mustache eagle 2,402 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Well I’d hate to see auburn as a 2 seed but I guarantee whoever is the 1 seed will hate it more ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the purpose of the delay? negotiation with coaches and ADs about who goes where? 1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. Host sites have always been announced Sunday night. The delay to Monday for the rest is the committee figuring the rest of the at large spots & seeding for the tourney & there not being a rush to do so unlike College Basketball. Delay has nothing to do with negotiations on who goes where. Relevent games that impact the Tourney seeding & placement will be going on til 7 PM tomorrow night at the earliest. With Selection Monday always being the holiday Memorial Day & there being no regional games before the next Friday except years where BYU is in there's no rush to get everything out Sunday.

ellitor 33,093 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 FWIW if D1, BA, or PG does Regional Projections sometime tomorrow afternoon I'm sure I, @boomstick, or @Brad_ATX will post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stetson beat Jacksonville and then Jacksonville lost to N Florida to get eliminated from the ACCT. Duke lost and was eliminated. NC State lost and was eliminated from the ACCT. UCLS lost to Oregon State. Texas Tech is losing to WVU in the 6th. Follow up here. ECU drubbed AAC 1 seed Houston 12-1 so hoping they drub UConn too hurting UConn's chances since the the drubbing probably put ECU in. Tech was blasted by WVU 12-4 Games today that may effect home sites & seeding: ECU-UConn: AAC Championship Coastal Carolina-South Alabama: Sun Belt Semis. USA has to beat CCU 2 times to eliminate them. Minnesota-Ohio St: Big Ten Semis. Ohio St has to win 2 times to eliminate Minnesota. Stetson-North Florida: A-Sun Championship. UNF has to win 2 times to eliminate Stetson. UCLA @ Oregon St. FWIW IMO It comes down to ECU, UConn, NC St, Minnesota, Texas, AU, Coastal Carolina, & UCLA. 8 teams battling for the last 5 host spots. If UCLA gets swept today by Oregon St I don't see them being a host but as Power of Dixie will tell you they still may be for geographic balance.

ellitor 33,093 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 So FWIW Kendall Rogers & Aaron Fitt at D1Baseball are very good at this. I looked at their last projection last season. They got all 16 hosts right & every host pairing right. The only thing off was they had LSU as #3 overall, Texas Tech #4 overall & UF #5 overall. Actual was #3 Florida, #4 LSU, & #5 Tech.

ellitor 33,093 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Interesting tweet from Teddy Cahill, Baseball America's college baseball analyst... Quote @tedcahill 5h5 hours ago I appreciate the effort of the @AuburnBaseball graphics department. I also really like the Tigers' regional hosting case. If y'all haven't figured it out I want us to host really bad. I need the money from the work I would get from AU getting a regional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
