With 16 seeds instead of 8, and the new rules regarding travel, the NCAA has created a highly likely all Pac-12 Super Regional this year. Does that mean we travel to Stanford, in order to get to Omaha?

Does this mean no more Charlottesville for the Beavers? We enjoyed that trip!
Gainsville......not so much.

Can you elaborate? What are the new rules re: travel? For the first time, there will be 16 Regional seeds, instead of the usual 8. This will ensure that the #1 seed plays the #16 seed, like in the basketball tournament. Last week Baseball America had us as the #10 seed. Our current #10 seed would mean we would be paired with the #7 seed, and go to their house to play. In the past, the NCAA tried to pair Super Regional games along geographic lines. So, my mistake on having to face Stanford. If they keep their current #2 seed, they would face the #15 seed in the Super Regional. |

Does that mean we travel to Stanford, in order to get to Omaha? I could be wrong, but I think that at least internally, they have seeded 16 teams in the past. We knew last year what regional our super regional opponent would come out of if we won our regional, and I don't think location of schools had much if anything to do with it. In past years it has appeared to closely resemble a 16 team bracket based on final RPI positions...1 vs 16 , 8 vs 9 etc...etc Nolans projected season end RPI has us at #4...We would in theory play projected #13...which would be the Arizona Wildcats. |

Don't worry about who plays who in the Super Regional until you win a regional!!

There has been more of an emphasis on the "S" curve in seeding. However, look at Long Beach State and Stanford last year. Stanford was the #8 National Seed. The Dirtbags were much closer to a #16 overall seed than a #9 overall seed. But they both are in California, so they were matched up with the Cardinal. Some other questionable Super Regional pairings: #4 LSU-Southern Mississippi and #7 Louisville-Kentucky. |
