I wouldn't be surprised at all, with how poor we ended the season, 5 losses in 7 games. I hope we do get in, however.
How surprised will you be if we don't make a regional?

Top conference in the nation.
Top 25 RPI and SOS.
Winning record.
Made the SEC tournament in Hoover.
5-5 in the last ten games.
The only question is going to be #2 seed or #3 seed. RPI-wise, we rate as a #2 seed but we're not ranked in the polls.

but there are 16 2 seeds. and some teams (aub, uga, not sure what's the deal with asu) that are in the top 32 rpi-wise probably or at least may not be eligible for postseason play. i'd say we are a low 2 or high 3. i'd take a high 3 with a weaker host rather than being a 2 with a national seed.Maroon Eagle said:
Arizona State is expected to play in the regionals. Their appeal is not expected to be ruled on until later.
Auburn, if they make the regionals, is a likely 3-seed based on their record and RPI rating (currently #36).
Georgia rates as a 2-seed RPI wise but their record will likely disqualify them from consideration-- since they have to not only beat Auburn but win at least two more games after that.
I'd like to be a 3-seed at a weaker host too... but I'm kind of thinking the option there would be going to Connecticut (I wouldn't be surprised if the Huskies hosted and got a 2-seed) and even then, there'd likely be a 1-seed like, say, Pac-10 regular season winner Oregon State as the 1-seed.

I mean, especially in baseball, it can be pretty scattered and biased. (See Baseball America's poll)
But, maybe they do.

...even though the Bulldogs rate a 2-seed according to the RPI, the fact we've been unranked the whole season plus our conference placement makes me think that a 3-seed would not be surprising.
but anyway....A Low 3 seed would be a bad spot because you will likely be at a TOP 8 host. Because even if you pull the upset, you would still likely travel for a Super. But a low 2 at a Top 8 gives you a shot if you win it.
2 plays 3 so all else being equal, makes no difference.
If these seniors do not hit the ball where gloves aren't it doesn't matter what seed we are. It will be 2 & out. Because our pitching is not going to win a 3-2, or 4-3 game. Not going to happen unless we draw Alcorn or South Carolina State or Howard.

The best 3 seeds go to the best 1 seeds. Just like 1 seeds in the basketball tournament play 8 or 9 in the second round, the absolute best 1 seeds in the baseball tournament will be matched up with the worst 2 seeds and best 3 seeds.<div>
</div><div>Of course, other factors such as geography and avoiding conference matchups come into play as well. I remember Ole Miss fans fuming when they were sent to #1 Miami for a regional a couple years ago, and they just couldn't get it through their heads that it theoretically meant the committee viewed them as the top 3 seed.</div>

miracles like the last time to Omaha only happen once in a life time... we will go, get our asses kicked by 2 better programs that get half the quality practice time due to weather and go home...
