It’s a crime that Arkansas, Auburn, or Ole Miss will go home before the title game

Really should be 2 of those teams competing for the natty this weekend

The likelihood of an all SEC title game is pretty low with Aggies doing Aggie things

Maybe the Hogs should’ve beat Aggy instead of crying about somehow not getting 3 teams into the title game.

Sorry for my ignorance but how are the brackets determined?

All by seed when the field of 64 is set, similar to basketball.

Honestly, if you can get a moderator or something to Seach the rant for post when the super regional system was implemented, the NCAA basically admitted it was to equalize or minimize the SEC teams in the tournament. Since we have good weather, big stadiums that draw 9000k for regionals, which means more money, we are getting all the hosting bids. Back then you had 6 teams in 8 regionals, I think one year we had 5 or 6 of them witn the other being Florida State and maybe USC or California State Fulleraton, (which was a baseball power for about a decade).

A bunch of schools complained saying it wasn’t fair LSU got to stay home every year, like Mississippi State, Florida every year etc. We had won half of the CWS, the previous ten years so I guess they had a point kinda.

So they came up with the Super Regional System, and to make up for lost revenue they added extra games, and ended our home field advantage.

They would have put all SEC teams on one side of the bracket if they could have gotten away with it. It’s not that they hate the SEC, but they want good ratings and national attention et. Its better for college baseball, and we agree, but it’s not our fault the California teams have gone to shite, and the ACC is off.

Ron Polk, Skip Bertman etc have created a monster, SEC baseball is a dominant creature that can’t be contained

Honestly, I dont think ANY of those three would have survived an OU/A&M/ND bracket.

Fact. (actually, opinion :) )

You’re one of the better Aggie posters, so I don’t mean to single you out. I just don’t understand why someone states their opinion and then follows it up with “Fact”. Clearly you have no way of knowing that.

Just an observation of general Rant dynamics.

Thanks for the needed correction. (Fact!)

Is it the WCWS where the brackets flip once you get down to four teams? I rather like that format, makes it so that a team can’t skate by in an easier bracket by avoiding tougher teams.

Ole Miss definitely could the way they are playing right now and probably Arkansas too

Wut, I haven’t looked at other brackets but Auburn beat #3 OSU twice and #2 Stanford once.

That’s as legit as it gets.

Fwiw there’s a lot of good teams this year. Utexas was a hell of a team also and they went 0-2.

Exactly. I am so glad they didn't get the chance to embarrass the SEC with that BS in Omaha

What's a crime is Arky getting their doors blown off in Omaha like they are.

To say AR/AUB deserves anything more than any of the other 1-loss teams is a joke.

Why? Bama who didn't make a regional did much worse.
