So it looks likely that the tournament will end up being #1 vs. #2...maybe #3.
Did it help anybody? What's the point?

It helped OSU solidify the top 8 spot, and it kept o from hosting a regional.

On the beavers side it probably helped Jaren Hunter, Jabin Trosky, the coaching staff and Mike Parker’s pay check.
Joking aside the only benefits I can see are development, experience in tourneys, and maybe some momentum. There will be a year when a non-post season team gets a birth and that will be good for the conference. It could also push a team up to being a host/nat seed. This year it looks like the most likely outcome where the best teams win unless they fall flat on purpose.
I think if they got a two park solution the fans would win. I’ve had baseball on for 3 days and my work productivity is up like 20%.

Or because of predictions ucks were hosting. The committee looks at lots of info. The ucks injured staff and poorly attended games would be factors. They were very borderline at best. Plus I'm seriously doubting the Pac12 would get 4 of the hosting spots as Zona and UCLA are better, more highly thought of. This tourney could have only hurt OSU after their conference finish. |

No longer does OSU have to schedule a 4 game series against Bryant or Texas Abilene Christian who boast 200+ RPIs. A large part of why we have the #2 RPI rating is because we avoided those kinds of series. |
