Wake Forest, LSU and Florida
Wake Forest has to turn the No. 1 curse, as only 3 of the last 8 seasons has the No. 1 overall seed reached Omaha, with each of the last 3 (UCLA in 2019, Arkansas in 2021 and Tennessee in 2022) all losing their super regional.
LSU and Florida for the same reason - both are perceived too good all season not to make it.
It's still early in Jay Johnson's career, so it wouldn't be the end of the world for their trajectory to miss out, but would still sting. O'Sullivan on the other hand has the pressure to show that his program is still capable of playing at the level Florida was during most of the 2010s

SoMiss is a talented team. But you'd be hard-pressed to find people who don't agree. Tennessee really needs to win that series after taking Clemson out of the picture. To blow it down in Hattie would be a disappointing end to the season, even if they exceeded my expectations by escaping their regional.

100% Lsu and there’s not a close second.
The amount of money they invested in this team compared to anybody else.
Anything but winning it all would be disappointing.
They should go get a mlb manager and kick Jay Johnson to the curb

Arkansas choking yet again this year is a close second if LSU does it.

Stanford's going to be our bosses, so they aren't sweating it.

Absolutely Wake followed closely by LSU. LSU has a large contingent of fans who are insufferable with anything less than a national championship. But they are each helping the other in that Wake may be the #1 team, but many still consider LSU the favorite, and I am sure LSU doesn't mind not having the #1 albatross around it's neck.

Probably LSU. Skenes is a generational talent.

If we get to Omaha, and go 2 and BBQ, people will see it as a failure. There is pressure to not only get to there, but to win.

Good luck Bama. Rooting for you.
