Carolina vs Georgia for the super regional will be a good series.

A frustrating 2-1 loss to FSU in game 7 guaranteed

Don’t bump this when it happens

Well, it'd be odd to see because we are seeded to face the winner of the Tennessee regional

ETA: South Carolina will face the Arizona St regional winner

I think we can safely say at this point that the SEC knows how to play Softball.

Its not like only a few schools play it either, at the Div 1 level 295 schools have softball programs.

Every team made it in and 9 of them are hosting and nationally ranked. That is insane.

The SEC could have up to 7 of 8 teams in the CWS. If all hosts won their regionals, we would be guaranteed at least 2 teams.

What other conference could claim that level of dominance in a sport?

The PAC 12 owns a ton of national titles in Softball but even back when it was them and hardly anyone else playing they weren't this dominant.

Sure it does. OU gets home town advantage in the WCWS (assuming they win regional and supers). SEC gets teams moved up in rankings, seedings, etc. because ESPN.

Can you say with a straight face that TWENTY-SEVEN loss Mizzou is one of the best 64 teams in the country?

I’m actually ok with favoritism the SEC gets in softball only as long as we get to host the WCWS. It puts a chip on our girl’s shoulders knowing they get little respect and have to keep earning each win.

OU gets a ton of respect I’m not sure what you are smoking

They are considered a borderline dynasty.

50-3 record gets you a 4 seed of it was Ole Miss? @ Auburn last year’s Supers even with a better record. Same @ Bama 2 years earlier.

And yet you (SEC fans) still complain that OU gets an unfair advantage with the WCWS in OKC.




I'm sure Florida would have had no advantage last year if the WCWS was in Jacksonville, FL.
