Could be, maybe the #s on Baseball America's scoreboard are rankings, not seedings. If so, my apologies. Florida winning its regional does not change my opinion that it did not belong in the field. Got an opportunity it did not deserve, and took advantage of it. Sort of like the Beavs in 2007. We were 36-19 in 2007 in the regular season. Florida was 28-27 in the regular season. We were 21-5 OOC; Florida was 15-10. We swept a road series at Georgia, won OOC games against ASU and Missouri and went 4-2 vs. SEC/Big 12 competition, all on the road/neutral site. Florida was 0-4 vs. top-conference opposition. We fully deserved our berth. Florida didn't. |

Each super regional includes at least one #1 seed. It honestly sets up pretty well to possibly have the whole Omaha field be #1 seeds.
Also, not a single #2 seed advanced. I’d bet that’s never happened before using this format. Crazy.

The only reason that the Beavs did not go to the Tourney in 2008? Overall record. Florida did not deserve a berth at 28-27. |

I’d bet that’s never happened before using this format. Crazy. Yes, it is the first time that no single #2 seed advanced. The last time that only one advanced was 2021, when NC State won the Ruston Regional. |

For those who put lots of weight on seedings (#1s have obvious advantage in the regionals) UK and OSU are both 1's Tennessee and Evansville is a 1 vs 4 Virgina vs Kansas St is a 1 vs 3 Georgia vs NC State is 1 vs 1 Clemson vs Florida is 1 vs 3 Texas vs uo is 1 vs 3 FSU vs TBD is 1 vs 1 or 2 West Virginia vs TBD is a 3 vs 1 or 2 Right now our series is the only 1vs1 SR. FSU vs the Okies could be 1 vs 1 but UO has to still win 1 more (vs Uconn a 2) Just an observation...not drawing any conclusions, etc. For those who put lots of weight on RPI:The Kentucky - OSU Super is the toughest overall (combined RPI of 13) The Tennessee - Evansville has the greatest RPI difference between the teams (#1 vs. #58); TexAM vs. ducks is 2nd largest discrepancy (#3 vs. #40). Only 3 Supers feature both teams in the top 25 RPI (Lexington, Athens, Clemson). Just an observation...not drawing any conclusions, etc. |

We fully deserved our berth. Florida didn't. Noticed you glossed over our conference record. We were the last team in in 2007. We were four games under in conference (10-14), the same as Florida (13-17). By every other reliable metric (RPI is not), our credentials in 2007 far ouclassed Florida's in 2024. Supposedly we were the last team in. We clearly deserved it. The fact we were almost the last team in, even with our credentials, is a product of a system biased against the West Coast. The fact a 28-27 2024 Florida team that was under .500 in conference, winless in its conference tournament and winless OOC against power-conference competition wasn't even one of the last four in is further evidence of the extreme advantage teams from the SEC have over the rest of college baseball. |

Florida finished 13-18 in conference play, when you include the SEC Tournament loss, and got swept in three games against Florida State. Florida also dropped a home game to Power Five UCF. 2007 Oregon State went 11-14 against Pac-10 opponents with a "nonconference" 12-4 weekend win over Pac-10 Champion Arizona State in Surprise. Oregon State also swept Georgia in Athens. 2008 Oregon State is also galling, seeing Florida in the Tournament. Oregon State went 11-14 against Pac-10 opponents. Oregon State beat Georgia at a neutral site series in Portland. Oregon State also swept now Power Five BYU in Provo. |
