D1Baseball shakes up its Field of 64 ahead of conference championship games
Sunday is the final day in college baseball before the full NCAA Tournament field will be announced. Entering conference tournament championship games, D1Baseball has released an updated projection on the Field of 64.
The 16 regional hosting spots are far from finalized, and the results from Sunday’s games could have major impacts on the top 16 overall seeds in the tournament. Following the title games on Sunday, the 16 regional hosting sites will be announced by the NCAA at 8:30 p.m. ET on Sunday night. Then, the full NCAA Tournament field will be announced at 12 noon ET on Monday. The road to the College World Series in Omaha gets underway next weekend.
There are two changes amongst the 16 regional hosts after Saturday’s projections, with Oklahoma State and Florida leapfrogging TCU and LSU as top 16 seeds.
In D1Baseball’s projected Field of 64, they also included their last four teams in and first four teams out of the tournament. The last four in were UTSA, Liberty, Dallas Baptist, and Old Dominion. The first four teams out were Grand Canyon, West Virginia, Alabama, and Ole Miss.
