Day 3 of Softball Postseason, prelude to another OU title

12 teams still alive (Missouri and Kentucky eliminated), counting OU and Texas. Seems likely that 6 win regionals. Big news is UCLA, the #2 national seed goes down in two games, at home, to Grand Canyon and Liberty. That has to be the worst two game, home stretch in softball history, right?
Regional finals today
OU v Cal - Missouri eliminated, Cal must win twice. Mercy rule, early day and easy day for OU.
Clemson v Auburn - Auburn must win twice, don't see it happening.
Stanford v Florida - Florida has to win twice, and will probably muster no offense again, against a good team. That is the pattern. Stanford moves on. Stanford drilled UF earlier in the regional.
Bama v Middle Tenn - MTSU must win twice, and I see Bama taking this. Big question is whether Fouts will be available for the super regional. News story said she is day-to-day. My guess is that she will pitch in the super regional and with that, Bama has a shot to get to the CWS.
Texas v Texas A&M - A&M must win twice, but Texas is the better team.
Tenn v winner of Indiana/Louisville - I think rain held up this regional. Doesn't matter, Vols are rolling.
FSU v SoCar - SoCar must win twice. This one is over. FSU will win. 11am start, FSU is smart. Start early, end early, get some rest and watch the remaining games on TV.
Georgia v Va Tech - Va Tech must win twice. Won't happen.
Arky v Oregon - Arky lost at home, now has to win twice on Sunday. It's possible, not likely though. Oregon is playing well.
LSU v Louisiana - LSU will win.
Utah v Ole Miss - Ole Miss must win twice, and I'm not seeing that.
Likely regional champs at this point:
#1 OU
#16 Clemson
#9 Stanford
#8 Duke
#5 Bama
#12 Northwestern
#13 Texas
#4 Tennessee
#3 FSU
#14 Georgia
UNR Oregon
#6 Ok St
#7 Washington
#10 LSU
#15 Utah
UNR San Diego St.
I don't know if the supers will match winner of #1 overall seed regional versus winner of the #16 overall seed regional, and so on, or if they re-seed with #16 traveling to #1 and so forth.
Not sure it will matter. OU is winning this thing, again. As everyone knows. Here come the OU fans, "Anything can happen, man. It's not over till it's over."
Nah, it's over, but we'll get a few more good games in the post season.

My understanding is, for the super regionals, you play the team that comes out of the region you were paired with regardless of who wins that region and teams are not re seeded.

Correct. It's the same format as baseball

Yep. Ole Miss is in the same position as State was last year. If they come out of their regional, the opposite region is chaos and they will be an unlikely host.
No. 2 UCLA losing to Grand Canyon and Liberty to bow out early. Wow.

I watched a couple games yesterday afternoon. It’s better than girls basketball.
That’s all I got.

Up to 6 downvotes. Damn you, ingrates!
Make it 10, I dare you. I dare you all!

In that unlikely event, I'm not sure if we could host it. I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that construction has already started on tearing down our current stadium.

Softball over baseball any day of the week …. Baseball is slow and to much ego maniacs in it …..

Georgia is all over Va Tech early. That could be a run rule game. 5-0 Georgia. Do we call them Dawgettes or...what?
Auburn is on Clemson in the 1st, and Clemson looks rattled. Auburn up 3-0.

That list is as good as any.
5th inning and Auburn is trying its best to hand the game to Clemson. Walks galore. 4-2
I don't know what Auburn's catcher is doing but she is driving me crazy. She seems to have a conversation with herself after every pitch, has the yips, can't throw it back to the pitcher or something. I don't know what I'm looking at.
Finally they get the 3rd out. Catcher can't throw it back to the pitcher but she can spike it on the ground. Weirdness abounds....

FSU loses to SoCar and they are now onto the "if necessary" game. Yikes.
FSU trying to pull a UCLA right now. It's like they forgot their bats back at the hotel or something.

OU up 5-0 on Cal in top of 1st, 1 out so far
Sorry, 6-0 they hit another homer as I was typing. 4 homers so far
Finally got them out. Call changed pitchers when down 3-0 and OU got 3 more with the 2nd pitcher. All 3 outs were strikeouts ironically. Went thru batting order in 1 inning

Georgia wins - they are on to the supers.
Auburn beats Clemson - they are on to the "if necessary" game.
OU - yawn, hitting a trillion homers. What else is new?
Duke may lose and have to play another one.

Texas is up 4-0 on A&M, 1st inning.
OU up 6-0 in the first over Cal. Is there really a point to continuing?
