May 30, 20223 yr Shit, I was hoping UGA would be shipped to Corvallis. They haven't played a non-con game outside GA or a neighboring state for a decade.
May 30, 20223 yr 3 minutes ago, BERT said: Why would a 4 seed save there #1 guy? 4 seeds we have faced the last two times we’ve hosted have thrown their #2 against us. If I’m a coach I don’t want to burn my best arm against a team I’m obviously overmatched against. Want your best arm moving you to 2-0 or keeping your season alive.
May 30, 20223 yr They gave aggy the overall 5 seed but also gave them one of the tougher draws IMO. Oral Roberts as a 4 seed is tough and TCU has it's flaws but they still won the Big 12. TCU was a borderline host. Then they gave them Louisville in the Supers who is a consistent CWS team and finished top 20 in RPI. That is far from a cakewalk. Edited May 30, 20223 yr by Rickylovesweed

If you're overmatched then you aren't winning and will not be 2-0
May 30, 20223 yr We got a really good draw if we can just beat Air Force. Dallas Baptist as a 2 is a gift. They've really struggled to end the year. Finished with 4 losses, 1 tie, and 1 win in the last 6 games.
May 30, 20223 yr Not a bad draw all things considered after flailing to end the season. Arky will be tough, their fans will be insufferable.

May 30, 20223 yr Wonder if WV pitcher who struck out Ivan in the 3rd inning of a tie game is still celebrating?

One regional gets the Campbell Camels as their 3-seed. One gets Tech, plus Notre Dame as a 2. Something's wrong with that. Aggy's regional looks even more brutal.

May 30, 20223 yr Jeez, the SEC may have gotten overseeded, but they got some really tough draws. I think aggy has the toughest regional in the country 1-4; if not aggy, then UF. 1-3, the toughest might be Auburn, maybe Maryland. Plus Vandy getting shipped to Corvallis.
May 30, 20223 yr Those teams don't have much of a fanbase. We should have a pretty dominant home field advantage next weekend.

If I was on my computer, I’d do the work to rank the regional by W/L and RPI average (and RPI average of the top 3) but my ass ain’t doing work today

May 30, 20223 yr What happened to Thursday-Saturday regionals? No way Hansen does not start against Air Force. Zero.
May 30, 20223 yr 9 minutes ago, Saint Tacky said: What games did aggy cancel l? Some midweek game late in the year. TCU did the same thing. Tarleton State or somebody like that.
May 30, 20223 yr 2 minutes ago, Spencer said: Surely you jest... That's easily one of the toughest draws. It is. 2 seed (Big 12 champions) 3 seed (ULL beat two top 15 teams just this weekend) 4 seed (Oral Roberts is one of the toughest 4s) As stated above, you can make an argument that aggy got the toughest draw 1-4. Maybe the NCAA did punish them for their bullshit but it just wasn't based on the seeding. Edited May 30, 20223 yr by Rickylovesweed
May 30, 20223 yr Honestly shocked we ended up with a national seed, but I’ll take it. Our draw is pretty tough - Arky, Grand Canyon… even Missouri State can sneak up on you. Saw they put TCU in College Station. Hopefully we get the annual “TCU shatters Aggy dreams” situation again.

May 30, 20223 yr We will cruise to 2-0 behind Gordon, Hansen and our offense. Then we will be vulnerable. Need to hit.

May 30, 20223 yr Yeah, I've been really confused. I thought the national seeds were the top 8, but the term has been used these last days for the host sites, including by the NCAA itself and the talking heads.

May 30, 20223 yr We will have to find a way to get some runs against Skenes. He is legit and the type of guy we’ve struck out 13 times against this year.

Maybe we should refer to the top 8 as “super seeds” since they host supers? I personally always say “seeded teams” for top 16 and “national seeds” for top 8.
