re: Do NCAA baseball titles really count?

I know OP isn't looking for a legit answer, but here it goes anyway. The regional and super regional format is necessary for baseball where you really can't play any more than 2 games per day in any one park. Imagine if the tournament was conducted like the basketball tournament and there was 4 games to be played yesterday in Alex Box. The entire tournament would be fricked with rain and games being delayed. In basketball, they know that they can get 4 games a day in at any particular site.

I guess you could have the regionals and super regionals played at neutral sites, but the only neutral sites would be minor or major league parks where conflicts would arise.

Or you could just have an 8 team world series to be more like the college football playoff, but I like the field of 64 much better, and it tends to lead to a true champion. Unlike football, there are many smaller schools capable of making some serious noise come tournament time.
