This conference will be tough going forward. Stanford and Arizona are young...ASU is a sleeping giant. This conference was solid this year,with Arizona and Stanford peaking it appears. Thought ASU is going through a coaching change. |

Arizona is in trouble with their pitch-by -committee approach tonight. Two of their key arms are suspended,and I haven’t seen that the suspensions have been lifted.

Randy Abshier and Gil Luna have been placed on interim suspension by the UA's dean of students office after a recent off-campus incident involving other university students. The two were deemed to have violated the student code of conduct. |

Watching Gilbert with Tennessee with 60 RBI's and Susac being PAC 12 frosh of the year,I have to think what could have been. Both were commits...oh well Also another freshman, Hunter Haas, who flipped to ASU. Played 3B, batted .304 with 29 RBIs and only 25 strikeouts in 214 ABs. |

In OMAHA: 3 - SEC 2 - PAC 12 2 - ACC 1 - Big 12 The Southeastern Conference (SEC) leads the way with nine teams selected. The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) has eight participants, the Pac-12 has six participants and the Big 12 and Conference USA each have four teams in the field. The Big Ten Conference has three teams while the American Athletic, Atlantic Sun, Big South, Big West, Metro Atlantic and Missouri Valley all have two teams in the field. SEC: 3/9 ACC: 2/8 Pac: 2/6 Big12: 1/6 |

All three SEC teams in Omaha just had to win five home games. Mississippi State got outscored by Notre Dame in Starkville but still managed to eke out a one run win on Saturday. The Bulldogs are trash and never should have been a top eight team over the Irish. That is mularky. And then talking up Mississippi State, because they managed to win five home games. Garbage, stupid rigged garbage.
Arizona won five-of-six. Stanford went to Lubbock to knock off Texas Tech.
Under no circumstances should the SEC have received more than five host sites. That is ridiculous. About as ridiculous is the SEC being gifted four top eight seeds. And now Vandy is basically hosting Arizona in Omaha. The SEC got a ton of unwarranted love past Vandy.
Leiter and Rocker are a helluva 1-2 punch. If Vandy wins the first two, Vandy will have the opportunity to start the pair again and waltz into the Championship Series. Hopefully, Arizona or Stanford can take down the Dores. If you remove Vandy's top-end starters, NC State might be a better team than Vandy (and they proved it against Arkansas), but Leiter and Rocker are tough. If you can knock one out, Vandy is not the best team in the world.
If I am Arizona or Stanford (or NC State or Vandy), just based on what I have seen, I want to play Mississippi State. From what I saw, that team is trash. Get them out of Starkville, trash. The thing of it is is that the Bulldogs will be able to muster a lot of fans. Just to make sure that your fans are not completely drowned out, you may want Virginia, hopefully out of the losers' bracket. Texas is a great team that will bring a lot of fans, and Tennessee is only slightly worse than Texas. I want no part of either, if I am on the top half of the bracket. |

The $EC gets preferred seeding, schedules, media, etc. This goes for baseball, basketball, football and softball. With this type of treatment, the $EC should have won 8 of the last 10 CWS championships. I worked in $EC country. Those folks are great people, but they think the $EC is the only conference in the country that plays baseball. They’re overrated. Arkansas, the national number 1 ranked team, won the $EC tourney and gets knocked out by unseeded North Carolina State at their home field. All three $EC teams in Omaha are vulnerable. Arizona looks like they’ve brought an offense that could be a problem for Vanderbilt. |

I would not overlook Stanford. The Cardinal are playing outstanding baseball right now. Beck can match any pitcher in college baseball on the right day. And Tawa had a great regional, even though he scuffled a bit in the Supers.
Notre Dame won the ACC, which got eight teams into the tournament. Not being a national seed was a joke and it probably cost the Irish a CWS bid.

Not being a national seed was a joke and it probably cost the Irish a CWS bid. Notre Dame and Stanford should have both been National Seeds. If you are Stanford, who do you throw against NC State? Do you throw Beck? Or do you save Beck for Arizona-Vandy and throw Williams? Williams would be on full rest, but he did throw 124 pitches in a complete game shutout of Texas Tech. Luke Heimlich threw 124 pitches against Minnesota and then pitched like garbage eight days later against North Carolina and never got right at Omaha. Of course, Williams has only thrown 50 innings this year compared to Heimlich's 120.1 (at the time) in 2018. Personally, I hold NC State in high esteem. I throw Beck and give Williams some time to rest up for Arizona-Vandy. Plus, Williams did better against Arizona than Beck did. (Arizona was arguably Beck's worst conference start of the season.) |
