What Teams Have the Most Pressure on Them in Super Regionals?

What teams have the most pressure to win their supers? Or what fanbase would be the most disappointed if their team fails to advance?
I would argue Wake would be number one. They have their best team in at least 50 years, probably their best ever. They haven’t been to the CWS since 1955. They are the best team, with the best pitching staff, in the country. They are hosting.
Second I would think is LSU. Also hosting. They have the two best players in the country. They were ranked #1 for most of the year.
Third is Florida I think. Also at home. SEC champs. Have a Golden Spikes finalist. But, they are playing a quality South Carolina team.

Probably LSU. Anything less than a CWS final appearance is disappointing with the expectations preseason and most of the regular season. They’ve shifted since our pitching staff saw injuries but I’m looking at whole picture

Most disappointed fanbase by far would be LSU, and its not close.
As for talent not meeting expectations you nailed it with Wake Forest. They are far and away the most complete team.

I agree with all of this

LSU, easily. The tRant will fire every man, woman, and child on the payroll of LSU Baseball if the team doesn't come home with the Howser.

1. LSU solely based on what our fans expect every year.
2. Tenn they didn't make it last year and have a good draw to get there with USM
3. WF...but I could see their fans being happy with their season even if they don't beat bama. Idk why but they seem like Vandy fans

Funny… whenever you call out LSU fans for having unreal expectations they get all pissy.

Definitely would be disappointing to miss out on the CWS playing a team we already beat 2/3 at home and play again at home best 2/3 to get to the CWS. No other way around it. Said before the tournament the regional could be trickier than the supers for LSU in the sense if we lost a game in the regional we would have to play at least 4 games potentially 5 which would expose our lack of depth at pitcher very quickly vs. supers it's best 2/3 so you know you dont go deeper than a 3rd game for the weekend. Not only that, but we just got a team in the supers we've happened to already beat 2/3 so it will be up to them to mix things up and try something different this time around to get 2 wins instead of 1 or none. They basically threw away game 1 against Skenes last time throwing a reliever who had barely pitched in his first start. Let's see if they take a different approach this time.
They did grab the win in game 2 but it was due to a defensive meltdown where 3 errors led to 6 unearned runs that game and LSU lost 13-10.

I would say LSU since they looked so unbeatable earlier in the season. If they can find that magic again they'll roll through the CWS

i wouldnt be surprised if bama beats wake. Bama is playing with house money

Wake would be the most disappointing, but LSU’s under the most pressure.

LSU has assembled the best college baseball team money can buy. I’d say it’s the Tigers and I would be right.

Id say its SC over UF.
we had kids come back to try and make it. We havent been in 10 years. We were having an amazing season before a collapse.

This is true, but USM has to feel some pressure as well after the arse whipping Ole Miss gave them last year at home.

Not Bama.
It's house money at this point, drawing the #1 seed overall only lessens the pressure.
Hope the boys play relaxed, have fun and keep fighting until the end. Miracles happen.
