It would be a lot better to host a regional/super regional, but I'm afraid that ship has sailed unless they can win the tourney in Hoover. Then they might have an argument, but that's still a big maybe.

Going to Texas doesn't sound very promising, but you never know.

The committee is gonna frown on the way we ended the last half of the season. No way around it. Doyle with the blister, AJ, the errors defensively, so…we deserve a tough road and it seems like that’s exactly what we’re gonna get. Make some noise in Hoover…it usually comes down to how yer playing right now.

Anyone else headed to Hoover? I hate that it’s single elimination and I think it’s going to prevent a lot of fans from all teams traveling.

I had been hoping this would be the year. Live less than an hour from The Met, but I havent recovered from back surgery in early March. I'm currently in rehab and will be finishing this session in June but I am having dificulties walking or standing without pain for a very limited period of time. Funny thing is that my suregeon's office is in the shadow of the Met/

I will be watching. GBO!!!!!

Sorry to hear about your troubles my friend. Some things are more important than baseball. Stick to the plan, there’s always next year. Get better!

This season is insane.

Any other season and a team like Tennessee that struggled down the stretch would be just hoping to stay within 1000 miles of campus for tourney.

However, so many quality and historically good programs have also struggled that this team could reasonably host a regional next week.

In particular, the ACC is making it very hard for the committee as their champ was unranked until this week. They look to host 4 regionals and that may be a stretch as FSU and Clemson actually failed to live up to their experience and talent.. Louisville tanked, Virginia tanked. Miami tanked. Duke struggled, Wake Forest and NC State were consistent. Notre Dame has no business in tourney field.


In no other season would Southern Miss have a chance in hell to host.
Coastal Carolina has feasted on ACC weaknesses
Oregon and UCLA would not be hosting if they were still in Pac10 but in B1G they loo better than they area.
TCU is the only Big12 school with a pulse as West Virginia flatlined losing 8 of 11 some mediocre competition.

Long story short, the NCAA tourney will be a complete crap shoot. With their injury and depth, I don't believe Texas has a snow ball's chance to win it all.
LSU with all their talent has underperformed and any other season would not be a top-8 seed.
The draw will be more important than ever as a mid major's #1 or 2 starter will beat a lot of host teams.

DBU would be salivating to play Texas
Columbia would love a shot at Georgia Tech
Kansas would stun nobody by winning in Fayetteville.

And a P5 team that barely gets in as a #3 seed (Ole Miss in 2022) has a shot at it all.

And what if Texas A&M gets their **** together this week and earns their way into NCAA tourney? What host would want to see the Aggies come to town?

True. There are several possible 2/3 seeds that nobody wants to host. Gators are as hot as any team in baseball rights now. Vols rest and recoup a bit. I promise you nobody wants either of those teams on their campus next week.

I know @VolPack22 doesnt want to hear this, but I was just thinking about the Gators this morning.
They have the talent to make some serious noise.
