No western sites. That won't play well with the pundits. Expect to see a renewed push for geography playing a bigger role.

Conference champs in big 5 automatic host?

 

[57stratdawg]

I will be surprised if the SEC gets a non-hosting team in the tournament.

No Western sites? Try no sites outside of the Southeast! That's unexpected.

13 of 16...

TCU, Texas Tech, ULL...

Staggering them so regional hosts of the same conference don't match in Supers is going to be really interesting. Surely they give Tech a national seed across from TCU with no SEC or ACC teams in those regionals...

USM will land in Starkville or Oxford as a #2.

 

[was21]

Doubtful...probably ull or br...

 

[wpmusm]

I think ULL. Starkville or Oxford are definitely possibilities though.

 

[11thEagleFan]

Hopefully we get sent to Lafayette or Oxford. I do NOT want to get sent to Starkville, Gainesville, or College Station, and I'm not just saying that because this is a MSU fan site. Extremely proud of my Eagles. 40 wins and a C-USA title this year is nothing to scoff at. Bats are looking good and the pitching has really come together. 8 times out of 10, USM's resume this year is good for a host spot. I think we'll make some noise depending on where we're sent. But for the love of all things holy, keep us out of Starkville.

I don't want to end up at any SEC site. We always do poorly when we're sent to LSU, OM, Bama, etc.

Give me ULL. If not them, FSU or TCU.

 

[MSUDC11]

If you're not going to let USM host, don't put them in a national seed's regional. That's only fair to me since they were obviously right on the verge along with Coastal Carolina.

Texas Tech and TCU can't be paired, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of them is with ULL.

Also wouldn't be surprised with LSU getting last National Seed and pairing with TCU or Ole Miss getting last and pairing with ULL.

 

[jamdawg96]

Just a guess on seeds/pairings...

1. A&M - TCU
2. Miami - Laffy
3. Florida - FSU
4. Louisville - Vanderbilt
5. State - Virginia
6. Clemson - South Carolina
7. Ole Miss - NC State
8. Texas Tech - LSU

I'd rather be paired with FSU or NC State but the committee is no stranger to repeating Super pairs and this makes a little more sense RPI wise. It'd be nice if they rewarded us a little more for being SEC champs and gave us the #3 seed or higher (in which case we might get paired up with Laffy) but as much as they rewarded RPI with host sites, I'm not getting my hopes up.

Could totally see LSU switch spots with Ole Miss, but Rebs won head to head series and have that non-conf series win over L'ville so I'm going with them. All of the SEC-ACC pairings could get moved around. These are based slightly more on geography, but if they stay truer to RPI, you could see Virginia going to Gainesville and the other two SEC natty seeds (us and OM/LSU) splitting FSU and NC State. Laffy to LSU (if they get a seed) makes sense geographically, but I don't think the top seeded ACC team will get paired with an SEC team.

I hope you get your wish.
