D-1 baseball has us not hosting at all

Since the 2018 season where national seeding went from (8) to (16) the "West" coast has never NOT had a hosting team. I would guess unless there is some upset the winner of the Pac12 tourney will be a host in the Top16. Not sure if there would be two as since the Top16 seedings there has not been another host other than a Pac12 team.

2018 (2) #2 Stanford, #3 OSU
2019 (3) #1 UCLA, #11 Stanford, #16 OSU
2020
2021 (3) #5 Arizona, #9 Stanford, #14 Oregon
2022 (2) #2 Stanford, #3 OSU
2023 (1) #8 Stanford

So it is totally possible there will be only (1) seed in the far west.

FWIW....                                                      Top 16 seeds from other conferences

FWIW... while only 32.5% make the CWS, National seeds fill 65% of the CWS slots

Ok... so today's tutoring schedule was slow... and I could not golf until later!

Makes a guy like me wonder why they have the weekly ratings at all.

what he said was they are posting an article on their website tomorrow with their hosting predictions and they have the beavers on the outside looking in

Yea, I think most will pick us to lose the ARZ series. We lose that series we are likely RPI in the 20's and borderline top 15 ranked

In football they perform mental gymnastics accounting for injuries come "playoff" selection time.  We have a solid record as is, have played our way to staying ranked inside the top 10, and done so minus 3 starters (not including pitchers) absent the lineup for much of that record. 

We're a deeper and better team with those guys back and that should be given some consideration.

Another factor I haven't seen mentioned, it's most folks view these selections have some bias to them in favor or setting up the bracket to produce the biggest audiences for the CWS..  I would think from that standpoint you would want to have this years potential #1 mlb pick in the field of 8.
