This is also what was shown on the LHN broadcast last night.

Home field advantage?

Duke, DBU, Boston College, Indiana State or anywhere on the west coast would be a great draw. Basically just avoid any SEC team.

DBU has a big series with UTSA this weekend that will likely determine if they stay in the hosting convo.

What a joke. We suck but I am confused how we arent in the conversation for hosting. We actually play real teams in the out of conference schedule.

D1 has us now as a 2 seed at #4 Arky

WV the 7 overall seed so winning 2/3 or 3/3 changes stuff next weekend. Let’s get this sweep of SJSU first though 

[Hookem2147 21374]

I'm confused on how they move teams around in these projections. Last week they had us as the #2 seed in a regional with the 15th overall seed, we go 3-1 while improving our RPI a few spots and somehow we get moved to way more difficult regional.

[UTPhil2006 3821]

Neither BA or D1 know shit. They wildly change their rankings and projections. But WV is good so wins next weekend will go a long way

Clickbait....pretty much it. Creates conversation and subscriptions.

……Creates conversation……

Like preseason football pollls.

And I’m ok with it. Adds passion to it.

we had a real simple way to avoid being in this situation.

and that was to not get swept at home, by the fucking sooners, for the first time in 25 fucking years.

Recap on how Flores did ?

[shadow_operative2.0 16046]

4-5, 2 GS, 3 SB, flawless in the field.

Let’s get a bit literal here.

Sweeping KU. Or BU. Or KSU. TCU even. Or winning 2-3 versus OSU.

Puts us in the same spot as going 1-2, which means not getting swept, versus OU.

And the games against BU, KSU, and OSU we considerably more winnable.

But an emotional fan response is understandable.

And most of the give a damns about finishing 2-3-4 in conference will be forgotten if a CWS berth is achieved.

Hosting a regional is a big step toward that goal, and right now, what this team needs to accomplish to host is pretty much the same thing we would need to accomplish to win the conference regular season.

[Had Enough 2089]

I think our odds would be better of reaching Omaha if we avoid the highest seeds in the super regional even if that means hitting the road for the regional.

I’d rather be paired with the 6-8 super regional as a traveling 2 seed than host the regional and matchup 1-3 in the super.

If we win the conference, I’d be surprise with better than the #12 overall. The chances of a 12-16 seed are pretty good at that point.

We will see before too long.
