Can’t blame ‘zona. The Beavs screwed the pooch in game one.

If the Beavs would have handled furd we wouldn't be having this talk right now. Yeah, if you go 2-0 in your pool you're advancing. Going 1-1 was always going to be precarious. |

What kind of tournament has a team going home with a 1-1 record and a team advancing with the same record. That's some kind of bulls%#t right there. You’re obviously not paying attention. As many here have stated, this is the simplest, most fair, and overall best playoff format there is. I know because I thought otherwise, and was rebuffed by many. |

Winning today did nothing for us. That's stupid.

Not sure what you are missing here but winning today gave the Beavs an outside chance of getting into the semis as the wildcard with an AZ win. Since AZ went 1-1, they take the wildcard position because they were the highest seeded team that did not win their pool. If the Beavs would have gone 2-0 in their pool and AZ was 1-1, they would still be the wildcard. This really is an easy and fair tournament format. Regionals and Omaha are a double elimination format. |

For eff sake the setup is the setup. It's a known set of facts, it's not opinion of some committee or rule change. And... technically it's not a tournament until tomorrow. It's pool play followed by a single elimination tournament. Other conferences have 1 loss and your out 1st rounds without even being guaranteed two games. OSU controlled its own destiny... all season long. Win the Pac12 get a #1 seed and 1 win guarantees you the semis. Beat the #8 seed by scoring just 3 runs and they are in the semis. |

The format the last two years also limits the amount of games that can be played, which I'm sure coaches for teams in the tournament don't mind.
In 2022 we were on our 5th game when we played Stanford for the championship.
The day before, we lost 25-22 to UCLA before defeating them 8-7 in the elimination game.

It was the main reason given for changing, plus one extra team got in. Everyone involved was for the change and the setup was really the only option for 9 teams. Can't do more than give the top seeds the tie break advantage. Folks in here complaining about an approved and well known format might as well complain about Colorado not having baseball. Because that meant there weren't 4 three-team pools with different pairings maybe?? Oh wait, only the 4 pool winners advance then so OSU still wouldn't have! |

So why the second game it went no where and we were second seed. But because 1 seed lost they can move on? It wasnt who won then its who had the highest seed and lost?

The format also prevents having to start a game at 10:30pm on two, and possibly three, occasions. |

Totally fine. Go back home and fix the bats before the regional. The issues were the conference loses not the tourney loss to Stanford.

Arizona earned the right to advance because it was better than everyone in the regular season. The regular-season results mattered. Pretty fair IYAM. OTOH, I won't miss the Pac-12, or any other conference tournament, one little bit. It's unnecessary when you play every single opponent in the regular season. The Big 12, Big Ten and SEC are different, because often your W-L record depends significantly on which 4 or 5 teams you missed. |
