I don't care about the odds or seeds. it's just an opinion from watching. Perhaps I'm not giving Ole Miss enough credit? It is actually tough to envision someone knocking UGA off right now with the way they are playing.

At least we took care of business against tu this year. We own them and we will live rent free in their heads all post season.

---

Ah yeah bud I bet they are pretty torn up about it right now.

---

they???

Those games still matter to Ags and longhorns no matter what they do.

So that means the regular season games mean a lot to you.

Is living in a world of "what if's" or "has not happened" a BAS thing?

RED STORM RISING!!



EDIT - For the record, I'm rooting for Alabama in the super, but I want a game 3.

Well that's over

Crazy to come out of a delay on a 3-1 count. Surely I've seen that before?

there are five top 8 seeds still playing. And four 9-thru-16 hosts

in recent seasons an average of four top 8 seeds reach Omaha...and two 9-16 hosts

we'll see if those averages hold

---

so the average of four top 8 seeds reaching Omaha hit again

but it looks like only one 9-16 host will make it

(unless Kansas makes a huge comeback)

also interesting...

the regional round is where the top 8's are vulnerable...because of the different format

lost three top 8's in the regional round this year

lost three top 8's in the regional round last year

the sips were great at home this year

won 9 of 9 home series played at DF including the super-regional

throw in the regional...and they won all 10 of their home weekends

now on the road/neutral...the sips are very mortal

Yes, Texas went 34-4 (0.895) in home games, including 12-3 (0.800) in SEC home games. However, Texas went just 8-8 (.500) in true road games, including 7-7 (0.500) in SEC road games. If that third game of the Texas vs Texas A&M series had not been cancelled, we probably would have won it for a 3-0 sweep. That would have dropped Texas' SEC record to 19-11, overall road record to 8-9, and their SEC road record to 7-8. Indeed, the Sips are very beatable in road or neutral site games.

Texas went 3-1 in neutral site games and Omaha isn't a "true road game."
If Georgia wins it's likely going to be because they were better rather than Texas not faring as well in an opponent's home park.

Davidian?

I thought his eligibility had already been burned.

5th SEC team just about to make it to Omaha. Now, let's say none of them made it, and for fun, we randomly pick 5 of the 7 teams that didn't make it - A&M, MSU, Tennessee, UF, KY, Auburn, Arkansas. The CWS field doesn't even go down in quality. On top of that, last year's #1 overall seed and last year's national champion didn't make the field...and of course every person reading this would trade our entire baseball history for what Ray Tanner did at SC.

Their one neutral site loss was to Arkansas. The other three were Coastal Carolina (solid but not the team they were last year), Baylor and Ohio State. Their side of the bracket in Omaha is made up entirely of SEC teams.

The SEC won every super that there was an SEC team in. Ole Miss is feeling left out of the SEC party on the right side of the bracket.

In the 3 Supers involving SEC against non-SEC, the SEC was 6-0, outscoring opponents, including 2 national seeds, 53 - 13.

Meanwhile, in the 4 games involving SEC vs. SEC, the total scoring was 35 - 28, with all 4 games decided by 2 runs or less.

also of note...

no private schools in the CWS

in fact it's been 3 years since a private school made it

(TCU, Wake, Stanford, and Oral Roberts all in 2023)

is this the NIL effect kicking in?

6 of the 8 Super Regional hosts reached the College World Series, including 4 of the top 8 seeds: No. 3 Georgia, No. 5 North Carolina, No. 6 Texas, and No. 7 Alabama. No. 16 West Virgina and Troy won their home Super Regionals, but No. 4 Auburn and No. 15 Kansas lost their home Super Regionals.

The College World Series will feature 5 SEC teams (No. 3 Georgia, No. 6 Texas, and No. 7 Alabama, Ole Miss, and Oklahoma, 1 ACC team (North Carolina), 1 Big 12 team (No. 16 West Virgina), and 1 Sunbelt team (Troy).
