Idk why LSU fans in particular are taking this so personally. It's a common sense issue, not a UGA specific issue. There is a massive competitive imbalance between the two sides and you'd have to be a complete retard to argue otherwise. Considering these teams have made it this far and are the last ones standing you would think it stands to reason that you'd want them all to be on somewhat equal footing as far as chances to advance. With this year's bracket clearly that is not the case.

Switch UGA and UNC prior to Omaha and we are in the same position they are coasting and cruising to an easy championship appearance while UNC may already be eliminated for all we know. Hell even bama on the left side would've had the chance to make a little noise.


This is a poor argument and one 99% of people will disagree with. UGA had the easier regional and super. It's a bracket. No different than the NCAA basketball tournament. In no championship sport does reseeding happen. Happens all the time one side is tougher than the other, or upsets fuel one side over others.

The topic has been reseding once you get to omaha, nobody has mentioned anything about what happens before then.

For starters March madness is an awful way to determine the best team in America and is more about entertainment than anything. With so many teams and so many games it would also be nearly impossible to reseed after every round. And again, nobody is suggesting receiving after every game, just once you have the final 18s to reseed them accordingly, it isn't difficult and there's really no reason not to.

ETA: and on the topic of our super regional, I am 100% certain that Mississippi State would have done better than probably half the teams in the field in omaha.

48 players were named 1st-Team All-SEC, 2nd-Team All-SEC or to the SEC All-Freshman team this season. Oklahoma had 0 guys among those 48. The Sooners will play in college baseball’s Final Four Wednesday night.

Georgia will start Paul Farley against Oklahoma tonight. Farley is 8-1 with a 4.53 ERA this season.

He last started the SEC tournament championship game against Arkansas.

And OU is starting another freshman... A total of 29 innings pitched, and his ONLY start of the year was against Citadel in the supers, allowing 3 runs in 7 IP.

LSU is the standard and face of college baseball since the 80's. No one takes you bums serious especially one's on a LSU website.

OU has had the hardest path of any team . Will have to beat the sec champ and conference tournament champ in Georigia two times.

Beat Big 12 champ and conference tourney champ in KU

Beat acc conference and tourney champ in GT who many thought was going to win the national title

and beat Citadel who also won their conference and conference tournament i believe .

NC very highly ranked also. Will go down as one of the hardest most difficult runs ever if we can get past uga and unc tall tasks . I also agree we need to close this game out to beat unc

As was Florida in 2023 while LSU had to beat Wake Forest twice to get to the finals and the Tigers still won it all.

hardest run ever in sports history just not just college baseball.


OU had to play a TERRIBLE alabama team first game. 3rd ranked Georgia and 5th ranked UNC.

just 3 seasons ago. LSU had to play Tennessee. 1st ranked WF and beat them twice. 2nd place Florida and beat them twice.

I think it's a better situation for Georgia or Oklahoma. They'll be battle tested while UNC has been on the beach.
I don't know what got into Oklahoma, but they're playing on a different level since making the tournament. It's impressive.
