Top 5 SEC teams on same side of bracket, Top 3 ACC teams on same side, top PAC teams on the same side. They are trying to avoid at all cost what happened last year. They even have two top 16 teams from the same conference matched up in Clemson and FSU. I’m calling bullshite.

Someone needs to move the NCAA office out of Birmingham.

It’s a lot easier to do in baseball and basketball because of the number of teams. This isn’t about Bama so stop trying to make it about Bama.

Why does everything have to be a conspiracy with LSU fans?

Nobody wants the championship to be between two teams in the same conference.

So a championship game between the two best teams of a particular sport are not what sport is all about?

Dude. No offense, but this is just baseball. They are placing teams regionally, so the travel will be minimized.

And, yes, I know, Bama's baseball travel is very minimized this season.

It’s not a conspiracy it’s fact. This isn’t just about the SEC. the top teams from the ACC and PAC are all on the same side of the bracket. It was done deliberately to avoid what happened last year. Anyone that can’t see that is being willfully ignorant.

What's the problem with the regional pairings?

SEC has a great shot to get 4 of 8 at the CWS.

True but only one can make the finals because they are all on the same side of the bracket along with Auburn.

Yeah it’s plain as day. I can’t imagine the NCAA even trying to deny it. I don’t really think it’s a huge deal but saying it’s not intentional is just dumb.

I should have stated that certainly there are always exceptions. But, by and large, they are somewhat kept the same region.

Dude, Bama softball went to Washington for the supers and got waxed. I don’t recall Bama threads whining about it.

You go where you’re sent. No need to whine about petty shite.

You’re right it’s not a huge deal, I just hate seeing the NCAA “finesse” shite to make sure certain outcomes don’t happen
