With only 10 games left to play. the Beavs start the final push for NCAA tournament play. D1 College Baseball is predicting six teams from the PAC-12 Conference will participate in this years quest for the title. Here are PAC-12 teams and there predicted destinations.
PITTSBURGH REGIONAL: #1 Pitt hosts, and UCLA has a #2 seed in the Steel City.
OREGON REGIONAL: The #1 Ducks host #2 seed Gonzaga, #3 seed Kentucky and #4 seed Northeastern in Eugene.
STANFORD REGIONAL: #1 Stanford hosts #2 UC-Irvine, #3 UConn, and #4 Nevada in Palo Alto.
ARIZONA REGIONAL: #1 Wildcats host #2Baylor, #3Virginia Tech and #4 Grand Canyon in Tucson.
TEXAS TECH REGIONAL: #1 Red Raiders host #2 Arizona State, #3 Iowa and #4 Wright State in Lubbock.
TCU REGIONAL: #1 Texas Christian host #2 Oregon State, #3 Dallas Baptist and #4 SUNY-Stony Brook in Ft. Worth.
* I've looked at multiple Region site forecasts from several sources, and Ft. Worth seems to be a popular location to place the Beavers.

Wow, ucla gets Pitt and we get TCU? TCU is #4 RPI and ranked #6 on D1 currently. Pitt is #27 RPI (we are #24) and ranked 16.....on paper seems like a much better draw for ucla

Anyone playing in TCU's Regional has a problem. The Horned Frogs are a very good baseball team.

Pitt is #27 RPI (we are #24) and ranked 16.....on paper seems like a much better draw for ucla Baseball is weird, because they tend to ignore the S curve. It would make more sense, if Oregon State went to Pittsburgh and UCLA went to Fort Worth. Arizona State going to Lubbock makes a lot of sense, because of proximity. That seems more likely to me. Still, playing Dallas Baptist and TCU? It might be fun to start up the 2018 revenge tour again. Dallas Baptist eliminated Oregon State in 2015 and TCU eliminated Oregon State in 2009. I personally think that Oregon State would match up better with Texas Tech than Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh more than TCU. TCU is a great baseball team. |

I guess this makes sense to me that UCLA would go there and we go to TCU. They are ranked higher in every poll and beat us in head to head series so would only make sense that they would be seeded as a higher #2 seed and therefore travel to a lower ranked #1 seed

I spose they are considering ROS as well......I hope we play better than expected and get a better draw.....one of the 8-16 regional hosts maybe |

And in the anti-Pac-12 conspiracy department, they have Arizona as the #8 national seed and Stanford as the #9 national seed for that Super Regional match up to guarantee that one Pac-12 team won't make it to Omaha.
The o is a #11 national seed matched up opposite of Tennessee at #6.
TCU's regional is opposite of Florida, 5 v 12.
Pittsburg (featuring UCLA) with Vanderbilt, 15 v 2.
Texas Tech (featuring ASU) with Notre Dame, 10 v 7.

Ultimately just gotta play well the next few weekends and get in the tournament.....and pray Melton is back 100% and that Abel can somehow channel his 2018 ( or as near as possible) self |

these are all just projections...Regional sites are still TBD, right? Yes....I thought they were announcing the potential 20 sites on the 10th, narrow down to 16, but I've seen nothing |

'Week of the 10th' whatever that means... Ok gotcha....I was fixated on the date @ftd Kendall Rogers is reporting that we should expect the 20 NCAA Regional Host options on the 13th or 14th. In other news, LSU beat Louisiana Tech in a mid-week game, which helped Oregon State to pass both Southern Miss and Louisiana Tech (narrowly) into 24th. The Beavers need Utah to beat Utah Valley tonight to stay ahead of Louisiana Tech, though. |
