San Diego knocks off Gonzaga......dang still hoping that they host....don’t want to see em our regional much I don’t either, but if I had to pick between them and GCU I’d take the Bulldogs. But why? List of teams that are top 20 in the country in both ERA and Fielding Percentage: Arkansas, Gonzaga, Notre Dame, Oregon State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt. Rankings schmankings. Those are the most consistently great teams in the country. You don't want to play any of those six. The most consistently fundamentally-sound baseball. Runs at a premium. Absolutely no room for error. Fortunately, the Beavers cannot play themselves. But Oregon State does not want any of the other five to show up in a Corvallis Regional. Gonzaga or Texas Tech are two two-seeds that I really, really, really do not want to see in the Corvallis Regional announcement on Monday. |

I think they’re a dangerous team with a big chip on their shoulder, relishing a chance to prove they belong. No bigger target than Oregon State. Just a personal feeling. |

Neither TT nor Gonzaga has seen the level of competition they'll see in the regionals (SOS around #60 nationally). I'm not so sure they're quite the threat they seem to be at this point....
