I'm not one to really call out one of my own but I think we might be letting our bias get in the way of a somewhat good discussion here.
If Ole Miss gets a National Seed it will be a nice congratulations on a damn good season. This doesn't bother me at all like it is many State fans.
The only real thing that would make me care about Ole Miss or where they end up getting their hosting seed, whether national or not, would be if State's path to Omaha somehow runs across theirs. If that happens, we split the four games we played against them this year so it could be anyone's series when and if we did play.
In short, Ole Miss had a pretty good season and if they get a national seed, props to them.

Here here.
I think Ole Miss deserves the national seed, and I think they are going to get it. Jackson State won the SWAC, so that's one team. I figure they will get a regional similar to what State got last year. Someone like Mercer as a 2 seed and a mediocre 3 seed.
I think they will be matched up with one of those Southwest regionals like Oklahoma State, TCU, Houston or Rice, where Mississippi State will be the #2 seed. Setting up the Super Regional that will break every record known to man.
There's about four #2 seeds that will come out of the SEC that are going to make some mediocre host teams shite their pants.
ULL, Oklahoma State, TCU, Houston, Rice, Washington, Cal Poly, Indiana, Florida State - all teams that do not want to see a #2 seed from the SEC.
Virginia always gets a WTF regional of northeast teams, and Liberty seems to be destined to a 2 seed there. Miami and Oregon State are the only two non-SEC hosts that if I want to avoid. Anywhere else and let's play ball.

quote:Not biased at all. Most folks have them in the 13 range on rpi. You don't go from 13 to 8 or 7 without those in front of you totally collapsing and without your rpi improving by beating teams with a lower rpi than you, i.e., Florida, Vandy and to some extent USC.

If they deserve a national seed, congrats to them. I just don't think the numbers prove that out without a whole bunch of unexpected collapses this week.
