I sure wish we had it in this years super regionals.
I could definitely see Auburn coming back in this regional as well. Their 5 baseball fans should really energize their team going forward. MSU just needs to keep winning.
And I think it's a stupid thing to do. If you beat the high seed in a tournament you deserve to take over their easier path to the championship. You've earned that.
My opinion and they're like azz holes I know.
Edit to clarify I don't have a problem with the higher seed getting to host the lower seed who upset a high seed. I'm talking about a reseeding that changes the opponent.

I disagree. I think if you barely qualify for a tournament you’ve earned no favorable draw. And 1 win doesn’t erase that. The current format is a good way to get two top 8 teams I a sup regional elimination while 2 mediocre at best teams play to advance. Makes for a worse CWS field and we should want the best field we can get.
we didn't have RM the last time we played them in a series. If we can give the starting pitchers run support, we can take a series from UGA
Well the absolute best way to do it is to get rid of the regional bracket and the college world series bracket, and make the whole tournament a best of 3 series and play them at neutral sites. Get rid of conference tournaments and this format would only extend the season one more game. And of course re-seed. I think we can all agree this gives the absolute best chance of crowning the theoretical 'best' champion.
But we've got a good system that everyone is used to, plus we all want to have fun with it and Omaha is a tradition. Sometimes the 'best' team doesn't win, who cares. No sense is 17ing with that for some misplaced idealism. We all know college sports is a big racket anyway.
They aren't winning a natty
Probably not, but they're probably better than the Ole Miss team that did.
How many of us have said that before?They aren't winning a natty
Whoa now.
That 2022 team was damn good. Should have been a national seed on paper, but they just 17ed around all year. I knew that when they slid in the tourney they were dangerous. They benefitted from a lot of age (from COVID) similarly to us.
It really 17ing sucks because after we took that series from them in 2022 I felt like we were about to bury them for good. They were reeling, and it seemed we had turned the corner. Then I believe they beat us in the Pearl game and the rest is the most Miss Stake bullshlt that can ever be comprehended.
Yeah we shall see how good RM is tonight.
With or without 3 healthy pitchers, UGA will out hit State. We got a terrible draw.

One thing to consider tonight. We should score a lot of runs. We got 10 yesterday and should have got more. And that was vs their #2 starter. We’ll be facing either Cincy or ULL #4 tonight.
I predict some pain for us over the next few weeks, even though we hosted and will likely win tonight.
We'll move on and play Georgia and lose. No shocker there. Ole Miss may very well win too, and host the super and win it. And then I hate Alabama baseball too (I think Ole Miss, Alabama and Auburn are the biggest threats to our continued higher baseball 'status') and it appears their draw just eased up with FSU maybe going down. So we're going to have to ride this out and hope one of those teams don't win it all. And they'll definitely get the press coverage that we won't.
But I also don't want to see Georgia or Florida win it and have more titles than us. A&M either.
But at minimum, at least one of Ole Miss/Auburn will be eliminated, and appears Arkansas is on the ropes.
I guess I'm for Texas first, then Georgia Tech I suppose. I don't want to see Oregon win it because I like Oregon State and hate the card they've been dealt.
Anyways, if we survive all that, I do think good times are ahead.
I don’t think it’s healthy to obsess about others. To each their own.
We just need to win.
I've always supported re-seeding for the Super Regional round, regardless if it happens to benefit us or hurt us in any particular year.
It should be really hard for a mediocre team to make it to Omaha. Like yes, go on the road to top teams 2 straight weekends and win if you had a bad regular season.

I don't think you're the right one to be talking about health, man. You really need some help.
State is winning their regional. I'm saying.. tonight may be the start/game that gets RM back in #1 shape for the UGA series.
We will need two shut down pitching performances in Athens to win 2. ..and by shut down I mean holding UGA under 5 runs.

Hope you’re right, but I think that our bullpen is going to be our ultimate demise this postseason, and last night didn’t do a dang thing to make me feel any better. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a pen chock full of so many capable arms, and yet not a soul that we can consistently rely on to come in for a couple shutdown innings

For the record, surely Auburn's 4th and 5th starters will win over Milwaukee's 3rd and 4th starters. Auburn had 0 Q3/Q4 losses throughout the whole regular season.
I'm less concerned about Ole Miss winning than I am Auburn losing today. Imagine an MSU alum handing UM 2 natties in 4 years.
Upsets happen. We don’t reseed in basketball just because a lower seed won a game. No need to do it in baseball either
