3 SEC schools (Florida, South Carolina, Vanderbilt)
2 ACC schools (North Carolina and Virginia)
2 Big-12 schools (Texas and Texas A &M)
1 Pac-10 School (California)

The ACC was lucky to get 2 in as Virginia should have lost today. They were down by 1 with 2 outs and no on. Three hits practically through the pitchers mound game and a walk gave them the win. Florida State was shelled tonight after scoring 23-runs on Sunday. aTm won 11-2 and it really was not that close.

Play begins in the new stadium on Saturday

June 18 2 p.m. Vanderbilt vs. North Carolina ESPN / ESPN3.com
7 p.m. Texas vs. Florida ESPN / ESPN3.com
June 19 2 p.m. California vs. Virginia ESPN / ESPN3.com
7 p.m. Texas A&M vs. South Carolina ESPN2 / ESPN3.com

Of the 3 SEC teams, South Carolina has the easiest path as we now see Virginia's flaws. Has the weak ACC schedule prepared this Hoo team for what they are about to see.

That Saturday bracket is brutal with 4 national seeds with tons of talent.

The teams that struggled the least in Super Region play were South Carolina and North Carolina but both schools dispatched unseeded teams.

Florida had a surprising amount of trouble with Mississippi State but I think they should be favorites just based on their pitching depth.

If Vanderbilt can win game #1 (inexperienced teams often struggle in their first time in Omaha) they may be in good shape.

I see Florida dispatching Texas; South Carolina dispatching aTm; Virginia beating Cal; Vanderbilt beating UNC (in a close game)

Vandy and Cal (the new guys) will be the darlings of Omaha locals.

Vanderbilt has underachieved for too long, they have a good chance of winning this time. If they're going to do it, they need to do it now.

I'm a UT alum but I I'm working on an MD and PhD from UVA right now. Watching that come from behind 2 outs, bottom of the 9th...that's the stuff boyhood sandlot legends are made of. It was incredible to watch! Screamed my head off. That's what I want for Tennessee baseball too.

I hope Vandy could win it all, the rest of the teams are the usual suspects for Omaha. Hope we hire Serrano or Holbrock..and we can make it back in a few years or at least make it to Hoover.:)

there is no easy path at this point.

i wouldn't begin to make predictions as i would only be surprised if cal won the thing.

just hope my school isn't 2 and out.

My gut is saying SC or Vandy but there's something about aTm that I like.

The way you guys are swinging, if that stays around, no one can beat you.

It's going to be a great WS for sure.

...and by the way, I still think Miss. State's 1B coach did that intentionally, may be not trip the kid, but he didn't even attempt to get out of the way.

Judging by your stars and post count, is this the last post we will see from you in a while? I've never seen 6 stars and 8 posts before, well done. We've gotta get you posting more!

...and I agree with you.

This. Going from almost not having a program to the CWS is an amazing story.

The Golden Bears are leading 5-1 in the Top of the 6th.

Anyone else cheering for Cal to win it all?
