Am I looking at the bracket correctly?
They put all PAC12 schools on the same side of the bracket
No chance of PAC12 final

Am I looking at the bracket correctly? They put all PAC12 schools on the same side of the bracket No chance of PAC12 final You are looking at the bracket correctly. All of the Big West teams are also on the same side of the bracket. The last time that that happened was 2007. The four College World Series participants on one side of the bracket were Oregon State, Cal State Fullerton, Arizona State, and UC-Irvine. The four on the other side were Rice, Louisville, North Carolina, and Mississippi State. Someone was joking that it was an East Bracket and a West Bracket. Oregon State beat the three western teams and then destroyed #3 North Carolina 11-4 and 9-3, becoming the first College World Series team to win four straight games by at least six runs. The last time the championship game featured two Pac-10 teams was 1998, the last year of the 6-Pac and the last year that the field was limited to 48 teams. |

All of the Big West and Pac-12 teams are in seeds 1, 5, and 8. The westernmost team in the two four-seed regionals is Rice. |

Aren't the teams re-seeded/re-organized for the CWS? I see that the CWS just has "Bracket 1" and "Bracket 2", with no exact connection from the SR's.
Seems like this question comes up every year, but I can never remember the answer...

Another way of looking at this is that they didn't ship any west coast teams back east to deal with time changes and jet lag. We haven't fared too well when shipped to places like Nashville, Baton Rouge, Gainesville, etc. (Charlottesville being the exception).

Seems like this question comes up every year, but I can never remember the answer... From 1988-1998, the eight regional winners were seeded 1-8 after the Regionals (there were no Super Regionals yet) concluded. (For example, in 1998, five one-seeds won and were seeded 1-5. Two three-seeds won and were seeded 6 and 7. One four seed won and was seeded 8th.) The tournament then continued with 1, 4, 5, and 8 on one side of the bracket and 2, 3, 6, and 7 on the other side of the bracket. Since 1999, there is no re-seeding after the Regionals are set. The 1, 4, 5, and 8 national seeds and the Regionals paired with those seeds are on one side of the bracket and the 2, 3, 6, and 7 seeds and the Regionals paired with those seeds are on the other side of the bracket. |

All of the teams west of Norman that are still alive are in Corvallis, Long Beach, Lubbock, and Stanford this weekend. |

You are good...How well did we fare being shipped East in 2007? |

You are good...How well did we fare being shipped East in 2007? That would the Charlottesville exception I referenced. My point was that Charlottesville 2007 is the only time in our program's entire history that we have advanced in the tournament when games were played away from Corvallis. Playing closer to home I would think is an advantage for everyone. I'm sure FAU and Coastal Carolina gripe about always getting matched up with SEC schools as well. Also, if there were 8 PAC 12 schools in the tournament, I would imagine some would've ended up on the other side of the bracket. Sadly, there were only four, and two earned hosting honors. |

How about as recent as 2015 VA winning a CA regional. Just that it can happen. Baseball seems to be very fickle. Especially college baseball. Just over half of the top-8 teams make it to Omaha. Something like 6 of the last 10 champions were even a National top 8 seeds.(from regergitating the selection show stats.) |
