With Kentucky's fall, does State have an opportunity for a national seed?

Auburn can still host if they win the next 2 series. Esp if they sweep them.

UF/UK still easily out in front for a national seed right now in the SEC. MSU really cant afford to trip up @ UGA this weekend and LSU cant either at home against Auburn if either wants a national seed. Both are on the same ground right now. Even if MSU beats UGA, their RPI wont be helped much if any at all.

To me, today it looks like:

National Seed
Oregon State
North Carolina
Texas Tech
Florida
Texas Christian
Louisville
Clemson
Kentucky

Hosts
Virginia
Arizona
Wake Forest
Stanford
West Virginia
Louisiana State
Mississippi State
Missouri State


Just the current picture, last 2 weekends (plus tournaments) could shift that around quite a bit.

We'll drop atleast one or possibly two @ UGA.
That would be a typical State move.
Need to sweep them or obviously get 2/3.

Skepticism and being a state fan go hand in hand.

I continue to expect us to lose every series. I have no clue how this team is winning.

State's done an amazing job holding it together. I think the point of greatest danger for them will be the regional--that's where the lack of pitching depth may really be a problem.

Losing to UGA was a huge setback for UK's national seed hopes. They probably need to win that final series against the Gators in order to get one, in my opinion. We could end up with just one SEC national seed, and three non-national seed hosts. I guess LSU has a theoretical chance to get there, but they'd have to play a little over their heads to win both remaining series. They are good enough to win either of them, but if they play to the norm, they would probably win one and lose the other--they just aren't quite that good this year.

I agree with the Hog fan that there hosting chances are fading a bit--look for the Hogs to get sent to Forth Worth as the 2 seed, and A&M to get sent to Lubbock as the 2 seed.

This would make an intriguing Super Regional match-up should UK not get the national seed.

I'm interested to see if the committee may show favor to a northeastern team, specifically St. John's or Michigan, to host forwarding the agenda of spreading the sport. St. John's have been ranked for much of the season, but don't have the greatest of RPIs.

Your list looks good, though. May get dicey when it comes to how they like to match up Supers by geography versus the rule of not matching up regionals hosted by members of the same conference.
