I think it's important to remember that the Beavers have a bit of an advantage being a known brand. They know that if they select the Beavers to host, Goss will be pretty filled with knowledgeable and decent fans. They know that the Beavs are a respected team and with a decent shot at Omaha.
We've got a lot going for us, perhaps more than any other Pac 12 team. At this point, I'd be surprised not to be hosting, but we still have a few games left to play and the Beavs cannot screw these up.

On the other hand, NCAA baseball is perpetually obsessed with expanding baseball's brand. Goss Stadium will host a great regional. That is known. But the Committee is always trying to hand out host spots to teams that have not hosted in a long time or ever. Goss Stadium hosted last year. |

On the flip side, some ballparks are not really "nice" enough for a regional. |

Let's break it down.
9 Locks (Doesn't matter what they do, they will host)
Kentucky RPI 1 D1 rank 19
Wake RPI 2 D1 rank 1
S Carolina RPI 3 D1 rank 13
Arkansas RPI 4 D1 rank 2
LSU RPI 5 D1 rank 5
Florida RPI 6 D1 rank 4
Vandy RPI 7 D1 rank 12 (They might move into the Likely category since they seem to be falling lately)
Clemson RPI 7 D1 rank 7
Stanford RPI 15 D1 rank 3
3 Likely (Likely will host unless they really crap the bed) I predict all of these teams host.
Virginia RPI 9 rank 21
Coastal Carolina RPI 10 D1 rank 8
West Virginia RPI 17 D1 rank 6
Best shot at the remaining 4 spots
Connecticut RPI 25 D1 rank 9 (I think they need help to get it)
Campbell RPI 22 D1 rank 14 (See UConn)
East Carolina RPI 19 D1 rank 15 (This could come down between us and them for the last spot)
Beavs RPI 27 D1 rank 10 (Need to win final 4 games and get out of Pod. #2 in Pac-12 is desirable)
Tennessee RPI 23 D1 rank 18 (Very hot, I think they get 1 of spots unless the crap the bed down the stretch.)
Dallas Baptist RPI 16 D1 rank 17 (I think they grab another host mainly because there are not any Texas or Midwest hosts.)
Longer shots. They may have the RPI, but their body of work is lacking.
Alabama RPI 11 D1 rank NR
Duke RPI 12 D1 rank 16
Boston College RPI 14 D1 rank 22
Indiana St RPI 13 D1 rank NR
Miami RPI 18 D1 rank 11
UW RPI 32 D1 rank 24 (If they win out, they have a shot at the expense of the Beavs)
If we get a host, I expect to have UC Irvine or UC Santa Barbara as 3 seed and travelling ACC or SEC team as 2 seed.

Is hosting really all that important? Last year, the Pac 12 tourney was a rough ride, particularly with the long games taxing our pitchers. I don't exactly want to go into regionals losing, but neither do I want to go in riding on fumes. It was a disadvantage, I think, last year. |

I am not even sure that Kentucky hosts. They have that monster RPI, but are only 15-12 in the SEC and only 35-15 overall. The Wildcats need to do well down the stretch to earn a Regional Host spot. Someone could still see Kentucky as a two-seed, if things go sideways for the Wildcats. South Carolina is in a better but similar spot. 15-11 in the SEC and 37-14 overall means that you probably have an inside track, but you still have work to do. Virginia, Boston College, Duke, and Miami are all in similar spots. They have the RPI to be talked about, but they still need to get to 17 conference wins; otherwise, that is a tough sell. Anyone with 14 conference losses is probably a non-starter absent a monster conference tournament. Washington plays California in Seattle. The Huskies need sweep to avoid a pretty hefty RPI drop. |

Just keep winning, Beavers. That is all I know. At the same time, the Willy-Irimi conversation explodes my mind. There has been a big push to help the Historic Black schools, but if you schedule one of those schools, you are punished??? That in itself is screwed. Go Beavers.

Tonight’s loss has blew it. Will be 2nd or 3rd seed on the road somewhere. Bad loss tonight. Must sweep Western Carolina and do well in the conference tourney for 2nd seed.

d1 projections just out...Welcome to Corvallis! d1baseball.com/projections/d1baseball-field-of-64-projections-may-17/In terms of new hosts in the 9-16 range, it’s been a revolving door with at least a couple of teams over the past few weeks. This week, Connecticut and Boston College are no longer hosts, and instead, Oregon State and Virginia entered as hosts. The Beavers don’t have a great RPI, which is around 30, but are right there with Washington as the second-place Pac-12 team. We believe they will be in close-enough range to be a Top 16 seed. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers had a strong weekend and continue to have a very good RPI to go with a strong ACC record. I like how OSU is matched up with the #1 overall seed. Its not like #1 wins the whole thing, so why not be the team that continues it? |
