Warren Nolan just put his projections out, based on his RPI predictor and rest of the season predictions. They are...

National Seeds
1. Oregon State
2. North Carolina
3. Texas Tech
4. TCU
5. Louisville
6. Florida
7. Clemson
8. Kentucky

Host Sites
Corvallis, OR paired with Fullerton, CA
Lexington, KY paired with Charlottesville, VA
Forth Worth, TX paired with Fayetteville, AR
Louisville, KY paired with Baton Rouge, LA
Chapel Hill, NC paired with Starkville, MS
Clemson, SC paired with Auburn, AL
Lubbock, TX paired with Long Beach, CA
Gainesville, FL paired with Palo Alto, CA

SEC Teams w/seeding & Location
aTm: 2 seed Stanford Regional
South Carolina: 2 seed Clemson Regional
Vanderbilt: 2 seed Louisville Regional
Ole Miss: 2 seed TCU Regional

*Couple of things with this one. I don't think the SEC gets 6 host sites. IF we do, I don't think Auburn hosts over aTm. Auburn has an RPI now at 37 after being swept by one of the worst teams in recent SEC memory. Currently, I am leaning more towards just 5 host sites for the league which would mean Auburn ending up a 2 seed in a regional some place and the other 5 remaining pretty solid right now.

Here is the latest from College Sports Madness

The Rundown: 10 SEC Teams in NCAA Regional
National Seeds: 2

They're a top 10 RPI team and basically control their own destiny. They finish with Florida and can win the league outright by winning that series. So yea, they would definitely get a national seed over State.

It is pretty crazy. Makes me question how teams like Arkansas didn't even pull off a series win vs AU

Don't take your sourness out on me. Auburn now sits at a 37 RPI and is on the outside looking in as far as hosting is concerned. Arkansas garnered plenty by winning a game on the road. It was a 1.3 win boost, which is great when discussing RPI numbers.

Its baseball and shite happens, but there is no excuse losing 3 in a row to Alabama. None.

South Carolina: 2 seed Clemson Regional


Wouldn't be surprised to see the committee continue to be this lazy.

I would think more like Louisville, Winston-Salem, Charlottesville, or Chapel Hill. Though, they may send you guys to Clemson just because they like the "rivalry" hoopla and what not.

Don't see Kentucky getting a national seed unless they sweep this weekend against Tennessee and win 2/3 vs Florida.

The SEC West winner will have presumably 19-20 wins and would have won a deeper division along with the RPI boost.
