Each double-elimination round could require 4 wins if you end up in the loser's bracket. So 10-12, depending...
GO BEAVS!

Each double-elimination round could require 4 wins if you end up in the loser's bracket. So 10-12, depending... GO BEAVS! For a team that has won 16 in a row , and 23 in a row, it is definitely do-able. Who is going to beat us twice? Fixed. TCU (2009), Vanderbilt (2011), LSU (2012), Mississippi State (2013)? Oregon State is just lucky that UC Irvine finished with a losing record. In one eight-game span, the Beavers lost to Washington 3-2, UCLA 7-1, and USC 7-5. If that Oregon State shows up twice in the Corvallis Regional, Corvallis Super Regional or the College World Series, Oregon State goes home without hardware. When the Beavers are on, they are unbeatable. They went 16-0 and 23-0. However, outside of those two streaks, Oregon State is a much more pedestrian 10-4. The committee is probably going to award Oregon State the #1 overall seed. That is a huge target on the Beavers' backs. An underrated Anteater team was able to hit that target in 2014. Let's hope that all of the guys are ready to roll with the best haymakers that the other 63 teams can throw. |

Extrapolate 10-4 = 40-16. Hardly pedestrian.
That record would still rank in the top ten in the country.

Extrapolate 10-4 = 40-16. Hardly pedestrian. That record would still rank in the top ten in the country. Negative. That record (.714) would rank 14th. Oral Roberts is 42-14 (.750) and is a four-seed. Illinois-Chicago is 38-15 (.717) and is a four-seed. St. John's is 42-11 (.792) and a three-seed. Michigan is 42-15 (.737) and a three seed. Virginia is 42-14 (.750) with a better strength of schedule and is a two-seed. Southern Miss is 48-14 (.774) with a better strength of schedule than Oregon State and is not a national seed. The only national seed that has a record worse than (.714) is LSU, who went 42-17 (.712) and went a perfect 4-0 at Hoover and who is on an 11-game winning streak (and who played the nation's eighth-hardest schedule). |
