That's twice today they've done it. Clemson is down a player and two coaches for this regional now and the officials created the whole thing.
Wow. Florida 3 outs away to Omaha.

Polk and cohen both would have gotten tossed for that crap in regional with the bad calls we had against uva.
I hate Florida baseball about as much as I do ole miss Tennessee and Vandy baseball. They just gave me a reason to cheer for Clemson even more
Between all the replay and the umpires, college baseball has sucked at times this postseason.
Cohen might have had a stroke with the state of umpiring.
They didn’t sneak into the tourney. They had a Top 30 RPI and played a tough as hell schedule. 13 wins was definitely going to get them in, and they got it. Don’t think they were ever anywhere close to the bubble,
So if State had gone 28-27(13-17) do you think they would have made a regional? I know the answer. So no, I think the BS that IS the RPI is used inappropriately in selecting teams. Not now, not ever should any Los be more valuable than a win! That is how T-Ball kids get rewarded just for being on a team! Not how you reward 18-22 years old adults!
With UF’s metrics? Absolutely. We’ve actually gotten an at large at 12-18 in SEC play before.
You seem to be arguing that a team who has now proven itself by winning two regionals away from it's home field, should not have been in the tournament.
Let's just focus on Arizona being picked as a host...
If State had gone 28-27 (13-17) this year, their RPI would've been a lot worse than FL's, so no, State wouldn't have gotten in, nor should they. Florida deserved to get in, and they have validated the decision by advancing.
RPI isn't perfect, but it's the best evaluation tool available. If State beats Sam Houston State and Florida loses to Arkansas, you don't just give State the edge because "wins are more valuable." That's stupid.
