Mixing It Up



Good to see some different teams going to different regionals. I'm thinking Texas A&M going to Miami as the No. 2 seed.

Bad to see Arizona in, that's a straight RPI pick. Wildcats are the No. 3 seed at TCU despite losing their last six series. Bad news for Cal?

Bubble not in yet: Kentucky and North Carolina.

Arizona is not bad pick. RPI aside its SOS is 8, it had quality wins, quality series wins and played in the best conference (arguably). Too much emphasis weekend series W-L. How about the teams that win ONE weekend series in a season ending tourney (granted its against other teams) to get the auto bid. That is simply wrong.

You’re comparing apples and oranges with an at-large bid versus an automatic bid. I agree that conference tournaments don’t make a ton of sense for baseball. But I disagree that there’s too much emphasis on weekend series W-L. College baseball is set up for weekend series, and if you lose six straight to end the season, that says a lot about what kind of team you have in May. And right now, Arizona’s team isn’t quite good enough. But its overall body of work also matters, and the committee took the Wildcats. As Aaron said in another blog post and on Twitter, it’s not indefensible. We just would have done something else, such as taking Wichita State.
